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.

I recently tracked my genealogy back to Alexander Thomas Caldwell (1527-1603). I find this website very interesting. Thanks for doing it

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.

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.

Looking for Anna/Annie Caldwell born 1762 in colonial Virginia died in buncombe county, North Carolina in 1863. Was married to a scot William hunter. I keep finding she was child of David and Rachel Caldwell, but they didn’t have a daughter Anna. Any ideas?

This is Tom Caldwell in Australia. A new administrator. Just feeling my way for the moment - hoping to work out how to manage the site soon.

The site has lost its ‘old hands’ who made it very lively and useful so many years ago.

I hope to help John stimulate new contributors.

It is always better to help by contributing.

Dear madam or sir,

Have you ever considered the name Coutwel in the Netherlands could be of the same origin? It is a very uncommon, rare surname, which was found in the province of Zeeland, at least in the 16th century. The Scotts came to Zeeland to trade those days. In Veere we have the Scottish house and there is a Dutch-Scottish society on the history.

Best regards,

Ruben Koman

I am hoping to learn more about my Scottish ancestry. My great great grandfather William James Caldwell was born 1841 in Cape Town, South Africa and he married Mary Ann Jane Baker in 1877. His parents immigrated from Renfrew Scotland to South Africa sometime between 1820 or 1840 and I wish to know more about them. William James Caldwell had 12 children. One of his sons were Lawrence Edwin Warren Caldwell (my great grandfather) and he had a son named Bert Lawrence Caldwell (my grandfather) and he then had a son which is my father Gerald Caldwell.

ancestors: Guillaume William Calwel
Guillame De Calwel, Guillame Calwel III, Jaques Calwel, William Guillame Calwel, William Guillame Calwel II, William Alexander Caldwell, Lady Elizabeth Wallace of Ayrshire Renifshire Scotland, Alexander T. Caldwell, Jean Caldwell, Henri Al Calwel, Robert Calwel

This site is excellent. Thank you for your hard work. I am researching Margaret Caldwell of Ayr, Ayrshire. I believe she is my 6th great grandmother. Her father, John, witnessed my 6th great grandfather's baptism. His name was Alexander McCulloch. He married a woman named Alexander. Clearly his father, Thomas, and John Caldwell were close. Each were burgess merchants and baptized their children in the same church (St. John the Baptist Church, Ayr). My line passed through Lancaster County, where other Caldwells apparently moved to also. I will spend more time on this site. Also, I would be grateful for any insights about John Caldwell from Ayr who married Jean Rodger (apparently from Kilmarnock).

Through the Family Search.org database, I trace lineage to a Sir James Caldwell, IV 4th Baronet
1692 – 1746

Is this webpage for this line of Caldwells?

I'm trying to figure out if this is the same Caulwel (Caldwell) family in my tree.

My 12th GGM was Marguerite Caulwel who married into the Veeder family. Their son Foulque Feder Veeder (1550-1632) was my 11th GGF. 4 generations later the Veeder family married into the Van Antwerp family in NY.

I believe Marguerite's was the daughter of Sir Jean Caulwel who was the son of Lord Jacques Caldwell II (1473-1531).

Does this sound right at all? Thank you.

I was a Caldwell family researcher for a number of years. Even had a Caldwell website that was doing quite well. Then we were out of the country for a couple of years and the web host where we had our information (geocities) went defunct while we were away. But I had always (and somewhat stubbornly) adhered to the idea that all of the wonderful Caldwells out there came from the same origins. I really wanted us all to be related! Newer research, however (such as the extensive work posted here), pretty strongly suggests otherwise. In addition, I have had my DNA tested and have never been matched to some of the other Caldwell lines which can be found on various web sites. One in particular (i.e. John Caldwell and Margaret Phillips) was one I had hoped to connect with at some point. That line has extensive history posted and traces further back than my line, which dead ends in Ireland in 1749. So, I must reluctantly accept that it is likely that we do not all come from the same origin (though I would still claim all of you as family, just because!).

Came across that Rebecca Caldwell is my 8th Grandmother and her daughter, Lucy, married Amos Richardson. Does the reunion Rebecca wanted still occur at the family cemetery?

looking for information for Alexander Caldwell (b abt 1750) who married Ester Rush.
We have the Deed with Robert Caldwell selling land that was given to him by his father Alexander Caldwell. We have the Luke Bible, that was William's with Robert John and William's births. Can we assume that they were brothers? If so no name of Alexander is in the bible. I have the will of Robert Rush naming Ester Rush and husband Alexander Caldwell. But nothing else!
any help would be a treasure! email

Regarding my post of earlier today regarding Paul Caldwell and wife Catherine Thumm, records suggest that Paul's father and grandfather are William Thomas Caldwell, b 1762, and Robert Caldwell Sr., b 1732. However not all records I have looked at - Ancestry, MyHeritage, ... are consistent.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

My father, Lyle Dean Caldwell looked very much like previous descriptions as found if the Caldwell lineage.
He was large in stature, tall, dark skin, beautiful dark eyes, high cheek bones and rolling forehead. Many of the Caldwell traits I find in myself very talkative, generous to a fault though I am fair haired and lighter skin however my older sister is reflection of my father.
I live across the street from the old Caldwell Estate that was built near the Fort and across the street from Fort Scott Founders mansion.
My sister, Rebecca Caldwell now owns the original home that was once owned by Fort Scott founder.
Lyle Dean and Doris K Caldwell, Fort Scott residents had 5 daughters of which three remain all residing in Fort Scott Kansas

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

I am looking for any of my grandmother\'s family her name was Mildred Marie Caldwell.She was born in Missouri. She was the oldest daughter of 13 children.

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!

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.

Searching ancestor John Beard Caldwell\'s predecessors.

