John Caldwell lived in Fairfield Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and although the orders are addressed to "Major Caldwell, Ligonier" it is apparent that many of the names in the list are of Fairfield origin. There also appear to be many names from neighboring Ligonier Township. [note: in the lists below, several of the men have ages listed next to their names; I have used the format "name, age" where in the original it was arranged in table format. Additionally, spelling has been preserved as per the original document. Where words were indistinct, asterisks are given either to replace a word or to show that the word is unclear.] ____________________________________________________________ [begin] MAJOR JOHN CALDWELL'S LIST OF THE CAPTAIN'S RETURN OF THE MEN DRAFTED OUT OF THE SIXTY THIRD REGIMENT OF THE FIRST BRIGADE OF THE THIRTEENTH DIVISION LIEUT.
