Dave & All:
I assume that you have seen my emails re: the CADDELL-SINGLETON bible that states it is
that of James Banks CADDELL. I have
compared the bible record and what I have compiled (much of which came from his
descendants) over the last 40 years on James'
family and have come up with the following list of children. At least, this is the outline
I will be researching until I find
something better.

Notes on James Banks CADDELL:
James Banks CADDELL (resided: Craven Co. NC 1751-1767, Cumberland Co. NC, 1767-1784, Moore
Co. NC 1784-1804 where he died).
I have located and have copies of his family information from his bible (Bible, published
1756 by Adrian Watkins, His Magesty's
Printer, Edinburgh, Scotland) which verifies the above births.
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.
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."
French & Indian War started in 1754.
A 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, a deed 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, about three miles west of the Carthage post office.

Shirley,
First let me introduce myself. My name is Dave and I come from a long line
of the Caddell's. I am currently working on my family tree. I noticed the
e-mail that
Bill and yourself were corresponding back and forth. As I said, I'm from a
long line of Caddell's, starting with James Banks Caddell(b.1730, Moore
County,NC.
I am descended through James Daniel Caddell (b.1765, Moore County,NC.), which
is the son of James Banks. I saw all those names Bill was giving to you, but,
like him I could not place them in the James Banks Caddell line. The only
thing I can figure is James Banks must have not come to the United States
alone. It has been real difficult to place anybody that was with him. I have
very little information on James Banks anyway.
What I have on James Banks Caddell was he came to the United States from
Scotland, possibly by way of Ireland. He first settled in Craven County,NC.
By 1773, he had settled on McClendons Creek in what is now Moore County,NC. I
have never found anything to tell me anybody came with him .
I am going to take these names over to the Kenton County,Kentucky library
and see if anything comes up. Kenton County Library has one of the largest
setups for genealogy in the country. I will let you all know if I find
something.
Hopeful to find something,
Dave C.