Greetings from New Hampshire! Alexander is MY GUY!

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.

Thanks to Ancestry.com I can trace my lineage to Hugh Caldwell listed on rental roles in Louden County. I am doing further research with the Thomas Balch Genealogy Library (Loudon County) located in Leesburfg, VA.

Hi, Kevin Thomas Caldwell (western NC / USA) looking for the Caldwell line and hopefully relatives near & far. I have zero geneo experience til yesterday and have been on ancestry but am a bit confused. Hoping to find some Caldwells (and help).

Father / grandfather listing so far (all Caldwell) is John Knott / John French / Noah Lee / Rufus (no middle) / James Harvey / William C / John F. / Captain John F / Sir David / John Joseph / John / William Cauldwell (before the \"u\" was dropped out) and maybe this is too much info but wanted to put these all in case anyone\'s looking and might have some help.

I used to have a Caldwell page on Rootsweb going back to the 1100s.
My directs landed in the Port of Delaware in 1727 and headed to Amish lands before deciding to relocate in Lunenburg, Va.

As for the myths, they are all pretty much true, but not the way the scamming grifter Anjou said.

1) Barbarossa - was not the pirate, but Federick I. The brothers that went with Barbarossa, did so on the 3rd Crusade. The \'3 ships\' were not pirate ships, but \"Ships of State\" as Federick I (Barbarossa), Philip II (Philip Augustus) and Richard I (Richard the Lionheart)set out under their respective flags (ship of state) to take control of the Holy Lands.

This is a very big part of the story as the Caldwells were I believe from the Würzburg area of Germany (kalte quelle or cold source Roman bath area) and belonged to the Welf family. The Welfs and the Hohenstaufens were combined by marriage, but the Welf clan didn\'t like it and tried to assassinate Federick I\'s father (Frederick II) before the wedding. These \'family members\' were not killed as a tribute to bride Judith (of the Welfs), and instead were exiled. I believe these Caldwell ancestors ended up at a Caldwell settlement that suddenly appeared at this time between Worcester and Birmingham England. The 3 \'Caldwell\' brothers most likely joined the exiled family members after Federick I died on the Third Crusade. They being most likely younger and were conscripted (stripped from their family of would be assassins) for service instead of being immediately exiled.

2) Ann of Caldwell and Oliver Cromwell - there is a record of one Ann (of that Caldwell settlement near Birmingham) and Thomas Cromwell giving birth to either Cromwell\'s grandfather or grand-uncle. This may have been the \'illegitimate birth\' as they don\'t seem to have been married yet. There is a possibility that the son from Oliver\'s Great-grandfather died and to make the ilegit legit, he adopted (switched out) his brother\'s son for his own dead one, thus making Ann of Caldwell the grandmother of Oliver Cromwell. The interesting thing here is that post the birth record for Ann (with the ilegit kid), there is a marriage registered for her and Thomas in Birmingham (with no kid) prior to their departure for the new world, where they are registered again to be married yet again in Boston after arrival (yes people, there were settlements/cities in the new lands before the Pilgrims).

Flowing from this Birmingham phase of Caldwell exile/expansion/settling is where the family seems to have migrated in two groups (oneth by sea and oneth by land) north to the Scotch-Irish area leading to two major different spellings of the name. One with the \'d\' and the other without, with the vowell aspect taking on local variations of \'al\', \'ol\', \'aul\', etc.

The first mention of \"Cald-wels\" (interesting spelling for the time) in Scotland is via Tim Pont\'s maps from the end of the 1500s to early 1600s. That is also the time around when the Caldwell Tower in Scotland was built.

I joined ancestry.com and I am a descendant of the line of Caldwell\'s from Scotland and then Ireland. I am from the line of Caldwell\'s that inhabited Castle Caldwell in Ireland. Curious if anyone else on here is and where you live now.

I\'m looking for photographs of William Lowndes Calhoun, the youngest son of John Caldwell Calhoun, seventh vice President of the United States. I\'ve seen one attributed daguerreotype of this man, but would like to see other representations. I would be grateful for any leads. Thanks in advance! K.

I am a descendant of the Caldwells--My great grandfather was Jonas Caldwell of Ravenna Kentucky. I have 2 questions/comments. We descend from Sir James of Caldwell Castle in Fermanagh in Northern Ireland I\'m assuming@f2 My cousin traveled there last year to visit. Second-- I saw a story re the myth that we were related in some way to Jesse James? He shows up on my National Geographic DNA list as a maternal match, The Caldwells are on my Maternal side--- so maybe not a myth after all?

So let me ask you this, in your piece on Monnette, what evidence do you have that Orra Monnette ever sold his services as a professional genealogist?
 
JAC: I never suggested that Monnette sold anything.  As mentioned, Anjou was known to charge as much as $9,000.  As to Monnette, among others, as also mentioned, the July 1976 edition of the American Genealogist stated that Monnette and the others, "are so unreliable that nothing they say should be accepted without clear and unmistakable verification" 

Enjoyed reading through the site. Mother\'s maiden name is Caldwell, descended from William Dwight Caldwell.

Enjoy reading the site! I was born and raised in Memphis Tn. My grandfather was John Caldwell in Milan TN. I now live in Colorado with my two boys, West William Caldwell and Levi Edward Caldwell.

Robert Caldwell b. 1775, d. b4 1857 married to Mary Cochran. Looking for Robert\'s parents

My maternal grandfather is a Caldwell. He played a vital role in my life and I have always been interested in his Scottish/English heritage. Thanks for your efforts in researching the family name. God Bless

Hi -- In reference to your Robert Caldwell married to Mary Logan.

