Andrew CADDEL, according to family lore, left Scotland at the age of 14 (c1746) stowed
away on a ship to America. According to the story, he was sold into indentured service to
pay his passage. I think that he must have first arrived in PA, MD or VA. In c1765, Andrew
married Jean HENDERSON, daughter of the plantation owner to whom he was indentured. The
earliest record I find on Andrew was in 1751 Spotsylvania Co., VA. He next appeared in
1754 Orange Co., NC. He was in the area of Orange/Caswell/Person Cos., NC from 1754 until
c1804 when the family moved to Pendleton Dist., SC, and to St Clair Co., AL by 1820, where
he died.
A book has now been published on Andrew and his descendants. For informatiion, contact me
