Do you think that perhaps that your John Henry Caldwell could be the son of my James Caldwell? Nancy Caldwell daughter of my James Caldwell is listed as being 51 on the 1850 census that would have made her born abt 1799. Her husband Jesse Williams was born about 1794, which would have made him 56 in 1850. For John Henry Caldwell to been the age of James or to have been his brother it would have made him born in around the years of 1770's (this would have made him almost 100 years old when he had your James Henry Caldwell, very impossible), but he would have been old enough to have been James's son not brother. Jesse Williams and Nancy Caldwell's oldest son was named James Caldwell Williams, all of Jesse and Nancy's children move to Arkansas around 1880.
1820 Census Posey Co. Indiana
James Caldwell's house consisted of:
males-
0-10= 0
10-16= 1
16-26= 2
26-45= 2
45-100= 1
females-
0-10= 0
10-16= 4
16-26= 1
26-45= 1
45-100= 1
Next door to James Caldwell lived James Colson (this I believe is the father of James Colson who married Susannah Caldwell). Before the Colson family lived that of Thomas Jordan, who I believe is the brother of James Caldwell's wife, Susannah Jordan.
James Caldwell married Susannah Jordan in Warren County Kentucky on April 11 1798.

I have found no listing of any males born to James Caldwell being married in Posey Co., but I know there are sons born to his marriage to Susannah Jordan. They could have just been married in another County or got married after 1850.
