General Notes: Husband - Samuel Caldwell


He was born in Dauphin County, eastern Pennsylvania, and came with his parents to Allegheny County when but a child. He served an apprenticeship as a tailor, but after completing the trade was obliged to abandon it on account of poor health. He then began farming, and in 1818 bought a farm in Peters township, Washington County, to which he moved, eventually becoming a prosperous agriculturist. In politics he was originally a Whig, then a Republican, and served for years as a member of the school board. In religion he was first identified with the Union Church, afterward uniting with the U. P. Society, then known as the Bridge Church, later called the Canonsburg U. P. Church, to which he was a liberal contributor.
