Facts and Events
There is conflicting information on this John Caldwell. Some sources claim he married Jane Kennedy (probably a different John Calhoun), and other sources claim he married Martha Calhoun abt. 1739 and later married Margaret Ewing. Many dates seem to be mixed up between the other John Caldwell. More research is necessary.
