General Notes: Husband - Maj. David Caldwell

---

He inherited the central portion of his father's farm, whereon his father resided at the time of his decease.

He was a major in the Pennsylvania State militia, and commonly called Maj. David, and was an active participant in public affairs of the time. He at an early age became a member of the Presbyterian Church, and was, on the 26th day of September, A.D. 1787, at a meeting of the Hart's Log congregation, selected one of a committee of three "to direct the private expenses of the congregation," and continued to act in that capacity until 1797, when a board of trustees, under a charter, or act of incorporation, that year secured, were elected for that purpose, and was in May, 1796, elected an elder of the said congregation.
