Bill and all,
Records of four other men I have researched show they were also born
1770-80, and served with Andrew Jackson. I suggest 2.Andrew as another
possiblity to consider, but I don't think it is a vital issue.
Here are some questions:
If Phoebe Caddell is a dtr of 1. Andrew, as I have seen listed, and if
William Caddell, son of 1.Andrew, mar Jane Green, dtr of Burwell Green
and Phoebe Caddell---- then he mar. his sister's child. That is
something to ponder.
If 1.Andrew was referred to as Andrew, Jr. in 1761 Orange Co. NC, then
that implies there was another Andrew at the same time
The only proven names of 1. Andrew's children are those named in the
deeds of gift:of land in 1785 to sons John and Andrew, and then in
1792 personalty to John and 2nd son Andrew, Unice, Martha, Jane and
youngest son William. It is interesting to think about why a man 1st
deeds land to his two eldest sons while they are minors, and then a few
years later in 1792 personalty to them and other minor children. Has
anyone found deeds of gift to any other suggested children? Has anyone
found any other documents signed by Jean the wife of Andrew Caddel other
than the deed of 1768? (in 1788 a Jean Caddel was a witness). And, has
anyone found any estate records on 1.Andrew in St Clair Co. AL, or
anywhere else?
Where do the names John Calvin, Andrew Henderson and William Riley come
from. The legal documents I have seen show them simply as John,
Andrew, Jr. and William.
Well, I have only scratched the surface of unanswered questions, but
I'll leave it at that for now.
