The following information was about my Great Grandfather. Anyone with questions or more information to add, please reply.
"JOHN B. CALDWELL was born in Jefferson township, Butler county, Pennsylvania, December 3, 1844, son of William and Sarah Jane (BEATTY) CALDWELL. His father was a native of Washington county, and a son of Dr. Joseph CALDWELL, for many years one of the leading physicians of that county. Dr. CALDWELL was a native of Scotland. William removed to Armstrong county, where he resided until 1839, and then located on a farm near Frazier's Mills, in Jefferson township, Butler county, where the remainder of his life was spent. The subject of this sketch was reared in his native township, and in 1866 settled upon the old ROBINSON farm, containing 120 acres, where he has since lived. In October, 1865, he married Nancy J. ROBINSON, a daughter of Joseph and Hannah J. (RAMSEY) ROBINSON, early settlers of the township. Joseph ROBINSON and wife died upon that farm. Mrs. CALDWELL was born in 1844, and is the mother of six children, as follows: Joseph C.; William Ellery; Sarah Bell, wife of Zeno ZIEGLER; Lynn; Orin, and Leverne F. In 1863 Mr. CALDWELL enlisted in Company B, Sixth Pennsylvania Artillery, and served thirteen months in the Union army. Politically, he is a Republican, has been overseer of the poor in his township, and was the census enumerator in 1890. He and wife are members of the United Presbyterian church."