Just in response to your note on your record. Robert Alexander Caldwell Of Londonderry born 7/21/1721 died 10/1799 in Alexandria PA) ALSO married a Mary Logan (born 1730 in Londonderry - died 7/7/1799 in Alexandria PA) so they are NOT the same person, just same basic names - it\'s a whole other branch. They settled Juanita Valley and have tons of documentation in books and in the DAR etc. It might be fun to add this line into your records - in your copious spare time 😉

Robert Alexander Caldwell is one of my gggggggrandfathers and one of the GAZILLION Ulster Scots I have in my family, making me a Daughter of the American Revelation an absolutely ridiculous number of times. They really stuck together when they came to the US -- and Wow the Ulster Scots HATED the British. AND my family passed down the stories -- I was shocked at doing research based on my grandmother\'s stories -- and they were all true -- hundreds of year of grudges and now I know the origins - HAHAHAHA! I love my family I must say, and hope all Caldwells who visit find the same links to their history and all the strength and love and best wishes sent down the generations too!!

Hi - hoping I can find some help. My third great grandmother was Eleanor \"Ellen\" Caldwell. Family records have her birth as 1826 in Ohio. She married Milton Sutton on April 25, 1843 in Portage County, Ohio. The wedding was witnessed by Robert Caldwell. She had two sons, James Oliver and Franklin Augustus Sutton before she died in 1851 at the young age of 25. She is buried in the Mottown Cemetery in Deerfield Township, Portage County, Ohio.

I have done research on Ancestry.com but have not found any likely families yet that she could have belonged to. I don\'t have any proof that she was born in Ohio either.
Thanks for any help. Kim

9th Great Grandfather John came into Somerset County, Maryland Colony, in 1683 from Ballybogan, Clonleigh Parrish, County Donegal. He purchased two tracts of land which he named Ballybogan and Clonleigh. His son John is considered the founder of Salisbury, MD, and was cited in a study of early Maryland Colony representatives to government of Lord Charles Calvert. In that study the father was said to be born in Londonderry and a date was given. Londonderry Cathedral\'s records list a baby named John born that day to William Caldwell and Elizabeth Huston.
William was the first born son of John Caldwell and Mary Sweetenham.

My 5th great grandfather sold 200 acres in Salisbury (inherited from father William) and brought his family down to Green County, Georgia,
after service in the Revolution. My 3rd came over with his family to
Alabama in 1850. He entered service in Memphis in the Civil War in 1861,was wounded at the Battle of Resaca and died at the hospital in
Rome, GA in 1864.

My family has lived in the same area of East Alabama since 1850.

Hi, Enjoyed reading some of the articles on here. One of my ancestors Thomas Pollock married Elizabeth Caldwell who\'s father was John Caldwell of Lochside, Lochwinnoch. I don\'t know if they are related to any of the people on this site.

Thais is what I have...

William Caldwell 1742-1801
William Jr.1785-1838
Thomas Jefferson Caldwell 1816-1882
Eli Hugh Caldwell 1846-1897

Hello From Texas

thank you for all the info, very interesting and fun to read

Maiden name Caldwell. Have info. Can’t get past James and Rebecca.

I descend from Caldwell\'s in Arkansas / Tennessee / Missouri and am thrilled to find this site after running in to the myths and feeling like they couldn\'t possibly be true. My father always said we were Scots Irish and the whole French thing doesn\'t even comport with my DNA! Looking forward to digging deeper.

Related through DNA with Seth Caldwell born in Castle Caldwell, Fermenaugh Northern Ireland. Died on Loughtoun County VA

Hello Everyone! What a fun site. I\'m a 9x great granddaughter of John Caldwell and Mary Swetenham. My branch comes to America through their great grandson Samuel Caldwell and his son Hugh Caldwell Sr. who left Ireland around 1741/42 (I think...I\'m still trying to find a good citation for that date)and settled in Lancaster and Clearfield counties in Pennsylvania. I started researching my ancestry about a year ago to see if I could debunk a family story that I\'m related to Henry VIII (through a maternal branch that married into the Caldwells) and this site is one of the first I stumbled across. I\'m having so much fun learning about our ancestors and the role they\'ve played throughout history. I found Kings, Queens, Crusaders, Vikings, Visigoths, Archbishops, Knights Templar, Scottish rebels, American Patriots, and Oregon pioneers. We have much to be proud of in our Caldwell heritage!!

Right now I\'m digging into the PA Caldwells and associated families during and immediately after the Revolutionary War. I\'m hitting a brick wall in regards to the family of Jane Boyd who married Hugh Caldwell Jr. in Martic Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1783. Most of what\'s floating around on the internet shows her parents are from Virginia and it just doesn\'t make sense to me. I\'ve spent weeks trying to find a connection between the VA Boyds and the PA Boyds and I just can\'t find anything. If anybody has any information on these families I would really love your help!

Trying to find information on family of origin and ancesters of Peggy Caldwell, who married George McGaham, aka McGaughan in Wayne County, Kentucky October 9, 1801. I am a descendant of this Peggy Caldwell & have been unable to trace this line.

I am a direct descendant of Captain Alexander Caldwell, I (1710-1766) and Margaret Caldwell McGregor (1709-1791). Alexander came across from Ireland in the era of the potato famine and settled in the Dunbarton / Litchfield area of New Hampshire. My branch of the Caldwell\'s are from the northeastern Massachusetts area and I am currently residing in southern California.

Very interesting reading.

Interested in Archie Samuel Kennedy and Alice Zimmer; my maternal grandparents. I can add their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc if you are interested.

