I found Nancy Caldwell living with her great aunt Mary Hansen Dodd (George Dodd) in
Washington County Pennsylvania in the 1860 and 1870 Federal Censuses. Rosanna Garvin
Caldwell may have died in childbirth or shortly after. Mary, her mother's sister, was
quite generous on taking in small children. She also raised along with her own several
children, Hugh Garvin, who lost his parents to cholera in 1849. His father was Samuel
Garvin, also Rosanna's father, and his mother was Nancy Hansen Garvin, sister of Mary
Dodd. The surviving Garvin brothers reunited at Bethany College near Wheeling in 1860
with oldest brother Thomas D. Garvin still heading the family as he had done since the age
of 20.
