Could have been born in Delaware in 1736.

I have conflicting data regarding the marriage of John to Mary Ann Davies - Davies marriage could have been a 1st or 2nd. Other marriage is listed to Jane Kennedy (Kennedy Clan - US) at Old Cub Creek Church, VA in 1746. At the age of 31, I doubt that this (Kennedy) was his first marriage. Another marriage that has been raised is to a Margaret Ewing. Old family records, and research of Randolf Caldwell both point to the marriage of Mary Ann Davies.

John Caldwell of Prince Edward would be the son of John Caldwell & Margaret Phillips. - John Caldwell


I am looking for John Caldwell of Prince Edward Co., VA who moved to Montgomery Co., TN and in my search have turned over many stones and thought someone may be interested in these snippets!

1. In a letter written by J. F. Caldwell of Lewisburgh, Virginia (marked Rec'd Feb. 14th 1831) "The following is the recollection of Joseph Caldwell now of Frederick County, Virginia, my father - [I am] J. F. Caldwell. Oliver my father married Ann daughter of John Caldwell his cousin in the county of Derry, Ireland. My father with his brothers, my uncles, David and Alexander, emigrated to and settled in Pennsylvania. James Caldwell, a delegate near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania was father's cousin. Mother had two brothers, John and Alexander Caldwell, they emigrated from Ireland and settled near Wilmington. John Caldwell of Prince Edward, Virginia was cousin of father, and had six sons, two of them Anthony and William went with me to the siege of Yorktown. Joseph Caldwell near Fort Pitt, Pennsylvania was my cousin, as were Joseph near Wheeling, Virginia who married a daughter of Mordicai Yarnell.

[JAC: "Our" Joseph could be the Joseph Caldwell near Fort Pitt - At the time of this letter, other counties and townships had begun. It stands to reason that this Joseph still referred to the area as "Fort Pitt" from early recollection, and still referred to the area as it was known to him in younger years. It is not likely that the author of this letter would know the transitions and new county and township names in PA as he was living in VA.]

Alexander Caldwell now Judge of the Federal Court, for the District of Western Virginia is a brother of the latter Joseph. George Caldwell, a relation, went to Kentucky, had 3 sons, Alexander one of them was killed by Indians. John Caldwell left Pennsylvania with my father and moved somewhere in Virginia, he was first cousin to my father, and brother to my mother. Elis Caldwell a cousin of my father killed ner Newbury Port, R. I. (I presume ) My father used to correspond with several relations of our name in Philadelphia one named Jacob and another William." The foregoing is sent at the request of J. F. Caldwell of the Post Office Department by his Friend.

2. A Petition of Sundry inhabitants of Prince Edward Co., VA, October 11, 1776 listed among others the following: Jno. Caldwell, Jno. Caldwell, Sr., Jno. Caldwell Jr., Jno Caldwell, David Caldwell, Thos. Caldwell, James Caldwell, and Geo. Caldwell.

I'm tearing my hair out and have been since 1968 about which John Caldwell from Prince Edward Co., VA is my line. To make things more interesting he also had a son, John Caldwell, among others. Cousinly regards, Susan Daniel (Murfreesboro, TN)

Recollections of Joseph
CALDWELL of Frederick, VA"

"Oliver, my father, married Ann, daughter of John CALDWELL, in Derney County in Ireland...another version says, Oliver CALDWELL, my father, married Ann, daughter John CALDWELL, his cousin, in County of Derry, Ireland.

Both versions in essence say "My father, with his brothers David and Alexander, emigrated and settled in Pennsylvania."

(a) version says, "James CALDWELL a delegate near Harrisburg Tn was my father's cousin." Both versions in essence say "Mother had two brothers, John and Alexander, who emigrated from Ireland and settled near Wilmington. John CALDWELL, of Prince Edward, was a cousin of my father; he had six sons; two of them, Anthony and William, went with me to the sieze of Yorktown."

(a) version says "Joseph CALDWELL, near Fort Pit, Penn., was my cousin, as was also Joseph, near Wheeling, VA, who married a dau of Mordacai ZANES, at Zanesville."

(a) version says "Alexander CALDWELL, now Judge of the Federal Court District of Wester VA is a bro. of the latter Joseph. George CALDWELL, a relative went to Kent (VA@f0-aep '99) and had 13 sons, one of them was killed by Indians."

(a) version says "Alexander CALDWELL was Judge of the Fereral Court for the western District of Virginia, and was brotyher of the latter Joseph. George CALDWELL, a relative, went to Kentucky (Ahh!), there had three sons; one of them, Alexander, was killed by the Indians."

(a) version says "John CALDWELL left tn. (town?) and moved somewhere to S.C. He was a first cousin to my father and brother to my mother. ELIAS (Eli?) CALDWELL a cousin of my father settled near Newberry Port, R.I. My father used to correspond with several relatives of our name in Philadelphia, one married Jacob and another William. The foregoing is sent at the request of J. F. CALDWELL of the Post Office Department by his friend. J. F. CALDWELL, Lewisburg, VA."

(a) version says "John CALDWELL left Pennsylvania, and married in South Carolina. ELIAS CALDWELL, a cousin of my father, settled near Newburyport, MASS." (ends here.)

Note from the organization ca 1991:

"Now it's obvious that these very different versions sprang from one actual letter. It would be much more valuable if we knew what JOSEPH really said. I expect that Joseph's middle initial was "F" and that the letter was to Josiah Flynt CALDWELL, the son of James and Hannah (OGDEN) CALDWELL, who worked for the Post Office, Department of Washington, D.C. She asks: "Do you suppose the Wilmington meant the city that is now in Delaware...or the one near the coast in N.C.?" Another comment from the editor: "John CALDWELL of Prince Edward, was a cousin of my father, he had six sons; two of them, Anthony and William, went with me to the siege of Yorktown" refers to the John CALDWELL who's (sic) wife was Jane KENNEDY.

Following is my version of family sheets for John and Anthony CALDWELL."
