James Caldwell (d. 1834)
In 1825 Associate Justice Bushrod Washington voted for William Griffith over James Caldwell as clerk of the U.S. Supreme Court.
James Caldwell, eldest son of Elias Boudinot Caldwell, was born in Washington, D.C. He served under his father as deputy clerk of the U.S. Supreme Court until the latter's death in 1825. Although James was then considered for the post of clerk, the job ultimately went to William Griffith. James Caldwell died on 5 January 1834 in Bladensburg, Prince George's County, Maryland.
