1778 July 25, Alexander Caldwell and Margaret Looney, Botetourt Co., VA. http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/botetourt/vitals/marriages/botetrt.txt It is said that Alexander went to Knox Co., TN, before 1778, but returned to VA to marry. Another source has their marriage date as Jan. 5, 1778, which might be the date of the bond, and July 25 being the date of the marriage.

The April sessions 1832 of the Knox Co.

The land had been granted to Alexander Caldwell by the State of NC on May 18, 1789. All 11 children were listed and two - James Caldwell and Polly Caldwell Coupland, were deceased. James had 6 children; the last 3 were Nancy, Rebecca and Polly. Four of the heirs (Alexander Jr, Benjamin, Robert and Absolem) were awarded an undivided 96 acres at their request. John Caldwell, Elizabeth Caldwell Smith and Nancy Caldwell Gallaway, all of Roane Co., TN, had already sold their interests to Samuel Williams of Knox Co.

I believe you can add the name of Elizabeth to the children of Alexander Caldwell. While researching my Smith line, I have a copy of a deed from Knox Co., TN, dated 10/3/1831, between John Caldwell, Elizabeth & George Smith, and Nancy & Jesse Galloway, all of Roane Co., TN and Samuel Williams of Knox Co., TN. Also mentioned is that the property was inherited from Alexander Caldwell deceased. --Barry F. Smith, Galloway Family Genealogy Forum, message #2145 posted March 5, 2002

The Scottish pronunciation for Caldwell sounds like Kuh' well and almost as one syllable so the name is often found in records as Colwell (a different Soundex number from Caldwell); my mother-in-law, Pansy Caldwell Smith (1907-1992), pronouced her maiden name this way until her death; I could never quite say it like she did.
See an interesting series of newspaper articles published around 1905 relating to early Caldwell history. http://www.bcpl.net/~ellen/caldwell_lineage.html
This website has copied verbatim much of my information for Robert Caldwell, his siblings (except Absalom), and his parents, and has not given credit to my file from whence it came.

Posted by Mark Caldwell <>, April 8, 1999, message #1045. It is true that English married Amelia RUTHERFORD. His father was Hugh CALDWELL but his mother was Nancy FERRIER CALDWELL. Hugh and Nancy CALDWELL were married in Botetourt Co., VA, in 1809 and moved to Knox Co. in 1810. Thomas was a cousin, not a brother or son. English was my gg-grandfather. He was murdered in 1848 at Graveston. My g-grandfather Mark McKINLEY was 6 years old at the time.
