Jean,
I am very interested in your James BANKS. It appears from you post they
were in Prince George Co., VA and Sussex Co., VA. during the early
1700s.
I have a James Banks CADDELL who first appeared in the 1750s as a
unmarried soldier in Craven Co., NC. It has been reported he married a
Mary COLE during the 1750s. By 1767 he was in Cumberland Co., NC which
in 1784 became Moore Co., NC where his family line settled and raised
many descendants.
I have been trying to find a CADDELL - BANKS connection.
Based on Scottish naming patterns an uncle or grandfather could have
been a James BANKS.
I have records of CADELL, CADEL, CADDELL, CAUDELL, CADLE, CATTELL, all
variations in the spelling of CADELL/CADDELL in the Prince George/Sussex
Cos., and several other aread of Virginia.
My family line whose allied families were GREEN, LEWIS, JAY, ANDERSON,
JOHNS, LEA and HALE were from similar areas in Virginia.
Does any of the above look familiar?
Bill Caddell
