It reads that the second wife of William Crockett of Ashtabula Co., OH was Sallie Caldwell from PA. This information is incorrect. It should read that the second wife of William CROCKETT from Crawford Co., PA was Sally Ann CADWELL (Cole) widow of Ahira COLE who was the son of Ezra COLE and Mercy HADLOCK who arrived from Cayuga Co., NY. about 1826. Sally Ann CADWELL was born in Farmington, Hartford Co., CT in 1814 and came to Ashtabula Co., Ohio in 1822 with her parents Horace and Sally CADWELL who are both buried in Pandanaram Cemetery in Ohio. The CADWELL family was well represented in Hartford Co., CT from the mid 1600's and intermarried into many of the founding families. Beverly Bierman ==== Maggie_Ohio Mailing List ====
