The will of Andrew Caldwell from Ireland is set forth verbatim in a book available through Interlibrary Loan: "David Caldwell", by Ethel Stephens Arnett, 1976. She used a comparison of the wills of the two Andrew Caldwells residing in Lancaster, PA, to show which was the parent of the Rev. David Caldwell, D.D., 1725-1824. I do not recall whether that will identifies any of his children.

There might be a possibility that this Andrew Caldwell or his ancestors emigrated from Scotland to Ireland before emigrating to America. This would make him Scot-Irish.

You might check to see if there is any relationship between your Andrew Caldwell and Alexander Caldwell or Cauldwell, born 1558, in Ayrshire, Scotland, and his brothers, Oliver and James Cauldwell or Caldwell.

If your Andrew Caldwell or his parents, were Presbyterians, they would have been possibly subjected to persecution by persons supporting the Church of England. Any such persecution at the time of Andrew's migration to America may have been a primary motivation for his emigration to America.

The Lancaster Historical Society and local library has numerous periodicals with references to Andrew Caldwell.

Scots Origins is the official Scottish Governmental source of genealogical data for Scotland. It is an online "pay-per-view" database of indexes from the genealogical records of the General Register Office for Scotland - the GRO(S). It costs £6 (sterling) for 30 "page credits". Each page consists of a maximum of 15 search results. The initial 30 page credits are valid for 24 hours from the time of payment (ie the clock starts when you pay). Further credits can be bought in 30 page increments for a further £6 charge each time. Each further purchase restarts your 24 hour user period from the time of payment.

The Lancaster County Historical Society has information.

Published since 1897 as Papers Read Before The Lancaster County Historical Society, the publication became in 1957 the Journal of the Lancaster County Historical Society, published quarterly. The articles are intended for the serious researcher as well as for the general reader. A $30 annual membership in the Lancaster County Historical Society includes each Journal published during your membership year. Membership for college students is $5 per semester.

I am looking for ancetry of Andrew Caldwell and his wife, Martha Caldwell (maiden name unknown), who emigrated from Scotland to what is now Lancaster County, PA at sometime around or before 1724/25. They sometimes are confused with Andrew Caldwell and his wife Ann Stewart, who emigrated from Ireland and resided in Lancaster County, PA in the early 1700's.

Children of Andrew and Martha Caldwell were:

1. Alexander Caldwell.

2. Andrew Caldwell. I have read on the Internet that he was born about 1734 in Scotland. He died on March 11, 1808 in Lancaster Co, Pa. Andrew was a 'courtmartial man' in the Lancaster Co. Militia, 2nd Battalion, 7th Company in the Revolutionary War.

3. David Caldwell. His birthdate is March 22, 1724/25. He was born in Lancaster Co, Pa. He died on August 25,1824 in Guilford Co, NC. The site of his log cabin school is a registered historical site. He is the only Caldwell about whom a biography has been published. He is best known for the role he played in educating students from all over the South, many of whom who went on to become ministers, physicians, Congressman, Senators, and governors. I understand that the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution has a North Carolina chapter named after his wife, Rachel Craighead. Her father and grandfather were prominent Presbysterian ministers in Mecklenburg County, NC. During the Revolution, she attended many of the wounded.

4. John Caldwell was born about 1736 in Lancaster Co, Pa. He died on 2 Jun 1812 in Lancaster Co, Pa. John served as First Captain of the Lancaster County Militia 6th Batallion during the Revolutionary War.

I can trace my ancestry from Rev. David Caldwell and his wife, Rachel Caldwell, through one of their children, Rev. Samuel Craighead Caldwell, and grandchild, Rev. Thomas Parsons Caldwell, up to the present.

So far I have not had any luck tracing the ancestry of Andrew Caldwell and where in Scotland he grew up and married. I would greatly appreciate any information you might have as to Andrew and Martha Caldwell.

I understand that there has been a Caldwell clan located in Refrewshire, Scotland, located in the Clyde Valley, southwest of Glasgow, since the 14th century. There is a possibility of a relationship to descendants of the brothers Alexander Caldwell [sic] (b. 1558, Ayewshire, Scotland), John Cauldwell, and Oliver Cauldwell of Scotland. During the lifetime of Mary, Queen of Scots, one of the Scottish noblemen was Lord Caldwell, and perhaps I am related to him or one of his tenant farmers who assumed his last name.