To Angela Bernard and Kelli Watkins - I am the author of the Henry III article within this website. To Kelli - Joseph was the great grandson of William and Joseph is a royal descendant per my article. To Angela - There were no Richards in the Scottish monarchy, there were Roberts - Robert the Bruce, Robert II (grandson of the Bruce) and Robert III followed by the James 1-6 with Mary Stuart in there being mother of James VI. Is Elizabeth Wallace, wife of William Caldwell, related to Sir William Wallace Lord Protector of Scotland (braveheart)? Yes! Recently confirmed by the royal genealogical society\'s of both Britain and Scotland, I have the names and dates of the ancestors, it fills a full page single line spaced, 13 generations. Sir William Wallace was not of any royal descent. The daughter of Sir William Wallace and Marion Bradfute (forget what you saw in the movie), Elizabeth, married Sir William Balliol, 2nd Laird of Hoprig of which both the Balliol\'s and Bruce\'s were of direct lineage to the earlier Kings of Scotland. BUT ALSO!!! In my article you will see our direct lineage to the FitzAlan\'s of England. The ancestors of the FitzAlans include an uncle that became the first Steward to Scotland under David I who then took the surname Stewart. Robert II and all subsequent monarchs of Scotland thru James VI are Stewart\'s and are our cousins, in fact the grandmother of Robert the Bruce on his mother\'s side was also a Stewart. Going back even further, thru our grandfather Henry III of England to Henry I (England), Henry I was married to Matilda of Scotland, daughter of Malcolm III and Saint Margaret of Scotland making these monarchs our grandparents thus firmly establishing our relationship to the Scottish monarchy including the Bruce\'s and Balliol\'s. In fact, Robert I, Robert II, James I, James II, James V and James VI (who became James I of England) are what I call double cousins; we are related to both their father and mother. If you go back far enough I believe you would eventually find a double kinship to James III and IV thru our French grandfather Louis VIII. As I stated in my article, thru our grandfather Henry III and grandmother Eleanor of Provence, and (although not in the article) our grandfather (and Uncle) Edward I and grandmother Eleanor of Castile, we have direct blood relationships (meaning grandparents, aunts and uncles) to more royals, Earls, Lords, Saints, Archbishops, and even a Pope (Callixtus II) than I could begin to list here, with a half dozen separate lines back to Charlemagne. Throw in cousins and the number would be in the thousands including Presidents Washington, Polk and Taylor, Winston Churchill, the Spencer\'s (which makes the future King of England William a double cousin), the Middleton\'s (making the third generation future King George a double cousin as well). We have a very unique heritage thru the Plantagenet, FitzAlan, Capet and DeBohun families. The English marriage intertwining is sad, the French is even worse. Start with my article on our relationship to Henry III and go from there, you can spend weeks on the internet reading about your ancestors and their place in history. Sincerely, Mike Caldwell 10th great grandson of John Caldwell and Mary Swetenham

Greetings from Gore N.Z.

Looking for CALDWELL family members connected to John CALDWELL b.1790 at St. Quivox and moved to Galston where he was married to Mary MORTON in 1802 and after her death then to Agnes McCLANNACHAN in 1815.

Regards
Bruce Cavanagh

My father arrived in America from Galston Scotland. His name was William Caldwell. He changed his name when he arrived to William Caldwell Sharpe. He arrived in the late 19th century. He eventually became an auditor for the United Mine Workers. He lived in Central Illinois, Decatur and Taylorville. He also lived in Iowa.

He married Janet Patterson Greene Wilson in America. She was born in Glascow.

Looking for descendants of Ferguson Caldwell

How can I find out more info if I am linked to anyone here?

Just stumbled upon your site. Lovely to see more info on the family. I follow the direct US line from John Caldwell 1624-1692 (and Sarah Dillingham 1624-1722). I am in the process of slowly sifting through generations of records and artifacts and organizing all. Records include family tree info going back to the 1300-1400s in England and Scotland for some lines. Most of the Caldwell rcords and artifacts date from the 1700s and 1800s related to the Captains (Eben, Ebenezer, Eben and Albert Henry). Though I do also have the diary of Ebens daughter while crossing the Atlantic with her father on a trip to England (lovely early view of the sailing by a young woman which I am in the process of transcribing) and also John Caldwell’s cane as one of the earlier artifacts. Once done with full review will be publishing parts and then deciding where to leave the lot, as I am the end of the direct line (all will be going to a museum most likely in MA possibly in Ipswich). It will be awhile (most likely a few years) getting through all but if anyone has questions regarding lines in the US or prior, where they have missing or incomplete data feel free to send me your questions and I will keep my eyes out for such as I review. Note: I did see reference on one record of a possible early clan settlement site off of Routen Burn (water). Does anyone else have mention of this?

My grandfather was John Doke Caldwell, deceased in Cleburne, Texas in 1950. Born around 1880, possibly in Missippi? Siblings unknown.

Love this site. So I\'m not the only Caldwell with pride...lol 42, from NH.

Love the site!!

My mother is a Caldwell. Her father was Harvey Caldwell. His parents were Frank Caldwell and Ella Lewina Doshier.

Father (whom I have never met) was Winfred Caldwell of WV. Mother was Shirley Sicard of Florence, MA.

My grandmother is Bettie Jane Caldwell, and her mother was a Fraser. I have heard many oral histories of the Caldwell\'s through her; one being that our ancestors fled Marseille to Scotland in the 12th or 13th century, and then our Caldwell family moved again from Scotland to Ireland, from whence they came to the United States. My grandmother was raised in the mountains between North Carolina and Tennessee.

I have years of research tracing my lineage centuries that I would like to provide. Who should I get in contact with to share this information?

Sincerely,
TJCaldwell

I do not have a website. I have put my family tree in Ancestry.com and my Heritage. I also see a name who I believe to be my cousin, Plunkett Caldwell. Plunkett is her married name and Caldwell is her Mothers name as it is my mothers name also.

