Jim,

Thank you for sharing this information!!! I don't know whether or not this Joseph is mine, but I'll do everything I can to find out. I have seen many of these names mentioned during my research. I'll get busy and find out where!

From an old family Bible, I know Joseph was born in 1767 and married Susan/Susannah. I had suspected, and for the most part accepted, that this was Susannah Duff of Rockbridge Co., VA. Now I'm not so sure!!! The Bible shows Joseph and Susannah had several children. Sons were Carson, Adam William, Joseph, Hugh D., and William. I descend through Carson. Census records give his birth as 1793 in Tennessee. The Bible shows he was born in 1798. Joseph, Sr. is found in the early pre-statehood records in Knox County, Territory South of the River Ohio. By 1803, he is in Blount Co., TN. Many of his descends are still there today.

Do you have ties to the Caldwells or Lairds?

Thanks for responding Jim and for your kind offer to help.

I am a Caldwell researcher. I'm not sure where you found my name, but in November of 1999 you sent me a transcribed copy of the will of David Laird of Washington Co., VA written 9 Nov 1800 and proven 15 Feb 1803. The will mentions Joseph Caldwell, a son-in-law, who you thought might be my ancestor. At this point, I believe he is. Do you know about when this daughter of David Laird's was born? Could it possibly have been in the 1740s?
