Dear Caddell et al Server members:
Here, below and attached, is the definitive (or as close as possible)
version of the Caddell family Bible from Barbados (dated 1705) family tree,
with extensions and further information, gleaned from ships records. Some of
the modern (20th c) dates are from memory, so may not be acccurate.
Unfortunately, we do not know who John Caddell (or Cadell) "gentleman" was
or where he came from, although the apocryphal story in my family was that
he was sent to Barbados as an indentured servant because he had been a
soldier captured by Cromwell's forces.
In the book, "Scotland and the Commonwealth" I found in the National Library
stacks in Edinburgh last year, a "Captain John Caddell" is listed as
captured in the sacking of Dundee in September of 1651. "John Cadell,
Gentleman" was shipped from Bristol (as were many of the Scots prisoners)
in 1658, bound to William Hayman for three years. His son Andrew was born
in 1660. The family lived in Barbados from 1658 until around 1860, when some
went to Ireland and some to England. Thye followed three professions:
either Anglican minister, soldier or doctor.
If you have any information that might be pertinent - of any generation -
please send it on to me. There are a few missing links, such as John in
1732 and Walter (whose father dies the day after he is born) in 1847. I
would very much appreciate your help. Meanwhile, perhaps this might help
with your own searches, as it it goes back into the 17th century, and there
was much immigration from Barbados to America.
Good hunting and all the best,
And thanks to Bill Caddell for the enormous encouragment and all his very
hard work!!
