This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Hamilton Caldwell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RAB.2ACI/2633 Message Board Post: I am descended from the John P. Caldwell (1798 - 1860s) who married Lucy Hamilton (1806-1860s) the daughter of Thomas Hamilton (1760s - 1850). The Henry Caldwell who married Lucy's sister Nancy Hamilton was John P. Caldwell's brother. John P. Caldwell moved to Obion County, TN, between 1835 and 1840. Three of his brothers also moved there. An 1851 family Bible of their brother James Caldwell (1803 - 1873) lists the marriages of John and Henry with Lucy and Nancy Hamilton. They were all the sons of Robert Caldwell (born 1762, in Lunenburg (now Charlotte) County, VA, - 1840s in Adair County, KY) and Hannah Willis (1767 - 1850s in Adair County, KY). I have the Caldwell line back to the early 1600s in northern Ireland. They were cousins of the 1825 to 1832 US Vice President John Caldwell Calhoun (1782 - 1850). I would like to contact Debbie Hamilton who has an excellent Thomas Hamilton web site. But my e-mails are not getting through. Anybody interested in the Caldwells of Adair! County, KY?
