Posted on: Union Co. GA Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Union?read=609 Surname: Fair, Caldwell ------------------------- The third child of CHARLES FAIR and SARAH WHITE FAIR of Union County was GEORGE LEE FAIR who married LOLA CALDWELL or COLWELL. There is some confusion among living relatives as to the spelling of her maiden name. LOLA and GEORGE ultimately moved down to Oglethorpe County to farm. They are buried in the Arnoldsville, GA City Cemetery. Lola's birthdate is shown on the marker as December 15, 1878; death was on May 29, 1934. Does anyone on this site know the parents of Lola so that we can resolve the spelling issue? My presumption is that she was born in Union County.

According the Union County Heritage book John Theodore Colwell is the first Caldwell to change the spelling of the name - he was born 1849 the son of William and Elizabeth Black Caldwell. There is one mention of Calwell also in Union Co. I also noted that Fair was picked up as Fain on some of the census records. Union Co. has most all the census records online at their site at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaunion/Census.htm Although time consuming it would be easier than looking at the microfilm, since volunteers transcribed them for the internet. Also consider looking at the link to Fannin county... I found several of our THOMAS line there, even though they said they were from Union, or even Lumpkin County... it all used to be Union County.
