The parents of Henry Caldwell in this profile WERE NOT the John Caldwell who married Margaret Phillips and who died in Cubs Creek, Charlotte Co., VA. His parents were John Caldwell & Mary Orr who died in Somerset County, MD. Henry’s father John Caldwell’s will was written the 11 July 1747 and was probated the 19 August 1747 in Somerset County, MD.
John Rodgers (son of Wm. Rodgers & Margaret Caldwell) in an 1825 letter to his cousin Elias Caldwell in Washington, DC listed the children of John and Margaret (Phillips) Caldwell when he stated: "Our grandfather's children were Win. , Thomas, David & Margaret, John, Robert & James. " John Rodgers as a nephew / grandson had first hand knowledge of his ancestry. The John Caldwell who is buried in the Cub Creek cemetery, Charlotte Co, VA died in October 1750.
So we have two separate and distinct John Caldwell’s whose children have been merged by poor genealogy.
