You might want to look north a couple of counties. I am under the impression my ancestor, Granville Caldwell came to Stoddard County, Missouri in the early 1830s. (I have no documentation) If correct this was very early for Stoddard county. I think most of it consisted of swamp. Missouri had only been a state for about ten years and there were no inhabitants listed in Stoddard County. Is there any information regarding any other Caldwell in the neighborhood at that early date. Thanks, George
