Biography
William was born on 16 July 1820 in Kentucky, son of Joseph E. Caldwell.
William Caldwell was married on 8 May 1844 in Owen County to Catharine Minor. His father Joseph Caldwell conducted the ceremony.[1]
On 27 August 1850, William and Catherine and their three children, Mary, Joseph, and Elizabeth, lived in District 2 of Owen County, Kentucky. Next door was his parents' farm. William worked as a farmer and owned $200 in real estate.[2]
On 20 July 1860, William and Catherine and their children- Mary, Joseph, Martha- lived in Jefferson, Daviess County, Missouri. For some reason the census taker failed to write down the names of the younger children who would have been in the household (James, Sarah, Rosalind, and George). Their post office was Gallatin. William worked as a farmer. They owned $300 in personal estate.[3]
On 14 February 1868, William received Lot 1 in the division of his father Joseph E. Caldwell's estate, totaling 35 acres.[4]
On 27 July 1870, William and Catherine and their six children-James T., Sarah C., Rosalind, George A., Andrew J., and John S. lived in Jefferson, Davies County, Missouri. William worked as a farmer with Catherine keeping house. They owned $1,800 in real estate and $1,100 in personal estate.[5]
William died on 6 December 1875, probably in Daviess County, Missouri, and is buried in that county in Black Cemetery.[6]
