Some of you may have missed the following ad. which appeared not so long
ago:
House of the Week
Big View in Big Sur
The Caddell House
What: Two bedrooms, two bathrooms in 3,000 square feet on 9.5 acres
Where: Big Sur, 35 miles from Carmel Calif.
Amenities: A portion of the lot is zoned for a second house. There is an
amphitheater overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Due Diligence: Perched on a cliff 275 feet above sea level, the
contemporary-style house has redwood beams, syone columns and unobstructed
views to north and south. It was remodeled by architect Mickey Meunnig. The
owner of record is Caddell Construction Co. of Montgomery, Ala.; the
company president, John A. Caddell, and his family use the property as a
second home. The house overlooks a sea-otter refuge and lies across Highway
1 from a state park; both are protected from development. Most of the lot's
acreage is steeply graded cliff, leaving little usable land beyond the
house. Though storms tend to wash out the highway, the area remains a
popular retreat for Silicon Valley tycoons. There are five other properties
in the area listed at more than $2,000,000. Two sales have recently topped
that mark, one a $3,200,000 house also off Highway 1.
Asking Price: $5,200,000 ; Opening Offer: $4,500,000
Nice one, John A.
Ian.

Hi I talked with the senior Mr. Caddell of the Caddell
Construction Company
not too long ago. They are the Caddells mentioned in the Wall Street Journal.
They live in Montgomery, Alabama. He remembered going, as a child, to a
family reunion in Decatur, Alabama.
In Decatur, I have always been in contact with Johnnie Caddell. He is the one
who passed the story to me about Andrew Caddell and his trip to America.
Johnnie Caddell, though elderly, still goes to his law office almost every
day. He was an interim president of the University of Alabama at one time and
for many years was on the university's Board of Trustees. He is my first
cousin. His father, a pharmacist, in Decatur was my father's brother. My
father was Carl Lamar Caddell, Sr., born in 1900 in Gadsden, Alabama. He was
the youngest of twelve children, the eldest Lela A. Caddell, a spinster and
the one I am named for. I got her first name Lela...
Back to the Caddells in Montgomery, AL. His company has constructed many
military guest houses and commissaries. I am a publisher of books, etc. which
keep up with those places for military families. That is how we ended up
talking with each other. The company does much more than that, however.
There is a website for his
company.....http://www.caddell.com/
My name is Ann Caddell Crawford Here is my website

Bob Caddell posted the following...so guess we are kissing cousins!!
My ancestor, Andrew CADDEL (CADDLE), according to family tradition was
born during the 1730s at or near Edinburgh, Scotland, stowed away on a
ship to America during the 1740s and served seven years indentured
service for a Mr. HENDERSON. Andrew was first listed in 1751 witnessing
a deed in Spotsylvania County, VA. During the 1750s in North Carolina,
major settlement began. By 1754 Andrew was employed by Major Lea and
William Churton, surveyor in Orange County, NC. He continued that
employment until at least 1762. By that time he was a landowner in the
Richland Creek and Double Creek area of the Hyco River of Orange County
which by 1777 became Caswell County and in 1791 became Person County. In
about 1765, he married Jean HENDERSON, daughter of the plantation owner
to whom he was indentured. I have a copy of a deed, dated 1768, signed
by Andrew and Jean CADDEL. Their children has been arbitrarily
reconstructed
from documents in NC county records of marriage and deed of gifts and
from descendants:
Andrew CADDEL Jr. :b. ca 1732, SCT :d. during 1820s, St. Clair Co., AL
m. ca 1765, Orange Co., NC
Jean Henderson :b. Ca 1840, place unknown
:d. during 1820s, St. Clair Co., AL
Children:
1. Infant :b. ca 1765, Orange Co., NC
2. Margaret :b. 23 Jun 1766, Orange Co., NC
3. Phoeby :b. ca 1768, Orange Co., NC
4. Elizabeth :b. ca 1770, Orange Co., NC
5. male :b. ca 1772, Orange Co., NC
6. John Calvin :b. ca 1775, Orange Co., NC
7. Andrew Henderson :b. ca 1777, Caswell Co., NC
8. Infant :b. ca 1780, Caswell Co., NC
9. Martha :b. 6 Apr 1783, Caswell Co., NC
10. Jane :b. ca 1785, Caswell Co., NC
11. Unisa :b. ca 1787, Caswell Co., NC
12. William Riley :b. ca 1789, Caswell Co., NC
13. Benjamin :b. ca 1792, Person Co., NC
Records of Margaret, Phoeby and Elizabeth CADDEL are marriage bonds.
