Rev. Samuel Craighead Caldwell & Elizabeth Lindsay, Mecklenburg Co., NC
Samuel Craighead Caldwell (c.1767/8-1826) married, as his second wife Elizabeth Lindsay (c.1784-1825). She was the daughter of Judge Robert Lindsay (d.1801) of Guilford County, and his second wife Ann "Nancy" McGee (1753/4-1832) my 5th great grandparents, who were married in 1772. I'd be interested in learning whatever I can about their descendants.
The children of Samuel Craighead Caldwell and Elizabeth Lindsay were:
Abigail Bain Caldwell (10 May 1808-29 May 1889) m. Robert Davidson Alexander on 12 Feb. 1829, 6 children, among them Dr. John Brevard Alexander (1834-1911) who was a Mecklenburg County historian and the father of Dr. Annie Alexander, one of the first lady physicians in the area. Abigail was evidently named for Rev. S. C. Caldwell's first wife who died young. She lived at Edgewood, which still stands: http://www.cmhpf.org/surveys&redgewoodfarm.htmhttp://www.cmhpf.org/surveys&redgewoodfarm.htm
Reverend John McKnitt Madison Caldwell (12 July 1812-21 Sept 1892), m. Caroline Elizabeth Livy. He died at Rome, Georgia. 6 children. A Presbyterian Minister.
Robert (Andrew) Harper Caldwell (1814- ?) m. Sarah Williamson.
Samuel Craighead Caldwell (c.1816)
Septimus Caldwell (c.1818) m. Mary A. Philips, 11 March 1847, Yaobusha Co., Miss.
Reverend Cyrus K. Caldwell (1821-28 March 1876). Played a major role in establishing the Southern Presbyterian Church in 1861. Died at Jackson, Tennessee.
Walter Pharr Caldwell (3 Aug. 1823-27 Nov. 1888) m. Nannie Weatherby, 7 children. A lawyer, died in Greensboro. Buried at Green Hill cemetery.
Lellard Iume Caldwell.... no dates known....a daughter? (She's listed first on one list.)
Accounts state that there were five Caldwell sons who were ministers and one who was a lawyer. I have the names of eight children, though one source says there were nine.
I'd be pleased to compare notes with anyone who is interested in any of these folks.
Best Regards,
