Hello: I am secretary of Historic Russellville located in Russellville, Logan County, KY. We have recentely restored the saddle factory operated by David and Andrew Caldwell from 1817 - 1840. Plans are underway to open the 1817 Saddle Factory Museum this spring.
We are most interested in information on the Caldwell family. I have a paper dated 1900 written by John William Caldwell of Russellville . The line of descent is Oliver arrived in Pa 1854. He was first married to Ann Caldwell.Two sons, Joseph and John.
He later married Isabella Cook and while enroute to KY from VA in late 1700s he died and is buried in Tenn. His wife with children George, David, Andrew and Daniel continued the trip to KY and resided with the Cook family.
The article by John William Caldwell notes that Oliver brought with him a family history which he had a copy of that was lost during the Civil War. He also said Oliver had a silver cup like the one described in other forum articles I have read.
The writer of the paper (1900) is the son of Austin Caldwell and wife, Louisa Harrison Caldwell (she was a widow of David), His grandparents were John Caldwell and wife, Elizabeth Akers (Aders,Acers). He was the great grandson of Oliver Caldwell and wife, Anne Caldwell.
Historic Russellville would be most grateful to hear from anyone connected to this outstanding family. I have enjoyed reading about the Caldwells in this forum. Sincerely Pat Basham, Secretary, Historic Russellville jbasham@logantele.com
