Caldwell baronets

The Caldwell Baronetcy of Wellsborough, County Fermanagh was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 23 June 1683 for James Caldwell, High Sheriff of County Fermanagh in 1677.

He owned Castle Caldwell at Templecarne, Co Fermanagh and also bought the estate at Wellsborough.

Sir James Caldwell, 4th Baronet fought as an officer in the Austrian Army, was made Deputy Governor of Fermanagh in 1752, elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1753 and was High Sheriff of Fermanagh in 1756.

His son Sir John Caldwell, 5th Baronet fought in the British Army in India, was Governor of County Fermanagh in 1793 and High Sheriff of Fermanagh in 1798.

^ Burke in the Corrigenda to his "A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage of the British Empire" 1848 omits Henry from the descent of the Baronetcy showing his son John as the 2nd Baronet.
