: Gwen, I posted in the guestbook on Sept. 16
: my transcription of a copy of John Rodgers
: letter to Elias B. Caldwell sent to me by
: the VIRGINIA HISTORICAL SOCIETY by request.
: Three-quarters through the letter John Rodgers
: writes: "...Uncle William’s widow and all that
: family went also to So. Carolina. Our friend
: J.C. Calhoun is a son of the 2nd daughter of
: that family..." I suppose this discription is
: merely anecdotal though he seems confident and
: sincere throughout this corespondence. Is it
: at all helpful to you?

: Seamus

To Seamus:

It appears that i did not respond to your message. Thank you so much. Even though John Rodgers was up in years it appears he could remember family events that took place when he was a young child. He is correct in assuming that William Caldwell's family went to SC but also in his letter he states that John Caldwell, son of Cub Creek John Caldwell also went to SC. I believe this to be incorrect and not the right "John." Through a process of elimination we found that this wasn't the "John" that went to SC. But, thank you for taking the time to send the information.
