John B ... Just came across your message 559 yesterday. The names ARE CORRECT , and more explicit ( in some cases ) than what I have in my database.
May I ask the source of your information ? I have been
exchanging info with Ken Fowke for about 8 years now, and along with another cousin, have put together some pretty good history on this CALDER Family.
The first Generation, ROBERT (#1)migrated from Elgin, Morayshire, Scotland, 1767, to New Hampshire in the employ of the Governor JOHN WENTWORTH.
The Second Generation, FRANCES WENTWORTH CALDER , with her husband ( and first cousin ) ROBERT (#3) CALDER, migrated to Ontario, winding up in Peel County, in 1820.
Their son, CHARLES WENTWORTH CALDER ( my 2G-Grandfather )was prominent in Peel County History, and with his wife and several Family Members, is buried in CHURCHVILLE Cemetery.
LEWIS B. CALDER, is Charles' son ( Generation 4 ).
Along with three brothers, they migrated to the Dakotas in the 1870's. Lewis returned to Canada.
LEONARD,L.B's son and Generation 5 ( known as Leonard G. Calder ) was a C.P.R. engineer, and drove the first trainload of colonists into SASKATOON. In 1907 he became Sheriff of Saskatoon, and served 22 years.
Quite a Family !!!! Do you have any info on the Family Origins in Morayshire, parents of #1, siblings, etc ?
What we have is very thin.
Regards,
Paul A. Robins, U.E.
Incidentally, the Wentworth name continued in the Family. My sister is Frances Wentworth Robins !!!!!
