Life

David Allen Caldwell was born on 22 January 1811, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives the date without a source and the place as "Jasper, Pickens, Georgia."1 Inference Jasper is the seat of Pickens County, which was formed long after 1811, so the place may stand for Jasper County, Georgia, with which the tree also connects him; the entry should be checked.1 On 23 July 1833, in Meriwether County, Georgia, he married Aryann Owen, whose name the marriage indexes spell "Arian Owins," a daughter of John N. Owens.2 Their son John Nicholson Owen Caldwell was born in Meriwether County in May 1834, and the tree names four more children, born between 1839 and 1860.3 By 1860 the family was in Louisiana, where the census lists David Caldwell's household, with Arrena Caldwell, in the Pine Woods District of Catahoula Parish.4 He died in Catahoula Parish on 9 April 1861 and was buried that month; his Find a Grave memorial names him David Allen Caldwell.5 The tree also records a marriage to an Elizabeth Carlisle, "of Jasper Co., GA," dated only "after 1834" or "after 1835," with no source.6 Inference That marriage cannot be reconciled with his marriage to Aryann, who was still his wife in 1860, unless it belongs to another David Caldwell; it should be treated as doubtful.6
