Hello all still looking to get in touch with other living descendants of the Caldwells of Ulster and the Cub Creek Caldwell Descendants. John of Cub Creek and John+ Mary Sweetenham are direct ancestors of mine. Would love to chat with other caldwells and share information I can be emailed at Caldwellcameron654@gmail.com or found on Facebook under Cameron Lee Caldwell in Memphis, TN.
Hello family, I am a descendant of Capt John Caldwell of Cub Creek. For those asking about Castle Caldwell - if you are related to the Caldwells from Cub Creek then you are related to Castle Caldwell. It was bought by a James Caldwell (b 1634 Ireland) in 1670. His brother John was Capt John's grandfather. You can read about it here: https://cuilcaghlakelands.org/geosite/castle-caldwell-forest/#heritage
Very interested in this site, also have 4 of us to enter into the military notes.

Hello my name is Cameron Caldwell and I'm a direct descendant of the Ulster Caldwells and further back to King Henry III and Rollo the "Walker". SIR WILLIAM OF ELY aka Bruce Alexander Caldwell is my 12th Great Grandfather directly off my father's side. I have found alot of information articles photos and cross compared websites plus spoke to what little family I have left known and alive. I also have dna results coming in soon for my Ancestory.com and would love to learn more from other caldwells. Please contact me at my email and we can chat or talk on the phone if needed :).
I am looking for father of William Caldwell believed to be Seth Caldwell. William originated in Virginia and moved to Eastern KY where he lived until his death in 1832. He had a family in Virginia with his first wife Mary Clyborn whom he divorced and moved to KY to married the daughter of a Chippawau Indian believed to be Blackfox. Some suggest Seth is a descendant of the Caldwell's from Castle Caldwell but I have not been able to make that connection. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello all,
truly enjoyed reading and cross-referencing all the various family trees that lead to an exciting bit of history for the family name. My maternal grandfather (John Caldwell)/cncle John Caldwell are direct descendants of the Cub Creek Virginia/Donegal line.
Would love to see some of the gaps filled re: the family that stayed in Ireland post 1700s if anyone has more information there.
Honestly, I don't know much about the family prior to colonial times....
Also, I've had a real hard time nailing down the connection to Caldwell Castle 1670s-1850s (Caldwell Castle Forest) . I intend to visit with my brother/sister sometime next year to see it and some of the other sites. If anyone is still around UK, then would love a contact!

In 1840, only one family lived near Wilmington, DE that had children in the correct ranges. That was Joseph Coldwell.
Joseph Coldwell (New Castle / Wilmington, Delaware)
He at least had the children:
- John (b 1822)
- Marietta (b 1827)
- Eveline (b 1829)
- George (b 1831)
The origin of Berry in America started with the daughter Marietta.

This website is very insightful. So far ive drawn back to connections with a William (possible Guillaume Calwel) in France (1200s). Wondering if anyone has gone farther up to this. Many Johns and Josephs in the line too so hard to say which is my John and Joseph from your myths and legends.
I am the descendent of Rev. Dr. David Caldwell of North Carolina. I am looking for books and references to his children and hemself.
Hi, everyone. It has been over a year and a half since I have been on here and I wanted to update my research.
*Below is my previous post.* I am still looking for information on Daniel J. Caldwell.
I have found what I think to be Daniel's parents, John Caldwell b. 1761 d. 1850 in Appomattox, VA and Martha Patsy Fields b. 1765 d.1850. John and Martha were married Nov 12, 1802.
John's father is Samuel Caldwell. Martha's Mother is Marget Fields, her father may be Andrew Fields b. Jan 1751 d.1794 in Campbell, VA.
Thanks for any information you can share.
***Prior Message update Charles Woodson is Martha Woodson's father.***

I am still looking for more information on Daniel J. Caldwell b. 1808 Virginia. m. Martha Woodson 1830 Farmville, VA. m. Elizabeth (Rysinger) Starr 1842 in Floyd County, Indiana.
I am stuck at Daniel and cannot find anything more about Martha Woodson other than her and Daniel had 4 children, William Caldwell b. 1830 probably in Prince Edward County, VA. Daniel and Eizabeth's Family is well documented. Any help is welcome. Thanks.*
I would be happy to share any information I have.

