We have a YDNA sample from this line and can state that he (Jeremiah) shared a COMMON
ANCESTOR with the Caudill's. As far as possible father goes, I'm not aware of any
hard evidence.
Bond Number 000164719, North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868. Marriage of Jeremiah
Cordell and Elizabeth Riggans. June 28, 1928.
The bondsman was John W Beaty and witness was R Martin. The bondsman is essentially
guaranteeing that the groom is entitled to marry so you can reasonably deduce that John
Beaty knew Jeremiah Cordell really well. He could have been a good friend of the Riggans
family and willing to stand up for Jeremiah I suppose.
Looking at the one JEREMIAH CORDELL descendant sample we have, the YDNA aligns nearly
perfectly with descendants of Jeremiah Caudill (b. 1779) and those of Jesse P. Caudill (b.
1795).