Andrew CADDEL,
assumed to be their father, was bondsman for Margaret and Elizabeth.
Lewis Green,
half-brother of Burwell Green was bondsman for Phoeby.
I have received from an AL researcher a copy of a letter from an Ethel
Caddell
(Ethel Vernice :b. 9 Oct 1902). The letter included "a record written
in 1888
by Old Uncle Lewis Caddel copied from an older record he had at the
time" and
included the following text: "My Grandfather came across the ocean...to
North
Carolina at the age of 14 years. He was sold by Captain on ship to pay
for his
pass way over to the New World. He worked his time out which was 7 years
for
his new master and then married in...Carolina. He raised three sons -
John,
Andrew and William...." The letter also stated that Old uncle Lewis was
Lewis
Green Caddel (son of Andrew Henderson Caddel and grandson of Andrew
Caddel the
emigrant). Lewis was born 7 Sep 1824, McMinn County, TN and died 30 Mar
1905,
being 80 years of age. Lewis had five (five counting himself) brothers
- John
(Jackson), Andrew, Thomas, Lewis and Bazzie. They had an uncle John
(John
Calvin CADDEL) and Billy (William Riley Caddel). John had a son Andrew
(Andrew
Caddel :b. 21 Oct 1795 that went to Texas in 1834 and fought in Battle
of San
Jacinto). Billy had a son Andrew (Andrew Jackson Caddel :b. 5 Nov 1817)
and there
one borned after uncle Billy died, his name unknown. Andrew (son of
Billy)
moved to Ark. And we don't know what became of him." (Emphasis and
explanation
added). The reason for Old Uncle Lewis' "we don't know what became of
him" was
that Andrew Jackson CADDEL, my gr gr grandfather, during the 1840s moved
to
Tuscaloosa County, AL and in about 1854 moved to Columbia County, AR.
When the
Civil war "broke out" Andrew and his three oldest sons Burwell Green
CADDEL,
James Wylie and Andrew Peter CADDEL, all died during 1862 as a result of
the War.
After the War, Andrew's wife Mary Burchfield CADDEL packed up her six
minor
children and moved to Hopkins County, TX and, apparently, never made
contact
with the AL family again.
The only other "record" I have found that identified Andrew and Jean's
children
is a deed of gifts from Andrew dated 15 Dec 1792, Person County, NC to
his
children: John, Andrew "second son", Martha, Jane, Unisa and "to my
youngest son"
William.
The youngest son listed as child No. 13, Benjamin CADDEL has been
located only in
the 1830 census of St. Clair County, AL living with the family. It is
assumed
that he was a son of Andrew and Jean, since no others have been found
that could
be his parents. By the 1840 census he disappeared, but a female, Delila
CADDEL
with minor children was listed. Delila is assumed to be the wife of
Benjamin,
also assumed, deceased. No records have been found as to the identity of
his
minor children.
Andrew and Jean's family remained in the NC area until about 1798
through 1801,
when part moved to Rutherford County, NC and the remainder moved to
Pendleton
District, SC. Most of the family was in St. Clair County, AL by 1820.
After the
Civil War in America (1861-1865) most of the family changed the spelling
of the
name from CADDEL to CADDELL.
The only other large family group from North Carolina was founded by
James Banks CADDELL, who was a Soldier in 1751 from Craven County, NC.
By 1767 James was recorded on the original plat map in Cumberland
County, NC, which became Moore County in 1784. Part of the family
moved to South Carolina, part moved to Tennessee and Kentucky and part
to
Alabama during the 1820s and 1830s, but many remained in the Moore
County,
NC area.
