  • Notes 
    • John Henry Caldwell was the eldest son of Matthew Caldwell. He stayed on his father's farm until his marriage in 1871. Frances' father and brothers were coopers or barrel makers, working the ports along Lake Erie and Lake Huron. They seemed to have moved, along with Frances and John Henry, to Huron Co, Ontario before 1886, then on up the Bruce Peninsula to the town of Tara, Ontario, then to Southampton, Ontario, a few miles from Tara. Frances is buried either at Huron Co or Bruce Co, Ontario. John Henry was a woodworker and worked with machinery. He followed the ports along Lake Huron, working on the lake boats that put in for repairs.
