My 6th great grandfather is John Caldwell, 1682 - 1750 born lifford county donegal, Ireland. Also know as John of cub creek, lunenberg county, VA. He had two wives, Iam from he's second and so are you they had two kids, her name was Mary Margaret Phillips caldwell, and their kids name were robert caldwell, Ian from this line, and James caldwell 1734 - 1781 is your line of Caldwell's. This has been so much fun looking up my name. Just wish I could have done it when my dad was still alive. My mom is, she is enjoying this. Rev James caldwell was a revolutionary war. First Presbyterian pastor in Elizabeth town New Jersey, 1762. Battle of Springfield nj. Reverend caldwell's wife Hannah was shot and killed. Know for the famous line " now boys give ' me watts! Give ' me watts". November 1781 he was shot by a sentry. He now lies next to he's wife of the church he served for 30 years the town of caldwell New Jersey was named in he's honor.Cody caldwellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-14480921394992938512020-12-21T01:26:59.347+00:002020-12-21T01:26:59.347+00:00Hello Caldwell Cousins!
My name is Hannah Caldwell...Hello Caldwell Cousins!<br />My name is Hannah Caldwell. I am doing this research for my dad, Doug Caldwell and my grandfather Floyd Caldwell. Our Caldwell line came from Sir John, my 12 times great grandfather. I am not sure how many of my direct great grandparents resided in the area around the estate in Enniskillen, but I believe that the last my last direct great grandfather in Ireland is John (Yes, yet another John) Caldwell born around 1682. The first information I have of them moving to the US is the birth of his son, James Caldwell in 1734 in an area known as Cub Creek (a Scotch-Irish settlement) in Virginia. I am the last of my namesake in this line of Caldwells so the name will die with me unless I have children. My grandpa lived in Crook, Colorado, I think a large portion of his family coming from Ohio and all of his cousins and their families I believe lived in these areas too. I am very interested in hearing from other Caldwells and seeing what you all have to share! I am a history researcher both professionally and personally. This has become a neat side project for me to work on. I am quite curious about that gold box they mentioned from the Queen Empress of the Holy Roman Empire in this article. I am always so interested to see those types of physical remnants! Do you think it still exists somewhere? It would be wonderful to just see what it looks like. I have a feeling it no longer exists, but it never hurts to ask. Let me know, or just feel free to say hello, my email is caldwell.hannah@gmail.com<br />Cheers!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02138817312231325367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-59158879035430031092020-07-20T03:37:23.810+01:002020-07-20T03:37:23.810+01:00I am a Caldwell and live in OH.

Here's a bit of information for you. ...Brenda,<br /><br />Here's a bit of information for you. It may or may not help you. I get the distinct feeling you may have come from the same line of Caldwells as myself but maybe from a different sibling of my 5x great grandmother. I've had a difficult time with the hints on ancestry and keeping the Caldwell line straight because there are so many inconsistencies ( there's a book mentioned farther up in this thread that would be useful in figuring out the lineage but it's very hard to find here in the US). I did manage to establish that my grandmother Mary Caldwell who was born in Virginia came from Hugh Caldwell who was born at Castle Caldwell as well as his father Hugh Caldwell Sr. They came to Virginia at some point when Mary's father was a child. That's as far as I can safely establish with my Caldwell line. Mary married my 5x great grandfather English Crawford in 1793 and they had 3 sons. They might have travelled through Kentucky but for a time settled in Tennessee where their kids were born. They moved to a little town in Indiana called Stilesville where they died and are buried.Kathleen Crawfordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-23758022204226283682020-07-08T06:13:43.292+01:002020-07-08T06:13:43.292+01:00Greetings Caldwell cousins!

I recognize so many of these names from my unconfirmed ancestors as assembled from the leaf hints on Ancestry.com. Neither side of my family ever spoke of ancestors, so I never had any idea of the who/where of them. My paternal grandmother was a Caldwell whose parents came from southeastern Kentucky. Most of them still live in that area. My grandmother & her husband moved north for work, residing in Indianapolis, Indiana during the 1950s-60s. I was born here & now live here again. All of my elders are now deceased. I was the only child of my parents & my father was an only child.<br /><br />I want to do a DNA geneology test to help confirm some of my info which also may be Scottish. I have red hair & blue eyes, like my father. His natural father also had red hair, but he left while my teen grandma was pregnant so hardly anything is known of him. Have any of you had your ancestry checked by DNA?<br /><br />I look forward to future findings.<br /><br />Brenda Caldwell, Indy��☘Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-56851314169881475802020-07-02T20:38:30.545+01:002020-07-02T20:38:30.545+01:00I am also of the lineage that ended up in catalooc...I am also of the lineage that ended up in cataloochee, nc please email me, I am interested in the lineage and a possible family reunion. we should renovate or save what we can caglenow@gmail.com fonda eagle<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06273149854550100251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-30148287985574495762020-04-26T01:38:48.732+01:002020-04-26T01:38:48.732+01:008 years ago?

My father always told us the Caldwells came from France before they settled in Scotland. He had also heard rumors that Caldwells were associated in some way with the Barbarossa pirates. Neither have been confirmed with our research, but he did learn this information from family. Side note, there is a town of Caldwell, West Virginia, which is where my direct ancestors settled.<br /><br />There is a website, caldwellgenealogy.com, that has more information about these stories.

It is very full of the detailed history of county Fermanagh, the brutal murders of the locals (Irish vs Scot/English) in the wars from 1300s up to Cromwell & how the wars started up our lineage in this area, it also connects with John Caldwell of Scotland (Preswick) son of Wm Caldwell of Ayrshire at Caldwell Tower/Castle. It help confirm my genealogical records, hopefully your too, if not, you are missing out on a lot of family & social history.<br /><br />Harry<br /><br />Tower Caldwell Scotland was in the recent TV show, Restorationman in the UK.....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662689819844839639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-35098485783201526682017-12-13T20:53:28.423+00:002017-12-13T20:53:28.423+00:00Its amazing how many descendants there are from th...Its amazing how many descendants there are from this line of Caldwells.
