Annie, I am keenly interested in your Caldwell research. My 5g-grandmother, Rebecca Dickerson, widow of John Dickerson (John; b c1747, Amherst County, VA, d. c1789, Jessamine County, KY) (Rebecca, b. c1750, VA; d. c 1820, KY, Fayette-Bourbon area) is convincingly born Rebecca Dudgeon, daughter of John and Catherine Dudgeon of Lunenburg/Halifax County, VA. John Dudgeon is a son of John Dudgeon (b. 1691, Ireland, d. 1763, Lunenburg) and Catherine Caldwell (b. 1691, Irelan, d. VA). Catherine Caldwell is the daughter of Joseph Caldwell ( b. 1656/57 - 1730, Ireland) and his wife Jane McGhie (b. 1660, Ireland). The Caldwell family was a presence in Lunenburg/Halifax Counties, VA, being founders of the Presbyterian church there, with the Dudgeon family always right beside them, and the Dickersons closely involved. While some of the Caldwell, Dudgeon and Dickerson families are well documented through the years, many of them are 'lost', but appear all over the KY land records, especially in Fayette, occasionally Jessamine, adn surrounding counties in land and court records. There are all kinds of bits and pieces that need to be knitted together!
