I am looking for any more history on my ancestorial family of Guillaume William Caulwel or Guillame De Calwel from the House of Guines, Count Mannasses 1st of Guines going back from 1066
Looking for a search angel….
I’ve looked into the advice given in the comments and still have not created a hole in this brick wall.
I really need someone to dig for him that has a different perspective, because 16 years of dead ends is driving me nuts!
I will post the link to George’s profile, I’ve built in Ancestry in the comments.
My Great x2 Grandfather was George Washington Caldwell/Callwell b. July 17, 1843 in Greenbrier, Monroe Co. Virginia (before WV). I’m looking for the names of his parents. The only lead I have found is the 1900 Census stating his father was born in England and his mother in NC.
George enlisted in the Union company H in the 3rd Illinois Calvary in Springfield, IL in December 1865. Then married Mary Sales in Clinton Co. MO in 1867.
He had 4 surviving children.
Charles W. - 1870
Emma M. - 1876
George W. - 1879
Bertha M. - 1887
He died February 2, 1901.

I just found out about this site from a YouTube video. I know quite a bit about our family line, but I am so excited to dig in and find out more!
Descendant of Maria Caldwell (1824-1897) my 4th great grandmother. Born in Canada and ended up in Utah. Daughter to David Caldwell 5th great grandfather (1781-1847). Born in Northern Ireland-moved to Scotland-Canada-then dying in Michigan. It appears they were early Mormon settlers. Thank you to all who have spent so much time and effort into this surname. I am new to this genealogy journey. Trying to trace back my line. Seems to end with John Caldwell (1749-1793). John marrying Ann Nancy Wooden (1726-?), both being born and died in Ireland. Anyone that can help me go further please contact delrio241@gmail.com
My ancestor Thomas Bury [Berry] married MARIETTA CALDWELL (1827-1887) in Delaware in the 1840's. I have yet to discover anything about Marietta's family. They moved to Pennsylvania soon thereafter.
I am a descendant of the Allisons in Canada, who came from Northern Ireland, linked to the Caldwell line, to James 1-111, to Robert the Bruce, to William 1 and Rollo. I am glad to read regarding the french connection to the Caldwells, having traced back to Guellieme de Calwel in Aquitaine, France. I have been doing my own research on Ancestry as well as Geni, and Michael Caldwell, I am pleased that you have done much of the hard work listing the heritage, and I'd like to thank other research contributors. This is stunning, humbling and self-defining and I am truly grateful. Looking forward to more publishers, and sharing of stories. Bless and thanks.
My Momma, Nina Mae, was the second daughter of McKinley Caldwell, son of Reuben, from Big Pine, N.C. Nina married James Floyd Julian in 1950. Now all but the youngest son are dead ~ Louis lives in Leicester, N.C. We've traced our Caldwell ancestors back to Ireland.

After 42 years searching, I found the downland where my GG grandfather James Caldwel ( b. 4 May 1834) was born [ Mowillian, Derrynoose, Armagh, Northern Ireland]. Parish records show migration with his mother (Nee Eliza Baird) and his siblings to Dundee, Scotland sometime in the late 1840's.
It is purported that Jame's father was John Caldwell, and that his grandfather was James Caldwell.
My GG grandfather James' siblings were: Hugh (1829), Eliza (1830), John (1832), Joseph (1836), Robert (1838), and Margaret (1840)>. if any of this rings a bell, I would be grateful if you would email me at rlcolwell@gmail.com

My name is Michael Caldwell, the first of the name Michael in my family tree on either my father or mother's side. Someone sent me a link to "A Caldwell Connection to Henry III by Michael Caldwell". As I read through it, I noticed multiple names, dates, etc. were, different than what is listed in my tree. I also noticed that he did not give sources for his findings. Does anyone have sources to back up his claims?

I just discovered three Charles Buford Caldwells (Sr, Jr and III) all from the Houston, Texas area - big surprise! Research just beginning. How odd to have thee with the exact name as mine, and I never heard of them before. Buford was my paternal grandmother's maiden name. Any help will be appreciated.
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.

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