John Rogers 1825 letter states that his mother Margaret Caldwell 1st married William Rogers and after he died in October 1750 she married my ancestor James Mitchell with whom she had 5 children. The marriage to James Mitchell was probably 1751 with a first child born in 1752. If Margaret Caldwell was born in 1712, then she would have turned 45 in 1747 and would have had a significant decrease in conception due to menopause. Having 5 Mitchell children between 1752 and and 1757 calculates to a child born every 15 months.

A WikiPedia web page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_and_female_fertility ) shows the decline in female fertility over time and by age 45 it\'s down to 3%. I really question the 1712 birth year for Margaret Caldwell who married William Rogers 1st and James Mitchell 2nd.

I dont believe I have commented here before but I will now. I see that you have failed to include the fact that David Caldwell- my 7th Great Grandfather- was a slave owner. He was a prominent man with what would have been considered wealth and like so many \"good reverends\" he used human beings to attain his riches. Why not state the facts? I am personally not proud of these grandparents of mine- David & Rachel .

Thank you for providing this fascinating and well-designed website. I\'m interested in knowing who the first person bearing the surnames Caldwell was@f3 And what primary source is this information in@f4 If anyone out there knows, please let me know.

I am a Caldwell & proud of my heritage. I tried to sign up for the discussion forum, but it wouldn\'t let me. Thank you for creating a website all about our amazing name & heritage.

Greetings from Fort Worth, Texas.

Just this morning, I reached your website during a search for David Caldwell\'s story. I am researching and writing the history (for a book) of our local First Presbyterian Church. One of its early ministers was William Doby (spelled, by some sources, Dobie) Caldwell, a descendant of the David of Log College fame.

Fort Worth\'s first Cumberland Presbyterian Church also called a minister surnamed Caldwell: Joseph Weisinger Caldwell. I have not finished tracing his line (because genealogy and history are inseparable), but he came from a Caldwell family associated with a church on Cub Creek in Virginia, and he was related to John Caldwell Calhoun of South Carolina.

I believe that Caldwell was a fairly common name among Scots-Irish immigrants. Since I have come this far with both the Presbyterian (Southern, PCUS) William Doby Caldwell (1865-1915) and the Cumberland Presbyterian Joseph Weisinger Caldwell (1860-1946), I am hoping you might be able to help me determine whether they had common ancestors.

May we correspond? I would be glad to share details of the two Caldwell ministers\' lives and careers. Both clergymen came to this city with impressive academic credentials.

May we correspond@f2

Thanks,
Juliet

In doing research came across this site. Very interesting and informative. Would appreciate the keeper of this guestbook to let me know if this is active and how I can join the conversation to determine where my family is located in the great Caldwell clan. Thank you.

Greetings. I have been in touch with John Caldwell in the past, who maintains or did maintain this site. We have now placed all our Caldwell relatives on another site, wikitree.com Check the following Descendency link to see our line. We are particularly interested in any info on Henry and Margaret Caldwell of Clady, Ardstaw Parish, Co. Tyrone, my gg grandparents, who were born in Co. Tyrone, but emigrated to Canada and are buried at Iroquois, ON. Any info about them or their forebears would be of tremendous interest. My mother was a Caldwell, hence the interest. Thank you so much.

WTF! i\'m answering the correct letters and it still won\'t let me in. This is fucking ridiculous.

I read with interest the myths and legends. While I cannot confirm that this particular marker comes from the Caldwell, I share the rare T12 gene with Jesse James mother. I am descended from John and Mary Sweeten ham Caldwell of Lifford, Ballybogan, County Donegal,Republic of Ireland.

MY FATHER WAS FRANKLIN CALDWELL SR.
HIS FATHER WAS JOHN GILMER \"DOC\" CALDWELL
HIS FATHER WAS SAMUEL
HIS FATHER WAS GEORGE
HIS FATHER WAS DICKSON
HIS FATHER WAS ROBERT JR. FROM ANTRIM IN NORTHERN IRELAND WHO MOVED TO CHARLESTON IN DEC. 1772

I am seeking information on the Reverend Hugh Caldwell d1789 NewtownArds, Down and married Anne Winder, d of Reverend Peter Winder & Anne Courtenay. I have 2 sons Samuel Hercules Rowley Caldwell Rev Dr & George Macartney Caldwell Dr m. Mary Cook. It is their father Hugh\'s parents I am interested in finding more about. I am on Ancestry.co.uk under garyvincentwinder. Any help is appreciated.

Joseph and Letitia (Britton) McCutchen had a daughter, Mary Elizabeth b.3/5/1828, d.12/20/1908 (m.1st to Frederic S. Anderson, m. 2nd to William Marlow. She is buried in Russell Cemetery, Winneshiek County, IA. The Marlow\'s had 4 children, including my great grandmother, Estella Anna Marlow,b.1866, d. 1933, m. Anton Arneson

Just thought you\'d like to know because I\'ve seen different trees showing no children - thought I\'d set the record straight.

hi all looking for any info about any caldwells from Dublin Ireland 1860,sonwards
thanks in advance

I enjoyed reading the Caldwell family history very much on your site. Well done, I must say. I surfed in looking for some history of my Pool(Pettypool)family of Fairfield, South Carolina. The Pool, Caldwell,Pannel, Grubbs and others moved together in group and settled in Pontotoc cty. Mississippi around 1840. Thanks for sharing your research with so many.

Signing on again after an absence of some years. I\'m always searching for those connected to my great-great grandfather, Robert H. Caldwell, (b. ca 1815 - d. 1876) of County Tyrone. He was a shoemaker and a Presbyterian who married Mary Moore. In the early 1840s, they emigrated to Ontario, Canada, eventually settling in Grey County. One of their daughters, Catherine, married Lyman Smith in Buffalo, where they raised a large family.

