Cauldwell, Ebenezer, a prominent Baptist layman of New York, was born in England in 1791 and died in New York in 1875. He came with his father in early life to New York, and engaged with him in merchandising; and securing the entire business of the firm on the death of his father, he built up a commercial house without a superior in his line. When a lad he was converted, and joined the Oliver Street church, and became one of its most efficient members. He was chosen a deacon of his church, and a member of the board of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, and its treasurer. He gave liberally to its funds, as he did to all other enterprises of the Baptist denomination. He was one of the founders of the Hope Chapel Baptist church, which, about 1850, built a house on Broadway. A few years later the church erected a large edifice on Twenty-third Street, and changed its name to the Calvary church. With this community, he held the office of deacon while he lived. He was a Christian without blemish, dear to all his Master’s servants who knew him. From the Baptist Encyclopedia by William Cathcart
