Hi Tom,

One of my ancestors was a Quaker. I'm lead to believe that he converted to marry. There are some others in my line that have converted to other religions, but more in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

I'll have to check out the New Jersey line and see if I can find anything there re: my line. I haven't had much luck with it so far.

Actually, there are over a dozen cities and towns in the US named Caldwell, and a few counties, too.

John