Their son, William Robert (b. Co Tyrone 1836 - d. 1883 Durham, Ontario) was my great-grandfather. He served in the 100th Regiment of Foot and was stationed on Malta. He married a Cashel Co. Tipperary woman, Margaret Burke/Birch in Ottawa, 1867. They had 2 sons and 5 daughters.

DNA testing has helped in my research. So far, the only revelation has been a connection to three of the descendants of John Caldwell Calhoun, U.S. Vice-President during pre-Civil War times. We have done the BigY test and are enrolled in the McCarthy South of Ireland group.

Happy researching to all!

Hello, my grandfather is Bob Caldwell of Harlen, Ky. He was murdered by Grant Gross and Roy Slusher. Sometime around 1948 - 50? My father is Andrew Caldwell born December 1944 died October 2016. His mother was Catherine Roark. Any information you have to give would be appreciated! Hope to hear from someone soon. Thank you.

I have documented data of Caldwell\'s who went to Kentucky then Louisiana if anyone is interested.

Hello, Everyone:
I just found out that I was adopted, and the Caldwell family through Margaret P. Caldwell m. John Cook 1776. I am just now finding out who my ancestors are, and I am putting data together for my children and grand-children. This is an amazing website. Much gratitude for all the hard work!The circle of family just gets bigger and bigger!

Hi Rebecca.

My grandfather, Charles and your descendant, James were cousins. Charles moved from the Gippsland district to Queensland with his wife, Florence (nee Grantham)and their 3 children, Charles, Florence and Isabel in 1908.

Please contact me at my email address - portacald@gmail.com and I will give you as much infor. as I can.

Cheers,

Hello,

Thank you so much for the thoughtful entries and stories. It helps with the myths and legends I was told as a child. We have many links to the revolutionary war, Whiskey Rebellion, War of 1812, Civil War, WW1, and WW2. I have finally had a breakthrough in the last year using DNA.com from Ancestry.com - where I can now trace my Caldwell genealogy beyond my 3rd Great-Grandfather...and actually have a link to one of the legendary three Caldwell Brothers of Ayrshire - Alexander Caldwell. My Caldwell history is mainly based in the Pittsburgh/Monongahela Valley Pennsylvania area. Though mixed in the American melting pot, my DNA results showed that I am about 75-80% western German/eastern French with 20% split between Irish, Scot, and English. In the last two generations we are now spread from Penn. to Colorado and California. Looking forward to more research and new findings about our Caldwell history.

Best Regards,

Josh Caldwell

My grandmother was Statira Eliza Caldwell Van Buren. Her father was Joseph Caldwell. Her grandfather was Paul Caldwell whose father was William Caldwell. I believe William was born around 1760. He was one of those first naturalized in 1781. Those of us attempting to learn more about the man and his family have been doing so for many, many years. We know he lived in the Johnstown - Ephratah - Palatine area of New York State. My DNA results from Ancestry claim that I am 41 % Irish. The only Irish ancestor I have definitely found is Jeremiah Hayes. I am wondering if William also contributed.

My ggggrandmother Margaret Caldwell m. John Cook, Keziah Cook m. John Christian Warren Co, KY 1799 . Keziah Cook d.1842 buried Hopewell Cemetery, Irving, Montgomery County Illinois. Much thanks for all the work you have done allowing some of us to reach into our past and the family we have not know...

A big hi to all the Caldwells around the world from Aussie Caldwells

Fantastic site by the way, I meant to say also. Your research is incredibly thorough. Love the discussion of Anglo-Saxon and neolithic origins!

I am the 3rd great-grandson of David Caldwell of Cumberland COunty, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Samuel Caldwell/Colwell. There is a large number of Caldwell/Colwell families within Cumberland and Franklin counties. I haven\'t been able to determine the parentage of Samuel Caldwell. I searched through your family tree and didn\'t locate any Cumberland County Caldwells.

thanks,
Brent

David Caldwell was my 7th great grandfather. Its interesting to find more about him here. Even more so than Ancestry.com. Thank you for sharing this . Peace.

My Great Great Grandfather, John Vernon Caldwell was born Dec, 16, 1799 in Vermont. I know his father was George of Irish-Scotich decendence. I can not find a wife or any other children. And, he lived in Vermont, not Kentucky. John Vernon Caldwell, I have got it all. I am so hung up on George! Thanks

My mother was a Culwell of Pike County MO. The surname shifted in Kentucky from Caldwell to Culwell in the mid to late 1800s. The patriarch of thie line was Thomas A. Caldwell, b Maryland 1785 (according to census data), died Jefferson Co, KY, 11 Sep 1856. The children who remained in Kentucky generally kept the Caldwell spelling, while those who moved into Missouri changed to Culwell. We have tried without success to discover the antecedents of Thomas A. Caldwell. There is a DNA connection to Samuel Boyd Caldwell (1793-1879 PA) but no documented connection seems available. If anyone has information on Thomas A. Caldwell, it would be most welcome.

Link to this site was forwarded to me by my nephew Scot Elam. If my research is correct, I am a descendant of David A. Caldwell born 1769.

My great-grandma was Mary Ella Caldwell Barton (1876-1958). I was 11 years old when she died. I have many fond memories of her and her stories. I had polio as a child and sat with her most of the time due to the paralysis I had as a child. I have been researching this branch of the family. I enjoyed the research you have completed. We are in Missouri. Her father was David Caldwell (1847-1924).Thank you.

