I am researching the family of Robert Caldwell who arrived in Charleston SC in 1772 from Antrim in Northern Ireland. Eunice Means who married Bert Oral Cranford was a ggg grand daughter of this Robert Caldwell. All of these Caldwells and related families came from South Carolina in the mid to late 1840's to North Mississippi. A number of related Caldwell, Reid, Means, and Luke families then left Pontotoc County Mississippi and moved to what is today Pontotoc County OK. I would love to share information with you. I have high speed internet service and I think I can handle most any attachment you send. Rudy Caldwell Tupelo MS Lpcrudyc@comcast.net
