I was very excited to find this page as I have done a tremendous amount of research on Ancestry.com, Geni.com, and Familysearch.com dating back to 1150. I'm sure everyone has run into inconsistencies in their tree, especially going back that far, but welcome anyone's help in keeping my research going and accurate.

My maiden name is Caldwell and I’ve traced my family back to those who resided in the Castle. I love the information and photos to learn more about my heritage.

I am attempting to make a connection from my GGGgrandfather James C. Caldwell born 1755 and migrated to America about that time to his relatives in Ireland or UK. According to a decedents memory of her grandfather story, the family left a foreign shore for America. All died except three little boys. Reportedly, James C. was taken in by a Quaker Family in Philadelphia, PA. He married Rebecca Brooks in Philadelphia on 12/21/1780. Moved to Redstone, PA, then to Elk Run, Ohio where he farmed and died. His first son was named Thomas, therefore it is my guess that his father was also named Thomas, which was customary for the Irish.

Hi. I am a direct descendant of Joseph Caldwell (Wheeling WVA). I am looking for relations who may have pieces of his silver tea service. DH

Am looking for the children of JAMES MARION CALDWELL born 17 December 1833, son of JAMES WILLIS CALDWELL and DICEY MANN CALDWELL. My grandmother was a Caldwell, born around 1910. Her father died very young when she was just a little girl and I believe his name was Robert Lee Caldwell but this could be wrong. In any case I think that JAMES MARION was his father or grandfather. JAMES MARION (according to my mother, was in Hood’s 4th infantry regiment and taken prisoner at Gettysburg). My mother did quite a bit of research but never got it collated before she passed away. I have all her notes but it is in one of several large tubs that are too heavy for me to lift by myself. Hope to start digging through this coming winter.

My great great grandfather was a Caldwell and he was born in Lancashire around 1819. Having trouble finding any information about my Caldwells. His documentation is sparse.

Born in Glasgow in 1948, live in London, doing family history research.
I will get back to you all with info I have tracked down.
a. David Caldwell was my grandmothers father / she was born in 1873 in Glasgow.
b. Have you filed the Wikipedia article re CALDWELL, East Renfrewshire.
c. Have you entered into your Military History THOMAS CALDWELL (VC) in Wikipedia
d. You may wish to look at the National Museum of Rural Life at West Kittochside not far from Glasgow. The farm was donated after about 400 years of ownership by REID family and in the details,it mentions fights between REID and CALDWELL families!

baptism records at Londonderry Cathedral, have a distinct set of children to those listed in John of enniskillens Funeral Entry.

Hello Caldwell
My Caldwell ancestors are from Ontario Canada as far as I have researched. My verbal history was that there were 3 chiefs of the Caldwell First Nation, Madwayosh, Quenesis and Robert. They were my 5th, 4th and 3rd great grandfathers. If anyone has information on any of these or Sheldon Caldwells in their history I would really like to hear from you. Thank you.

I have a tiny colored glass, about 2 inches tall. The name engraved on it is:
Willard Caldwell Hinton, W. VA. 1909
My grandfather , Lawrence C. Powell, was born around 1984. He was a revenuer and raided stills up in E KY. I have a photo of him with what I think are other revenuers up in Pike Co, KY. I am guessing this is connected to Willard Caldwell. I can\'t imagine where Grandpa got a little glass like that. It is cut glass at the bottom and wine-colored scallps at the top. It looks like a shot-glass, come to think of it!

Hi there,

I have a Mary Caldwell of Ballyboggan, Lifford, Co. Donegal, Ireland who was born c. 1767. She married Alexander Henry McClintock (1764-1815) in 1791.

They only had one surviving child, Dorothea McClintock, 1795-1877. She married Rev. Robert Alexander, 1795-1872. One of their sons was the Most Rev. Sir William Alexander, Primate of All Ireland. His wife was Cecil Frances Humphreys (Mrs CF Alexander) who wrote \"All Things Bright & Beautiful\"

I wondered if you could tell me who her parents were and, if possible, her dates of birth & death.

Regards, Sylvia, Surrey, UK

My great grandfather, John Wade Caldwell b. 9/8/1853, d. 11/12/1928 moved from North Carolina to Texas. He is a descendant of James Caldwell, who lived in Lincoln County, North Carolins during the 1832 census records.
There has also been a genealogy of James Caldwell written by Ray Von Caldwell and printed in 1968.

Cameron Caldwell wrote on January 29, 2020 at 3:37 pm

Can anyone help me verify a few ancestors as I haven\'t been able to thus far. James Caldwell 1755-1813 married to Mary Elizabeth Forrest Caldwell. They had a son, Robert Caldwell 1784-1855. His wife Jeanetta McLees Caldwell 1784-1841. I\'m trying to verify Robert is the son of James and Mary. Also trying to verify Robert married Jeanetta McLees. All my research has not turned up much with definitive documentation. Thanks for any help.
