William Coldwell/Coaldwell (b 1695 southern England, d 1802 Horton (Kings) Nova Scotia) is my ancestor. Wife was Jane Jordan (1717-1796). They were married about 1733 in Stoughton, Massachusetts. They are buried in Gaspareau Cemetery, Gaspareau (Kings) Nova Scotia. The family lived in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. They had 10 children. The family moved to Bridgeport, Connecticut about 1745, then to Nova Scotia about 1758 except for my ancestor, Ebenezer Coldwell/Caldwell, who stayed in Massachusetts because of disagreement with his father's political leanings (Loyalist). I have not seen DNA results for anyone in this family. Unfortunately, my family "daughtered" out long ago, so no direct male descendent in my line to test. I have much information on this family.
Horton, Nova Scotia, Nov 2, 1802
William Coldwell died at this place October 28, 1802, in the 108th year of his age. He was a native of England, and remembered the coronation of Queen Anne. He served in the British Navy upward of ninety years ago; afterwards he became a settler in New England, and was one of the first adventurers on the Isle of Sable for the relief of the distressed castaway there. He was one of the first settlers here in 1760. He left behind him a numerous progeny, upward of one hundred of which, to the degree of great-grandchildren, reside in this place. He generally retained his health and bodily strength to that degree that he could cut wood and walk to his neighbors without a staff till last year, and till his death retained all his mental faculties to a surprising degree, and, as he lived the life of a Christian, so at death he testified his confidence in a blissful immortality.

Hello again John;
I know of no 'Coldwell" in our lineage - i had not been aware of the Coldwell in Nove Scotia until this latest visit to Ancestry.com. I am very interested to learn of your pursuit of the family's chromosonal background and relationships.
Let's keep in touch and if I find any gems to share I will get back again.
Brian

There is a further complication with Scotland. There is an entirely separate family originating in Flintshire named Caldwell which occasionally gets mixed up with the English Coldwell familiy and I assume also possibly with Coldwells. One way to possibly sort this out would be by DNA testing of male Y chromosome. I have a project with FTDNA aiming to do just that. It would be interesting to see if we are closely related or quite different families. See https://www.familytreedna.com/login.aspx
Are linked to the Coldwell family of Nova Scotia?
Regards John

Thanks for your thoughts John, this could be an explanation, however I am also curious about the existence of a town and a burrough near Aberdeen in Scotland that are both named "Coldwells". Out of curiosity, I tried to communicate with a cousin who is attached (capacity unknown) to a university there without any success. So the quandary continues on my end. When I have more time I will try to come back to this and see whether the names you have quoted indeed appear anywhere in an old hand-drawn family tree that has been handed down to me.
Regards,
Brian

Hi Brian
Interesting. I had not thought of that problem.
I am doing a one-name study of Coldwell see www.coldwell-roots.co.uk
I believe that Coldwells could be a variant of Coldwell. At some point a Coldwell child may have got named Coldwells.
It may have started with JOSEPH COLDWELL Birth: 14 APR 1801 Christening: 10 MAY 1801 Saint Leonards, Shoreditch, London, Father: JOHN COLDWELL Mother: ANN
Will (Coldwells)
of 7 Sanford Lane Stoke Newington Middlesex gardener died 27 Apr 1873
Proved Principal Registry by John Coldwells of 5 Bridge Place Stamford Hill builder the son the sole executor. Effects under £1000
Buried Abney Park Cemetery
I would appreciate if you could add anything to this? Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards John Coldwell johnkcoldwell(a)gmail.com

Not to be confused with Caldwell, Coldwell or Couldwell, the multiplicity of these names should have an apostrophe before the 's'. Commonly we see Coldwells when referring to Coldwell families - the distinction should be made by using Coldwell's so as not to confuse us who are Coldwells'!
My full name is Albert Brian Coldwells, born in 1940 in England and emigrated to Canada in 1943. i find the search for my relatives on Ancestry is complicated by this common misuse of the manner of reference to multiple families.
