On the tax list for Montgomery County in 1805 and 1806 are these people(list appears to be
arranged by location rather than alpha--am assuming that they are neighbors)
Dist 54; 1805
Hall, Enoch, l poll tax
Cauley,George, l poll tax
Cadwell, Micajah, l poll tax
Phillips, Mark Sen. l poll tax
Hall, John l poll tax
Batson
Bishop
Hall, Sion
1806 list is much the same listing, but for Mary Miller being listed as grantee for
Micajah Cadwell's land.
Has anyone ever explore the possibility that this Micajah Cadwell could be the father of
Charlotte (husband R F Burch; Rebecca (husband Abel T Wright); Margaret (may have married
a Hamilton)? In 1812 Micajah Cadwell was in Laurens Cty when he place a legal notice
cautioning anyone doing business with his wife Priscilla, as she had left his bed and
board. In the Burch books by Marilu Burch, Allen Cadwell was father to Priscilla, Rebecca
and Margaret with their mother being a Cauley who had a sister, Nancy Cauley, that married
Lewis Hall.. Rebecca Cadwell Wright named one of her sons Micajah and a dau Priscilla.
Could this Priscilla, wife of Micajah, be the Cauley that was mother to Priscilla
(Wright), Rebecca (Burch) and Margaret?
Could this Micajah be Micajah Allen Cadwell?
I find a Micajah Cadwell age 75 on the 1850 Ala census:
1850 Conecuh Ala
755 Micajah Cadwell, 75 NC
Mary A 44 SC
Mary A (13 or 18) Ga

Martha A 6 Ala
