Except for (*)items, above is photo-copy of US-mail
supplied announcement dated Jun 5 1998.)
Many visiors and much material exchanged there relates to
descentants of William (Billy) CALDWELL b 1771 in VA
s/o probably Seth CALDWELL I. He formed a known family of
6 in Giles co VA ca 1799-1810. While there he iniated travel/
trade between his area of VA and Knox, future Harlan co and
surronding areas of KY. He moved there (KY) in 1811-13.
In 1819 his VA wife and her
bros were on a deed filed there
which included that her husband was "now a resident of
Kentucky"
The 1995 "CALDWELLS of Virginia and KY" mentions that no
"marriage records containing him and his KY 'wife' have
been located but beginning in Knox county KY ca 1811 the
first of a line of 10 more children were born with her.
Of course descendants of his KY group are a larger percent
of the attemdees but the key generator of William's VA data
has been meaningful there.
There have been folks from Europe and wide areas of US there
with-out formal ties to William's lines.
(I have attented 5 or so of these events and am part of
a line using the spelling COLDWELL and from a chain semi-
based in TN rather than VA or KY until Andrew Forgey
COLDWELL arrived in Harlan as engineer/surveyer in 1830's.
Married Frances JONES, iniated children and also got a
Lawyer liscense there Family then moved to Laurel Co KY
which even tho far back had a bit of time in VA where
Thomas COLDWELL m Delphia BALLARD then they and many of
their descandants lived in Hawkins and other counties in TN.
Sorry I am this late in getting the notice out, not sure yet
that I will get there, but hope to. Jim
James Forga CALDWELL/COLDWELL
