*********************************************************************
JAMES BANKS CADDELL, born (1730), according to family tradition came from Ireland to the
Colonies. He was first reported living during 1751 in Craven County, NC, where he married
and later moved to Cumberland County, NC by 1767. Moore County, formed in 1784, became
the home for this group of CADDELL's. Some members of the family still live in the
area. In a letter from Isaiah "Sie" CADDELL of Sanford, NC, dated 19 Jun 1933,
he stated that James (Banks) CADDELL was born in Ireland. However, I have seen no record
showing his place of birth. One researcher showed James married Catherine Black of Craven
County, NC.
Records of the National Archives, Washington, DC, listed James CADDELL's service as a
foot soldier from Craven County, NC, dated January 6, 1751, commanded by Captain Thomas
Graves, from the "district from the lower side of Sow West Crick to the town
bounds." The muster roll dated 15 Oct 1754, listed Private James CADDEL.
Deed records of Craven County, NC showed the following:
February 21, 1753, James CADDELL purchased 162 acres on the "east side of Southwest
Creek ...."
October 20, 1762, from Thomas Thames to James CADDELL, 100 acres, Book 2, page 514.
James sold the land on September 26, 1771 to John Carlton.
Craven County, NC records showed on October 20, 1764, an act of annexing part of Craven
County to Dobbs County, NC, "...a line from Southwest Bridge near James CADDELL's
to Carnegy's old field and Rattle Snake branch, then a direct line to William
Randoll's Mill on Trent River...."
James CADDELL was listed in the Craven County tax rolls for 1753, 1762 and 1764.
Cumberland County, NC records included a deed dated 3 Jul 1767 which showed James
purchased 150 acres from Thomas McLendon Jr. for a sum of £50. The records also showed
James deeded a parcel of land to John Carleton in 1771. On 18 Jan 1773, James CADDELL
proved a deed for William Richardson and his wife Elizabeth. He later received a grant of
200 acres on 24 Mar 1773.
Moore County records showed a plat dated October 20, 1767, listing James CADDELL located
on McLendon's Creek above the mouth of Tom's Creek, three miles west of the
Carthage post office.
Land was listed for James CADDLE (CADDELL), 24 May 1773, 200 acres, Cumberland County, NC,
lower side of McLendons creek, south of Deep river (north part of what became Moore county
in 1784), joining Thomas McLendon.
The 1790 census of Moore County listed the following:
John Melton Glascock - 1 male (16 ), 2 males (-16), 2 females
