Hi BH,
I am a descendant of this John Caldwell, only there seems to be a little difference in our data. I have John Caldwell born abt 1740 in Londonderry. Then coming to Nova Scotia with son John (b. 1761, Londonderry), daughter Mary, b. 1763, son Samuel b.1769 , son Joseph, born enroute on the ship at New York.
I am trying to determine who John E. Caldwell's wife was. Since there seems to be no record of her in Nova Scotia, she may have died during the birth of Joseph.
I'd be interested to know if you have any further findings since you posted this message a year ago.

I am trying to find the names of the wives and any other siblings of thesefamilies that may have stayed back in Ireland, please help if you can, I would love to find the name of the ship on which they travelled also...BH
