CALDWELL. Mathew (Old Paint) Caldwell, one of the most active and significant DeWitt Colony militia Captains, was a resident of Gonzales town. Land records indicate that he arrived with a family of 5 on 20 Feb 1831. He received title to a sitio of land on 22 Jun 1831 southwest of current Hallettsville in Lavaca County near the Zumwalt Settlement. In Gonzales he acquired the original James Hinds residence on Water St. across from the Guadalupe River south of the Dickinson and Kimble Hat Factory. Capt. Caldwell's activities are covered in detail under DeWitt Colony Captains, Minutemen and Rangers.
I am also looking for parents of this Mathew CALDWELL.
Have lots of other CALDWELL information in TX, MO, SC, and a little back to Scotland.
Always exciting to find another family historian & willing to trade information.Have you found Mathew's parents yet?
