From the research I have done, it appears the Caudills came into Surry
County, Colonial Virginia sometime after 1641 but before 1680. I have found my ancestor
go back to James Caudill who was born in England in 1641 and he died about 1684 in VA.
His son Stephen was born in 1680 in Surry County and it says his marriage was in 1716 in
"Scotland". After traveling to Surry County, I found there is the town of
Scotland on the James River across from Jamestown. Stephen's grandfather, Thomas,
died in "Scotland" and it's my opinion that he emigrated to Colonial VA at
the same time as his son James. I'm trying to find ship manifests from the 1640s to
1680s to see if I can locate when they came to the colonies. From what I see, it appears
that many of the Caudills are descendants of Stephen Caudill.