My grandmother was Clara Houston Caldwell Gregson. I have never been able to understand where the \"Houston\" came from, since I have not noticed that it is a family name. Clara\'s grandfather, Mathew Caldwell (sometimes spelled with 2 t\'s and sometimes with 1) came to America in 1840. I have found that he originated in Renfrewshire, Scotland, then moved to northern Ireland and then migrated across the ocean. I want so much to know about his history before he migrated. If you could possibly point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. Caldwell has remained a family middle name for the past 5 generations.

I have information on Anna Elizabeth Hoschler 1892-1934, wife of Ambrose Vanderbeek. Her parents were Fred & Bertha (Mader) Hoschler. She had several siblings. Her grandparents were John & Elizabeth (Kopp) Hoschler.

I can be reached at the above e-mail address if you would like further information.

Sincerely,

Kim Callahan

Howdy just stumbled upon your blog via Yahoo after I entered in, \"Active Guestbook | Caldwell Genealogy\" or perhaps something similar (can\'t quite remember exactly).
In any case, I\'m glad I found it because your content is exactly what I\'m searching for (writing a university paper) and I hope you don\'t mind if I gather some information from here and I will of course credit you as the reference. Thank you so much.

Hello Caldwell friends,

Your website is most interesting, but unfortunately I have not been able to find the info I am searching for, and maybe I\'m looking in the wrong place. Perhaps you can help me. I sure would appreciate it in our genealogical search.

My great great grandparents, Henry(b. 1827) Caldwell and Margaret (Woods - b. 1826, d.21 Mar 1898) were both born Presyterian in Country Tyrone. I believe they were married in the Ardstraw Presbyterian Church just prior to 1850 and emigrated to Canada (Iroquois, ON) in 1850. I cannot seem to find their names in any of your records online. Then, Henry\'s grandfather (or great grandfather) was born in County Tyrone in 1725 and died 31 Mar 1806.
I have a note of his marriage to one Elizabeth Elliot in 1747.

Can you give me any further info on any of the above? Some of our relatives have enquired as to why Henry and Margaret emigrated to Canada, and to the small town of Iroquois on the St. Lawrence River. Unfortunately, we don\'t have any answers.

Your help (or any assistance) would be most appreciated. We have followed the line on down from Henry and Margaret, but can\'t seem to get anywhere going backward.

Your response or any leads would be most appreciated. Most sincerely,

G Steven Maxted

I have another William Caldwell you can add to your database. Born March 28, 1766 and died June 27, 1832. He and his wife Ester/Hester are buried in the Beaverdam Cemetery in Henry Co. TN. I have photos of both tombstones if you wish. I believe his wife to be Ester Buchanan with their marriage on 10 Sep 1787 in Augusta Co. VA.

I believe I am descended from Seth Caldwell (#59356) through his son William (Billy) Caldwell. I already had through family sources Seth\'s name, his approx birth year, son\'s name and wife\'s name, which match your information. If you\'re interested I think I can fill in a lot of blank areas.

My father was Lawrence Edward Caldwelll, son of Mark McKinley Caldwell. I have been tracing our ancestry for the last 2 years. I enjoyed reading what information you have gathered. It is interesting that my other relatives, the Williams, often cross paths with the Caldwells, and often not on the same side of a disagreement. I would love to talk to anyone interested in my father\'s side of my family.

Hi. My father was Gilbert MacWilliam Caldwell born in 1904 in Paisley or Johnston Scotland. His father was James Caldwell and mother Margaret MacWilliam Caldwell. I know for sure he had a brother Daniel and a sister Margaret but that is all i know. My father was married once before he married my mother and had a son James and a daughter possibly Margaret. I believe this was in Eastern Canada. I would love to find any Caldwell relatives as i know nothing about this side of my family tree.

My grandfather was named Vincent Caldwell and he married into a German family with the surne Koethe. Vincent married Herte Koethe and they settled in Brooklyn NY. They had one son , my father Donald in 1929. I don\'t know anything about Vincent Caldwell. How can I move forward with my research@f4

My father is Brady T. Caldwell
His father was Brady W. Caldwell
His father was George Cleveland Caldwell
His father was Henry Harrison Caldwell
This is as far back as I know.

Granddaughter of Kizzie Caldwell.

my maternal great grandfather was a Caldwell...I want to research the family.

Re: Anjou

I just read you piece on Anjou. Have you researched Orra Monnette, his methods and his notes? It seems as if you and Mr. Anderson are ready to condemn him in, but you until you review his notes, his research methodology, both you and Anderson are simply stating an uneducated opinion. I would also note that Monnette - he never obtained a doctorate, and never presented himself as such. This makes your "Dr." Salutation of him misleading - never offered his services to clients as Anjou did. Monnette was too busy running banks to present himself to clients as a professional genealogist. It was his personal hobby. While he did sell his Piscataway books, he never presented himself as a professional genealogist. Furthermore, Monnett documented and saved, everything. His personal papers include harsh criticisms levied at him by his foes, if he were a fraudster, would he keep such criticisms and defend them?

Strangely, Anderson, who you quote with great confidence, never accessed Monnette's original notes, correspondence or other documents. Instead Anderson takes his information Monnette from a screed written by Donald Lines Jacobus in the American Genealogist, written 20+ years after Monnette's death. Reading Jacobus's piece on Monnette, it become apparent that he too, never looked at the methods Monnette used.

Finally, as to his work with Huguenot's and your inference that such made his works more suspect because that was was Anjou's preferred ourve is really illogical.

One cannot call to question the motivations, quality or even how incorrect conclusions are reached if one does not examine the primary source documentation of a researcher. But to criticize, without benefit or such an examination, mearly places the person who draws such conclusions, without benefit of such research into realms of hearsay themselves.

I have delved into Monnette's personal notes. Have you?

