The Loyalists on the PRINCE OF WALES were picked up by the JOSEPH, Capt. Jonathon Walton, and brought to Digby. John Caldwell appears to have been a widower, as on the Muster Rolls at Digby, he is shown with 3 children, no spouse. On 20 Dec 1789, he married Nancy VanVelsor, of Sandy Cove (trinity Parish Church Records, Digby), He was a grantee at Petite Passage (now Tiverton), Digby County, in 1788, where he received 190 acres. He was also included in the grant of Long Island (Freeport& Central Grove) where he received 250 acres in the Central Grove area. He later had land at East Ferry, Sandy Cove, Cherry Valley (near Little River), and finally settled at Caldwell's Cove, near Culloden, Digby County. There are more records of this family , in County History, other books, County records, etc. - Hope this helps, John Thurber