Hello from Ohio, My Caldwell history started with my grand uncle Ernie Caldwell of Sangamon Co IL. His work was back in the days of snail mail. In my pursuit of extending his work, I have read extensively about Dr Charles Caldwell 1772 NC - 1853 Louisville KY. I was looking for mention of him on this website. He wrote an autobiography/book that was fascinating. He was an important person in history and he and his brothers all served in the Rev War. Because of his young age at the time, he states in his autobiography "too young for battle" and was a standard bearer. This Dr Charles Caldwell also wrote of an Uncle David who did extensive research on the family's history. I would love to know if anyone has access to his (David) findings. Perhaps I need to make a trip to Louisville. Also my father was a great musician in Chicago area, playing with Jimmy Blade's Orchestra at the Chicago Drake Hotel. I am in the process of typing up a timeline of his life. He grew up in a single parent home from age 3 and endured polio at age 16 during that epidemic. He successfully raised 7 children and played accordion from age 7 to age 88. I appreciate all the work on caldwellgenealogy.com.
Only just beginning to look into my family name, I am aged 83 and retired from work aged 80.
I have been a teacher (PE and Special Needs), a professional wrestler 1964-84). an author, a massage therapist and lecturer and progressing to college prinipal.
Married to Marie: four children andfibe grandchildren.
I live in Bury, Lancashire.

I recently tracked my genealogy back to Alexander Thomas Caldwell (1527-1603). I find this website very interesting. Thanks for doing it
A brief addendum to my last entry having just read the history of the Caldwell name...
Thank you to whoever has written the history of the Caldwell name. In fact, the history bears closely to my own understanding and apparent DNA links.
My paternal Caldwell grandfather's family is descended from Ireland. My maternal grandmother's Stamers family is also descended from Ireland. My brother's recent DNA results showed his DNA heritage from Ireland, Scotland and the northern European countries (Norway, Denmark, Netherlands). We were curious that between all our ancestors, the DNA was not farther spread. The nordic reference in the history on this site is in fact, quite consistent with our family lore (Scotland) and the DNA results. Fascinating.

Well, who knew? What a lovely, and somewhat amusing, surprise to find myself here today. I had no idea there were so many Caldwells, so far reaching, around our globe. Our family (another John and William Caldwell) hails from Caven, County Ireland but has only been traced as far back as just prior to the 1830's and the potato famines. The sons (John, William and ?) came to Canada and settled on the Ottawa river just northwest of Ottawa in Quebec. There are lots of us now all over Ottawa, Toronto, Barrie and parts between. I've done some research on the old family history but it seems that the records from the protestant Churches around Caven were lost in various church fires. I'm curious about the various Caldwell Castles and houses (one in Ireland, one in Scotland). The first Canadian generation of our family seemed to believe they were related to a lost estate and hired a lawyer in Ireland to try and find it. No luck due to the lack of records. Meanwhile, my great uncle informed me that our Caldwell family was believed to have originated from a Scottish tribe Kadwell (Cadwell?)and changed its name upon arrival in Ireland. Lots of lovely lore; a little thin on fact. But still delighted to find you all here. Best wishes from Canada.
Hello fellow Caldwells!
My name is Kristina and I was born with the last name Larson, but later learned my dad’s biological father was Richard Lee Caldwell (1945 - 2007). Anyone on here from that line?
I’m building out my family tree, and have it down to Jacques Caulwel (1495 - 1560), born in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France. Does this sound accurate? I’ve been using ancestry.
Thank you,
Kristina Wolf (Caldwell)

I have just read your entry for Hugh and Margery Scott Caldwell of Chestnut Level, Lancaster, PA and am disturbed that my ancestor, Hugh Alexander Caldwell, his wife Jane Boyd Caldwell, his son Samuel Caldwell, and his daughter Margery Caldwell, are missing or devoid of data. I am descended from both siblings.

Researching The Richey Family & came across this site. I am a descendant of Samuel Alexander Richey who was a brother-in-law of John Caldwell. They came to America in 1727 on the same ship & landed at Delaware 12/10/1727.
