My Great Great Grandmother was Sarah Jane Caudill, born 18 Sep 1854 - married William H. Holbrook on 14 Mar 1878. He died 7 Feb 1944. Both lived in Wilkes Co, NC; he was raised on Greenstreet Mt, Traphill Comm, Wilkes Co, NC. Sarah's mother was Jane Wood - born sometime in 1817. Her father was William Caudill - born June 2, 1815, died Mar 3, 1900,
Sarah Jane or her mother was supposed to be full-blooded Cherokee Indian. That's all the info I have about Jane Wood. If anyone knows anything else, please reply. Thanks.

Connection between Peter Franklin Caudle/Benjamin Caudle/Sampson Caudle

1957jane — 2012-05-08 08:45:48Z

Sampson Caudle is supposed to be the father of Benjamin Caudle. Benjamin Caudle us supposed to be the father of Peter Franklin Caudle. Peter us supposed to be buried in an unmarked grave in the Danforth cemetery by Stafford, Missouri. A cousin of mine says that Peter was supposed to be a hard to control child. He was supposed to have left or been sent from home around the age of 4 or 5. Personally, I would have never sent my 4 or 5 year old child to live with someone else. This is hard for me to understand. Supposedly he went to live with a Jarvis Caudle. This census is listed below. Jarvis is supposed to be an Uncle of Peter. I have never found a census with Peter ever living with Benjamin. I do see a census of a child named Peter living with a Jarvis near Rolla, Missouri. I cannot make a connection between Jarvis and the Benjamin or Sampson. I find Benjamin and Sampson around Stockton, Missouri around the year 1953. Sampson owned land 1853 east of Stockton, Missouri. I was told that he homesteaded the land.

Sampson was supposed to have married a Cherokee Indian lady, Lis Hawks. She was supposed to have been the daughter of a Chief. As I suppose all stories go. This Indian lady was supposed to have cross the Mississippi on the Trial of Tears near Cape Girardeau, Missouri. I suppose near the park named Trail of tears.

She was supposed to have had a turquoise bracelet. My grandmother spoke of this bracelet. I met a lady years later that spoke of the same bracelet. Supposedly Lis's daughter-in-law pusher down some stairs to take her bracelet. This push was supposed to have killed Lis.

In all the records that I have found about this Sampson Caudle, he moved to Stockton, Missouri near the year 1853. His wife was supposed to have been Elisabeth "Betsy" Ann Adams. I found their marriage record in the courthouse in Stockton, Missouri. I also found a Swingle lady married to a Sampson Caudle in the same court house. This group fo Caudle family have spelled the last name Cordel Caudill.

If anyone could help me with this mystery, I would really appreciate your help!

Kentucky Death Certificate at Ancestry.com lists Delilah as Dillia Caudell, d/o Delanie Gibson and Susie Combs, with Cordia Pennington being the informant. She died on 02 March, 1936 of lobar pneumonia. She is listed as married, with Jack Caudill being her husband. Burial was at Melvin, KY. She was 28 years old, according to that certificate, so b. about 1908. "Delie" Gibson had a daughter Juanita, b. in Letcher County on 16 Feb 1930. A sister, maybe?

No death certificate found for Jack. That might have been a nickname, but some people just don't have a death certificate on file.

CAUDILL Buford 1924-2011. b. Salyersville, Ky. (Magoffin County)

Lace_Lynch — 2011-09-29 13:19:56Z

WILLARD: Buford Caudill, age 87, of Willard, Ohio died Tuesday, September 27, 2011 in Georgetown, Ohio after a brief illness.

He was born on July 23, 1924 to William and Eliza (Williams) Caudill in Salyersville, Kentucky.

Buford proudly served in the Army in World War II.
He was a POW and humbly received the Purple Heart, for being wounded while serving.

If you met Buford, you liked him almost immediately. Warm, humorous, and witty described his personality. His genuine smile easily won you over. He was a man of many talents and he could fix almost anything.

Buford took Frances (Vanderpool) Caudill as his wife and was her life partner for 57 years. They lived on Greenbush Road in Willard all of their married life. She preceded him in death on July 21, 2010.

