Using this, I found they list Mitchell under Stewart of Appin. Now all this really means is that there were probably a group of Mitchells who took protection of the Stewarts of Appin at one point. There was no listing for Caldow. But there may have been others of your lines that were more directly tied to clans. Joe Broom
