Biography
"Col. Edward Caldwell.....was born about 1695, probably in Virginia, and married Tabitha Hill about 1715, probably in Prince County, Virginia. He is believed to be the Edward Caldwell who purchased 295 acres of land between 1722 and 1725 in Prince George Co., and who was granted another 2, 000 acres in Brunswick County, Virginia, in 1741. He is believed to be the same Edward Caldwell who purchased a 300-acre plantation from Francis Williamson in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, in 1752. Edward died about 1762 or 1763 in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. He had earlier, in 1755, deeded to his wife, Tabitha, a life estate on 150 acres of the plantation, and another 150 acres to John Caldwell, obviously his son. According to the available evidence, Edward and Tabitha had the following children:
Mary, b. c. 1717, Virginia; m. William Petepool.
John, b. c. 1719, Virginia; d. c. 6-1762; m. c. 1751, Sarah Wilkinson.
Anna Colvill, b. 8-10-1721, Bristol Parish, Prince George Co., Virginia."
