Stephanie had a small family tree online, but I didn't see any connection just yet. She has a lot of early Massachusetts ancestors, as does my mother.

DNA: Mom's Cousin Stephanie
Another 23andme match for my mom, Stephanie, was predicted to be a 3rd to distant cousin, but doesn't share any DNA with me. She matches mom on chromosome 16, 1 segment, with 0.22% shared.

Surname Saturday : Caldwell
The CALDWELL surname is in my maternal line. The origins of the surname are likely Scottish, and there is much more research needed.

DNA: Dad's Cousin Jonelle
Another recent match at 23andMe that had a nice family tree prepared was dad's cousin Jonelle, who was predicted to be 3rd to distant cousin, with 0.22% DNA shared on only 1 segment.
Jonelle has a pretty extensive tree linked to her profile from MyHeritage, but I was not able to find any surname matches. She did have quite a bit of Dutch ancestry, and dad has some Dutch that hasn't been fully researched. Will continue the conversation with Jonelle to see if we can find a connection.
Jonelle does not share any DNA with me.
