P., MAJ. - We regret to learn from the Columbia Democrat that Maj. J. P. Caldwell, formerly a citizen of Brazoria county, died a few days ago at the residence of M. S. Munson, Esq., after an illness of five days. He had moved his family out to York's Creek in Hays county, about two years ago, where, but a few months since, we saw him in fine health and spirits, engaged in putting up a building at the foot of the mountains. We presume he was on a visit to his plantation in Brazoria county, which is not far from the residence of Mr. Munson. (Galveston Weekly News, Nov. 25, 1856)
