Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Caldwell, William, 1750?-1822 : Colonel William Caldwell was a native of Ireland and immigrated to the southern colonies of America. When the colonies rebelled, he took the Loyalists side. He was a renowned border raider and a hero of the War of 1812. In May 1814, he was appointed Deputy Superintendent of Indian Affairs. His family has been closely identified with some of the most stirring events of Canadian History. Four of his sons were officers in the War of 1812. Francis Caldwell (1791-1851) became a prominent man in politics. Billy Caldwell (d. 1841) served as an officer in the Indian Department.
