Joshuah (or Josephh) Caldwell

[Gordon163]

Thanks for the various helpful comments.

It is interesting that Joshuah/Joseph was in Jamaica when his son John was baptised at Galston in 1786. I supect, therefore, that he may have been abroad when he died.

Mary Boyle's father was David. There is no clue to J's father, other than that he was determined to name a son William - which might have been his father's name.

I have just discovered that there is a Jamaica on Long Island, New York.

A Joseph Caldwell and Sarah Moore married there in 1793.

I wonder if 4th gt-grandfather did a runner?

FreeREG says Galston also for that 1786 bapt.
