  • Eleanora Hunter Caldwell (b. Nov 1800) (d. 1833)
  • Marion Crawfurd Caldwell (b. 5 Dec 1801) (d. ?)
  • Eleanora Caldwell (b. 1804) (d. 1823)
  • Patrick Caldwell (b. 15 Jun 1804) (d. 1826)
  • Janet Caldwell (b. 27 Jun 1807)
  • Norman Caldwell (b. 27 Feb 1809) (d.1836)

Her husband Robert died on 22 August 1826.
