THE CALDWELL FAMILY.
ENSIGN JOSEPH CALDWELL (so called) came to town early, not far from 1751 or '52, and purchased the farm afterwards known as the Dea. William McNee farm, of John Taggart. He erected the first building on the farm. How long he remained in town is not known. He appears to have been a man of education, and spent his winters in teaching. It is inferred that he came from

Londonderry, as it is reported that his first children were born there. We know nothing more of his wife or chil- dren than is related here. He was chosen as one of the first selectmen at the first meeting after the incorpora- tion of the town, 1760, and again selectman in 1767 ; also moderator in the same year at three of the meetings. After this we do not meet with his name in the records. It is not exactly known when he left town, probably about 1770. It is supposed he removed to Colerain, Mass., as many of his children settled there. His wife's Christian name was Ann ; surname not known.