Comment:So let me get this straight; I quote a 1976 edition of American Genealogist that list seven "genealogists" as suspect and I'm some sort of slacker because I didn't research - let alone to your standards - the research of the person that I quoted regarding one of those seven that's not even actually the focus of the article? Got it. Regardless of whether or not Anjou added a dash of Huguenot ancestry in his dubious genealogy reports it doesn't change the fact that the propensity of Monnette's genealogical research contained some connection to Huguenots; let alone the fact that Monnette chaired a meeting of Huguenot descendants (or were they?), but move along; nothing to see here.... There is not one of us without warts of some kind in our ancestry, and while it's noble that almost 80 years after his death you wish to add some sort of corrections or nuance to your ancestors story, I'm going to follow Occam's razor on this one....

Hello! I located some of my family ancestry on this site. My grandfather was Dallas Caldwell. His father was Lanche O. Caldwell, married to Lula, but this site says his name was spelled differently. (Everyone called him L.O.).And his father was Charles Caldwell, married to Rachel McVey. Thank-you so much for creating this database! I can fill in much of the information that appears to be missing about Lanche Caldwell\'s relatives, dates of death, etc. I can see links to \"LIVING\" but can\'t get any information from there. Please help. Thanks!

I am researching an 1822 folio Bible, the Columbian Family and Pulpit Bible (Boston, 1822) which apparently belonged to William Alexander Caldwell (b. 1837) and then to Major James Shapter Caldwell (1843-1866). The latter deposited the Bible with the South Carolina State Archives. See:
http://rediscov.sc.gov/scar/default.asp?IDCFile=/DETAILSS.IDC,SPECIFIC=11569,DATABASE=SERIES

I can sent you a digital image of the family register from that Bible. I do not find a \"Major James Shapter Caldwell\" listed among the Caldwell\'s noted for Military Service, so I wonder if you have more information about his military service--assuming the title \"Major\" implies military service

Hi,

I am a great granddaughter of Flora A. Caldwell and Giles Smith. I have a bunch of info for you, if you would like it. For instance, Flora\'s son Wilson died 12/15/1945, not in 1948.

Please contact me at your earliest convenience and thank you so much for putting up this website. I was absolutely thrilled to find it.

Take care,
Sue

I am looking for Andrew Jackson Caldwell, likely born 1770\'s in NC or SC. His son, Robert Caldwell and wife Linna Jebolt are my oldest Caldwell ancestors verified. Thank you for any help.

John Caldwell of Cub Creek was my 11th Great Grandfather!

There is a Caldwell clan resident in South Africa, my Uncle, David Caldwell is in the process of pulling together our family tree, roots & all ... would be very interesting if and when we hooked up with one of the branches set out here. Will refer this website to him to use as he gets further up the tree.

Kind Regards,

Odette U Caldwell

I am researching our family lineage. I have traced back as far as John Caldwell born 1824. This line of the Caldwells are in CHambersburg Pennsylvania.I know he had a son John William Caldwell born in 1854 in Dayton Ohio. I am trying to link my line to the line from Ireland and so far I have hit a brick wall. Anyone that can help with any information would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My ancestor is Eleanor Caldwell who married William Rutledge in 1740\'s Virginia. They moved to Sullivan County Tn about 1777. Does this connect with anyone?

Hi

I would like to help this site by adding my side of the family tree to this site where it left off.

Hello,
I googled Caldwell to trace the descendants of Robert Caldwell, a London Missionary Society missionary to South India in the 19th century. In fact he was also a philologist and researcher and can be credited with identifying the South Indian languages as separate from Sanskrit-based languages. Would you have him in your database? 🙂 or perhaps I could ask the question the other way round: if you don\'t you might want to \"check him out\". 🙂

Felicia

Our line were of Scotts-Presbyterian ancestry;came to Toronto from Belfast as skilled craftsmen in the wallpaper trade C.1866. They subsequently followed that trade into Buffalo NY, New Brunswick NJ then York, PA.

I enjoyed reading your collections o family stories some I had read before others were new and interesting. Unfortunately I have not met many of my Caldwell family. My family settled in Bomont West Virginia, Clay County. My dad Cledith Bob Caldwell continues to reside on a portion of the original Caldwell family farm.

My ancestors are from Tennessee (John Acey Caldwell) my father is Lewis Eugene Caldwell. We haven\'t been able to get further back from 1840. X Caldwell married to a Rebecca Cleary. My father said we were from the Clan of Lewis from the Isle of Skye.

Interesting web site. My great grandmother is traced to Hugh Caldwell. It is documented that Hugh Caldwell of Virginia spoke often of the cups with the crest of caldwell and from time to time he showed this to his family.
Thank you for posting your information.

My name is Jo Evelyn Caldwell Woods. I am searching for the place of my branch of Caldwell\'s origin.
Thank you.

Hello, my son\'s Dad is named David Caldwell who lived in DesMoines, Wa area. He was born in 1969 I believe in Feb or June. He had a brother who was younger named Sean or Shawn Caldwell. Moms name was possibly Peggy and her husband\'s name was John Caldwell. David had a set of twins girls that were born March of 1996 with a Kim or Pam Caldwell. If anyone knows who this family is or how I can get ahold of any of them, email me ASAP. ggmw2009@gmail.com

Thank you very much!!

Hello, John! I have not been on this site in years and as I see it there is still a lot of nonsense printed regarding the surname of Caldwell. I know from whence I came (Scotland to County Donegal to Pennsylvania to Virginia to Georgia to Arkansas to Texas) From my father, George, from my grandfather, John Elijah, from George W, from Matthew Tanner, from Creed, from David, from John, from John and from John in America. The research continues with my daughter now doing the research back to the William Wallace era and area. Maybe you remember when we met on this site as I don\'t. All I know is that we are related. This site has changed over the years very much and I will look around a bit.
