My Caldwells were from Maryland's Eastern Shore having arrived in old
Somerset County by 1688 when a land grant
called Balley Boggen (apparently Bally Bogen after the town
of that name in County Donegal, Ireland) was acquired by them. They lived
in Somerset and Worcester Counties in Maryland.
Then in 1755 Spencer Caldwell came to old Dobbs County, NC
with his mother and her second husband, Robert Caldwell
(her first husband) having died in Worcester County, MD c.
1742, just about the time Spencer was born.;
Spencer Caldwell lived in the Wheat Swamp Community near
the boundary between Greene and Lenoir Counties, NC with
his wife Martha who was perhaps a daugher of Charles Young.
Then in 1808 their son Spencer II bought 906 acres of land on
SaddleTree Swamp in Robeson County (near Lumberton).
In 1811 his brother John Caldwell and his wife Nancy Hartsfield
also moved from Lenoir County to Robeson County.
Benjamin Caldwell of Robeson County was from the John
Caldwell/Nancy Hartsfield family.
My own line continues with Henry Allen Caldwell, son of Spencer II and his
wife Piercey. Henry moved to Monroe
County, GA in 1829 where his uncle Charles Young Caldwell
already lived.
Henry married Susan Russell Beckham (dau of James Beckham and Martha
Carson).
Monroe County was divided and the Caldwells found themselves in Pike County.
Charles Young Caldwell died
there in 1653. Henry and his family moved to Elba, Coffee Co.,
AL in 1855. Henry died there in 1860. He was my great
grandfather.
After the Civil War most of the children of Henry and Susan moved to Texas.
Good luck. Some of the South Carolina Caldwells could also
be descended from some of the sons of Spencer Caldwell I
and his wife Martha.
If I can be of help let me know. I have some info somewhere on
Benjamin of Robeson County and his family.
