Hi List, I have been reading your postings about Chalk Level. I have never heard of that place in Caldwell Co. But on an 1853 gazetteer that I have there is a Chalk Level P. O. in Hopkins County but it does not give an exact location. Hope this helps. Vickie Beard Thompson FamilyQuest Research Services "We Dig Your Roots!" Currently looking for new clients.

It borders the east Caldwell County line and driving south a few miles borders the Christian County line. I think I explained that correctly. I would like to thank you for sharing that the 1853 gazetteer shows a Chalk Level P.O. From Ken's earlier message, Dawson Springs must have become the name around 1874. Vicki
