My husbands grandmother was Lula Mae Caldwell born in Tupelo in 1939 and died in Wisconsin in 1999. Unfortunately beyond that... well I know her fathers name was Thomas Caldwell and that he died in MS sometime before 1961. Her mother was Beatrice Heaven who was born may 8, 1911 in (Rosedale?) MS and died in wisconsin in 2005. Her parents were James and Bettie Heaven. We don't know much than that... other than James and Bettie lived near their parents (or one of their parents?) plantation that they had been on. UGH... Frustrated! We are not certain where else to search on this line. I have found a few other names on the Calwell side... but not much since it is just from censuses. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are there any relatives of whom you can ask questions? Cousins for example? No matter how distant? Are there neighbors who knew the family in Tupelo? They may be able to give you more names to research. Also, look on http://www.Familysearch.org for marriage records. You may be able to find maiden names, etc which can help. Good hunting. tootncmon
My Caldwells lived in Mississippi. OG Caldwell is the only one I have been able to find. I am actually looking for grgrandma Effie/Autha Caldwell. She became my grgrandfather Lee Adams, wife wife about 1898 in Ms. All I have is her name..the true name..Autha Caldwell. It seems like these CALDWELLS, just 'showed up'. It is a puzzle. My information came from the granddaughter of OG Caldwell who lives in another state. Her daughter saw a posting on the internet of my search. LIFE IS A hoot!!!
