I started about 3 months ago with my geneological research. I am searching
for information on my greatgrandfather, John William Caldwell, born in
Stevenson, Jackson County, Alabama in 9/14/1880. His father was John William
Caldwell Jr., born about 1856, his father's name also John William Caldwell.
When my gggrandfather, John William Caldwell Jr. died at the age of 27 in
1883, his wife Sarah (possibly Sallie) Rutherford moved to Texas to live with
Jim Thornton & family (cousins of some sort). There was very little contact
with Caldwell family in Alabama after that time. There may have been a
brother by name of Robert and possibly a sister by name of Laura that some of
my greatgrandfather's children were named after (at least that's the story
told by my great aunt). Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
