Here's some info I found for ya... Caldwell County Organized December 29, 1836, from Ray County and named for John Caldwell, Indian scout. Alexander Doniphan is credited with naming Caldwell County in honor of an Indian fighter whom his father, Joseph Doniphan, had known in Kentucky. According to Floyd C. Shoemaker, Doniphan probably referred to Colonel John Caldwell, the famous soldier for whom Caldwell County, Kentucky was named. Mathew Caldwell has also been cited as the man for whom the Missouri County was named.

Thanks, what I am really wanting to find is information about when the Mormon pioneers were there, and it was called Far West, at that time 1837 I had a g g Uncle that was buried there, and if I could find more or if a cemetery is still there. I think the town was torn down, but did they move the cemetery or just build or grow over it. Thanks Charlcy UT.
