Notes for Susan Elizabeth CALDWELL
The following was written by Della May (Barr) Evans.
Susan Elizabeth Caldwell, we have not found very much on the background of this little petite lady. therefore, there is room here for further additions as we continue our research. The one thing we do know is that Susan was born in Kentucky on April 21, 1828.
In our study of history we find a very colorful Billy Caldwell who was born to a British Captain, William Caldwell, and a Potawatomi woman. We do not know if our Caldwells have any connection, but it leads to a curious speculation. This Billy Caldwell was known as the Indian, Sauganash, who became a chief of the United Potawatomi bands. He became closely associated with Tecumseh, who was the Indian who united Indian resistance to white settlers in the whole area of what is now the states of Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio. After the massacre of Fort Dearborn (Chicago) in 1812, Billy assisted the few white survivors. The Indians were ultimately defeated. Billy resumed the life of a white man in Kentucky. Again - this is just an example of how your curiosity might be aroused while studying history.
To continue with facts - we find a number of Caldwells living in Henry County in Missouri when Susan married Thomas Jeremiah. Their children were all born there and Susan and Thomas lost the two oldest children to childhood diseases. Susan's life was not an easy one, and her health was never very good. The Jeremiah's moved to Idaho and then to Washington. She passed away on the homestead place. The family buried her on top of the ridge we still call Cemetery Ridge. They later moved her to be buried with Thomas at Dayton.31