Buford was a special father to his four children, Kathy (Willard) Casto of Mansfield, OHIO, Pam Berry of Loveland, OH, Danny (Terry) Caudill of Willard, OH and Matthew Caudill who passed away on June 25, 2010.
He took great delight in his seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Buford was from a large family of seven brothers and four sisters.
He is survived by only one brother, Carson (Norma) Caudill of Bethel, OHIO.
His brothers and sisters that preceded in death were, Reva Hammond, Mitchell Caudill, Beatrice Woestenburg, Hershal Caudill, Ishmail Caudill, Wendell Caudill, Dellis Caudill, Etta Fay Caudill and Edith Grey Absher.

Buford was a faithful member of the Delphi United Methodist Church for over 30 years. He lived out what he believed as he touched the lives of all of those around him. He will be sorely missed by all.

Visitation will be held Friday, September 30 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at Eastman Funeral Home, 49 W. Main Street, Greenwich.
A funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday at the Delphi United Methodist Church, 628 US Route 224, Willard. Burial with military rites will follow at Maple Grove Cemetery, New Haven.

Words of sympathy to the family may be expressed at: www.eastmanfuneralhome.com.

Mary Caudill (1755-1835) -- Wife of Thomas Joines

jimmarien — 2011-05-20 12:42:00Z

My family tree reasearch has run into a road block. I'm hoping someone out there can help me out.

Mary Caudill was the daughter of Benjamin Caudill (1730-1776). She married Thomas Joines (1750-1834).

The problem lies in the identification of Mary's mother. Various trees on Ancestry list different mothers. I have yet to pin down, via documentation, the true identity of Mary's mother (one of Benjamin's wifes).

It seems likely that Mary's mother was Mary Elizabeth Adams but I can't add her to my tree unless I definitively know that Elizabeth was actually Mary's mother.

Does anyone out there have any official documention on the true identity of Mary's mother ?

My great Grandmother is Laura (Parsons) Blevins. She comes from the Parsons who helped found Ash County, NC. She married Rily Blevins. Their house was at the confluence of Grassy Creek and the New River. My Mother was born in their home. The Caudills were also part of the original settlers in the region. I'm sure that my great grandmother and Sue Etta Parsons are related. I will look for the Caudills father in my searches and let you know when I find him.

I saw your post from 2003, I hope you are still on ancestry. You mention the name Paul Caudill from Hazel Park Michigan. I am from Hazel Park and we graduated in 1971 from Hazel Park High School with a Paul Caudill. Right now we are working on our 40th reunion and we are try to find all of our former classmates. At the time of our 10 year reunion in 1981, Paul Caudill lived in Troy on Parkton st. in 1991 for our 20th reunion they couldn't find him. Just wondering if you know where he is or what city we could look for him in. I did see that there was a Paul A. Caudill in Kentucky with a Michigan Social Security card, but that Paul Caudill would be a year younger than us. Anything you can help me with would be appreciated!

Thank you!

Re: Jeremiah Cordell/Caudill

Lenny,
My husband, Stephen Pruitt, is a grandson of Phoebe Caudill (we’ve emailed with you before about the Caudill Cabin and other topics) but this message caused me to wonder what you have learned from DNA testing thus far. I looked at the Caudill page on Family Tree DNA, but since “earliest known ancestor” is not displayed, I couldn’t tell which sample represents your (and his) Jeremiah Caudill line.

My husband Stephen also has Stephen Caudill (married Huldah Adams) in another branch of his tree, and Abner Caudill (married Jane Adams) in yet a different branch of his tree, both of which presumably go back to James Caudill (married Mary Yarbrough). I’m not certain of the paper trail for the other Caudill connections, but DNA doesn’t lie!

Have you written up any findings yet? Any help would be appreciated!

Parents' Birth and Death Dates in Family Trees

jhjackson145 — 2011-01-02 18:13:31Z

My biggest pet peeve in using family trees is incorrect birth and death dates for parents. Some people have the parents fathering or giving birth as 5 year-olds or, even worse, parents who were born and died after their "children", some by as many as several hundred years! So please do not include these people in your trees. Thanks.
