Attention: Joseph E. Browne, On October 25, 2002, you sent a letter to OLD96 Line stating you were researching certain families, one being the Caldwell's. I am also researching the Caldwell's, who came through that area, on down into GA and received land, but eventually ended up in Limestone County, TX in the early 1850s. My line is through Curtis Caldwell, who I believe is related to your Thomas. I have just got started back on this line. I work one line and put it aside and work another. The one thing in you e-mail to this Line was you mentioned a book on the Caldwells by Carroll Wayne Caldwell who lives in Spartanburg. Do you have an address or e-mail for him? I would be very interested in getting in touch with him. I recently purchased several book, one being "The History of Spartanburg" by J.B.O. Landrum, and it has a page or so on the Caldwell family, and it mentions James. Also, in another book entitled "Gone To Georgia" compiled by William C. Stewart for the National Genealogical Society in Washington, DC from records in the National Archives it states the following on the Caldwell families who moved on down into Georgia: It gives names and 1820 census on John and Curtis Caldwell. "Also enumerated in Gwinnett County, GA in 1820 was James Caldwell, Alexander, James and William in Clarke County, Curtis C. Coldwell married in Oglethorphe County May 4, 1826, Sarah McCowan. Most of the Caldwell's came from Pennsylvania to Virginia and moved south and west, first noted in Wilkes County, GA., records being in Alexander from Virginia who took land on Ogeechee, Dec 7, 1773. Some at least of that family in northeast Georgia probably were related to the family of David Caldwell who was in the Pendleton District, SC by 1790." 1820 - Gwinnett Co., GA James Caldwell #210110-21110-0 I hope this will give you some direction where these Caldwell's migrated. Also, a James' name is mentioned twice in the Intestate Records of Georgia as an Administrator of estates that were settled Intestate (without a Will) but without knowing the time frame, I would wait to know if you would want this information. I would very much like to know how to get a copy of the Caldwell book. Betty Rich Paxson
