Audrey

Marriage records of Clark Co KY also show a marriage of Robert "Cardwell" to Nanny Irvine on 23 Nov 1802, some twenty years after the above. Apparently just a coincidence.


A FindAGrave entry has Robert Jr. married to Agnes Hannah Willis to whom he married in Mercer Co, KY, 28 Nov 1786. A large family of children is included.
Robert is said to have died 1838, Adair Co.
Possibly there was more than one Robert Caldwell!
