Hello-o-o cousin!
Finally, I seem to have found a relative that I can connect to! I believe
our families connect at Andrew Caldwell. My records show that Oliver had the
following children -
Perry Caldwell, born in 1875
Florence E. Caldwell, born March 1878
John D. Caldwell, born April 1879
William J. Caldwell, born August 1881
Oliver A. Caldwell, born December 1884
Charles Caldwell, born December 1886
Sarah M. Caldwell, born June 1890
David C. Caldwell, born September 1891
As you can see, the fact that both Perry & Oliver had a father named Andrew
who was born in 1848 in Kentucky points to the fact that we are related.
My part of the family is very stingy with their information about our
ancestors.
I was born in Portsmouth, Ohio which is just across the Ohio river from
Greenup county, Kentucky.
My father's name is Charles Edward Caldwell, born January 17, 1933 in
Greenup county, Kentucky
His father's name was Thad Edward Caldwell, born July 13, 1908 in Lewis
county, Kentucky
wife - Julia Alice Nelson, born August 7, 1910 in White Oak, Kentucky
His father's name was Oliver Andrew Caldwell, born 1884 in Greenup county,
Kentucky,
wife -Cora Belle Spaulding, born 1891 in Grumm, W. Va.
His father's name was Andrew H. Caldwell, born 1848 in Kentucky,
wife - Sarah, born 1849 in Kentucky (I did not have her full name until
now).
And until your message, that is all that I had. I want to thank you for this
information. Now I can start trying to check connections outside of
Kentucky. If anyone else can connect to what I have listed, please let me
know.

Hi;
I just 'joined' this list. My maiden name is Phoebe Caldwell - I married a
Dunn.
I was born and raised in Ashland, KY in NE Ky - on the Ohio River.
My father was Bert Cecil Caldwell, born in Catlettsburg, KY. He married
Elsie Robinson.
His father, Perry Edgar Caldwell, also from that area.
He was married to Myrtle Bell Dixon.
Perry's father was Andrew Caldwell, born 17 Feb 1848, Boyd County, KY.
Married to Sarah Katherine Alley.
Andrew's father was William Caldwell, b-12 Jan 1825 in VA. At some point he
moved to eastern KY and married Jane Burton.
William's father was Seth Caldwell. And that's where it stops.
We have no dates for Seth. The only information we have is from an elderly
aunt who was told Seth came from England in 1822 to VA. We don't know his
wife's name either. However, this aunt also said although he came from
England that his family was probably from Holland. At least that's what she
was told. No proof.
Any information will be GREATLY appreciated.
thanks....
Phoebe Caldwell Dunn
