    1. [KYLESLIE] CALVIN SAYLOR and Thousand Sticks
    2. E. CALDWELL
    3. Thanks for the input on the Thousands Sticks Newspaper. It is a route to finding out about my grandmother's death in 1905 in Leslie Co. KY. My grandmother was CATHERINE SAYLOR NAPIER CALDWELL. I need her parents names to find my family. Also I thought I might fund out something about her first husbands death. JAMES NAPIER was killed at Greasy Creek Hunting Camp in 1887. An Obit might give her parents names. My grandmother, CATHERINE SAYLOR NAPIER CALDWELL was about 45 when she died in childbirth if the 1860 birth date from the Caldwell book is right. But, in the 1860 Harlan Co Census there is a CALVIN SAYLOR with a daughter CATHERINE SAYLOR age 13. That would make her 7 years younger. She would be 38 when she died in childbirth. It is a lead. Her first child's name was Calvin and there was a Calvin Saylor that witnessed my grandfather's next wedding to Mary Brock. He may have been her father. Just a guess? Does anyone have a CALVIN SAYLOR in their line? The 1900 Leslie Co Census Morrowbone District shows her as age 40. That places her as born in 1860 again. The Orphanage Records show her age as 35 which would be the age at her death unless my grandfather didn't remember. That would have placed her as being born in 1870. Who knows how close the census takers were as far as ages go?? A MIKE SAYLOR signed as a witness and was listed as a relative on her son JACKSON CALDWELL's delayed birth record. I found his granddaughter and we know we are related but haven't figured out how. So now I have a CALVIN SAYLOR that I am obviously related to also but I am not sure if he is her father or maybe an uncle?? And so it goes.... As many of you know my father SIM CALDWELL was orphaned in 1914 and never saw his family again. I met a few for the first time last Dec. I had found them in Nov 2001. It has been and is an incredible journey. I will attend my first CALDWELL Reunions in a few weeks. The Caldwell/Brock Reunion the 30th in Leslie Co and the Caldwell Reunion in Corbin. I am excited to say the least! If I can find my grandmothers parents names I will be able to meet my Saylor family too! Thanks for any help. Elizabeth Caldwell CALDWELL, SAYLOR, WHITEHEAD, BENGE
