Elizabeth Caldwell was the daughter of Robert Caldwell and Sarah Porter, born June 1835, Queens, New Brunswick, Canada. She married David Phillips on 12 November 1864, St. John, New Brunswick, Canada.
Although I have seen death dates for both David and Elizabeth, I have found no sources for those dates. David is last found in the Waterborough 1901 census, so died sometime after that. Elizabeth is living with her son Rufus and his family in 1911 in Waterborough, so died between 1911 and 1921.
David and Elizabeth were the parents of four children, all born in Queens County:
- Mary Jane, born 25 September 1865; died 6 January 1959, St. John, New Brunswick, Canada; married Wallace R. Ferris, 28 June 1890, Youngs Cove, Queens, New Brunswick, Canada
- Howard George, born 22 December 1866; died 16 March 1946, St. John, New Brunswick, Canada; married Grace Elizabeth Barton, date and place unknown
- Rufus Benjamin, born 22 March 1870; died 6 November 1956, Fredericton, York, New Brunswick, Canada; married Etta M. Stuart, 2 April 1902, Queens, New Brunswick, Canada
- Robert Riley, born 6 June 1873; died 28 April 1956, St. John, New Brunswick, Canada; married Lillian McMarr, 7 November 1896, St. John, New Brunswick, Canada
The youngest child of Robert and Sarah (Porter) Caldwell was daughter Susan. She was born 15 November 1832 and died on 15 September 1925, St. John, New Brunswick, Canada. She married William Reid on 2 November 1875, but they had no children so she has no living descendants today.
This concludes the family sketches for the children of Robert and Sarah (Porter) Caldwell of Waterborough, Queens, New Brunswick, Canada.
