General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Colwell


The members of the Colwell or Caldwell family have used various spellings of the name, the form Caldwell prevailing among a large number for several generations. It is also found written Coldwell and Coaldwell. Caldwell applied to place and family is traced in England, Scotland, Ireland and France, and from England, Scotland and Ireland emi­grated many of the name to New England. Again, Coldwell as applied to place and fam­ily appears as remotely as in the time of the Conqueror, 1066-87, whom it is said the fam­ily accompanied to England, participating in the stirring events of that day. In Scotland the Caldwells, of Caldwell in Ayrshire, had become a prominent family as early as 1349, at which date it furnished a chancellor of Scotland. 1
