    • Nicholas and Elizabeth Outhouse's first daughter was Hannah, born in 1768 in Haverstraw, Orange County, New York and died in 1851 in
      West Middlesex County, Ontario. She married John Caldwell Jr. in Tiverton, Nova Scotia in 1793. Their children were John, Elizabeth, Mary, Ezekial Robert, Hannah, Sarah Anne and Mathew.

      In 1796, John and Hannah entered Upper Canada at Fort George. On March 31, 1797, they settled in Pelham Township, Lincoln County. John and Hannah had their first 3 children baptized December 24, 1799 at Niagara by Rev. Robert Addison. The 1805 census of Norfolk County shows John and Hannah living in Woodhouse Township. John was at the time of the census was aged 40, Hannah aged 37, John aged 13, Elizabeth aged 11, Mary aged 7 and Ezekiel Robert was aged 3.

      The Caldwells moved to Charlotteville Township, Norfolk County before 1814 and then lived on north half of Lot 22 Concession 9 Westminster Township, Middlesex County on 100 acres. In 1818 they moved to Lot 30 Concession 2 of Westminster Township, and
      John is said to be the lay minister at the Methodist Church.
