(Letter from John Roger to Elias B. Caldwell on the Caldwell Family)
"Our grandfather emigrated from Scotland to Ireland soon after King Williams
conquest of that place. Our grandfather, John Caldwell, was born in Ireland
and was there married to a Margaret Phillips (our grandmother). He remained
there until they had five children, at which time he got three of his
brothers-in -law, who had married his sisters to come to America with him
(to wit) Moor, Ritchey, and Dudgeon. Wll: of whom I well remember and one
brother-in-law who married his wife's sister whose name was Dougherty,
grandfather of my wife and Thomas Doughtery formerly clerk to the lower
house of Congress. They set sail together and landed in Delaware the very
day that King George the second was proclaimed there. From thence they got
up the country to a place in Pa., then, called Chestnut Level. Our
grandfather naturally of an enterprising spirit, explored the country
southwesterly from a place in Va. no Albemarle Co to which he moved and was
soon followed by al his kindred. There he lived some years; there our
grandfather died and his oldest son and my mother his only daughter were
married. They and their companions moved with him to Roanoke River and the
fine lands there explored the country westerly until he and his followers
fixed on a fine level waterly spot not 30 miles outside any inhabitants to
which place him and his sons and brothers-in-law moved about the year 1742-43.
They were soon after joined by other friends mostly from Ireland or Pa.
until they formed a little settlement which was known and always called
Caldwell Settlement for thirty years after our father was the first Justice
of the Peace and his oldest son the oldest militia officer that was over
appointed under King George II within 25 miles of that place in that
neighborhood. I was born and in it was married and had six children before
I (he?) moved to Ky in the year 1781. Our grandfathers children were
William, Thomas, David, all are buried in the same graveyard with their
father. David's widow and all the family moved to Ky. Uncle John went to
So. Carolina and died there. Uncle William's widow and all that family went
also to So. Carolina. Our friend John C. Calhoun is a son of the 2nd
daughter of that family"

CALDWELL
This family is a very ancient one. It is said to be descended from
Albigenses and Waldenses of the Piedmont section of Italy, who were driven
into France by the Roman Catholic persecutions. Some of the Caldwells, who
were living at Mount Arid, near Toulon, France, earned the enmity of Francis
I, of France, and after his escape from imprisonment under Charles V, of
Germany, three Caldwells, brothers, John, Alexander and Oliver emigrated to
Scotland, and there with the consent of James I, purchased the estate of a
Bishop named Douglas, located near Solney Frith. It was proved that "the
said brothers, John, Alexander and Oliver, late of Mount Arid, " should have
their estate known as "Caldwell" on condition that when the King should
require they should each send a son with twenty men of sound limb, to aid in
the wars of the King. (Account of Elsie Chapline Pheby Cross, in Journal of
American History.)
There is a cup, preserved as an heirloom, which represents a chieftain and
twenty mounted men, all armed, and a man drawing water from a well, with the
words underneath, "Alexander of Cauldwell." It also shows a fire burning on
a hill, over the words, "Mount Arid," and also a vessel surrounded by high
waves, which the latter was intended to commemorate the fact that their
ancestors were common in the Mediterranean, in the latter part of the
Fourteenth Century. (Id. Cross)
Oliver Cromwell's grandmother was Ann Cauldwell, and Joseph, John,
Alexander, Daniel, David, and Andrew, of Cauldwell, went with Cromwell to
Ireland, and in various capacities served his interest there, after his
accession to the Protectorate. Upon the restoration of Charles II, a member
of the family emigrated to America.
There are three traceable distinct immigrations of the Caldwells from Ireland.
First, John Caldwell, who with his family landed at New Castle, Delaware,
Dec. 10, 1727.
Second, James Caldwell, of county Tyrone, Ireland, with his family who came
in 1769. With him also came two younger brothers, John who settled in
Virginia, and David who settled in one of the Carolinas.
Third, John Caldwell of Harmony Hill, near, Ballymony, County Antrim,
Ireland, who with his family somewhere between 1798 and 1800 settled on the
present site of Salisbury Mills, Orange County, New Your, except the
youngest son, who settled in Charleston, S.C. Two brothers later came to
America, one was James Caldwell who settled in Philadelphia, and the other,
Richard Caldwell, who settled in Baltimore.
The first emigrant John Caldwell and his group, comprising of his wife, five
children and three brothers-in -law Moore, Richey, and Dudgeon, who landed
at New Castle, Delaware, Dec 10, 1727. He was one of the pioneer settlers
of the territory created into Lunenburg County. After landing and before
emigrating to Virginia, he located for a time in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania.
