Looking to connect with someone researching the "CAUDILL FAMILY OF
WILKES COUNTY, N. C." and not the Caudill family that left Wilkes County
and moved to Kentucky. My Caudills remained in Wilkes.
I am trying to trace backwards 3 Caudill connections that I have:
William Sidden m. 1st about 1850 a Mary Caudill (1830 - 186?)
I do not know what family she came from
Then William Sidden m. 2nd on 28 Feb 1867 another Mary Caudill.
They called her Polly, and she was supposed to have been the niece of his
1st wife. The only clue I have on her family is that she had a sister
named Cynthia. This Mary "Polly" Caudill dates are (2 Oct 1848 - 10 Apr
1910).
Both of these Mary Caudills grew up in the Stone Mountain area of Traphill
in Wilkes County.
Another Caudill family that I am looking for is:
The Caudill Family consisting of (from the 1900 Census):
Mary Jane Caudill - b. Jan 1876
Nancy Alice Caudill - b. Sep 1879
Winnie Marinda Caudill (Mar 1884 - 1936) my great grandmother
James K. Caudill - b. Jul 1887
Renia N. - b. Jul 189?, a granddaughter
The parents of this household were:
William Caudill who is deceased by the time of the 1900 Census and wife
Martha - b. May 1853
Does anyone know anything about these Caudill families?
Can anyone get me back a generation or two?
Does anyone have any Wilkes County censuses that could do a lookup for me
of the Caudills in the Traphill Township.
Thank You In Advance,
