I am trying to find the parents of the above James M. Caywood. He was born in Kentucky
according to Census records - he was in MO by 1862/63 when he served with the Union Army
during the Civil War. He married in 1866 Martha McCall in Pettis Co., but lived in Benton
Co., MO.
I found a large group of Caywoods in Fleming Co. and a few scattered else where in
Kentucky during the 1860 Census, but haven't started through the 1850 Census yet.
James had 3 children -
1) Thomas Hannbal, b. 1868, married, had 3 children & died by 1894. (Children were
James Wallace, Susanna Martha, m. Louis Lester Little, McKinley)
2) Susan E. Martha, b. ca 1870, married George D. Green
3) Nannie L., b. ca 1872
4) James M., died at age 4
5) Daniel, b. ca 1876
6) William H., b. 1879
7) Berthey, b. 1883
8) Netty, b. 1885, m. George W. Arnett
9) "unk. dau. of James M. Caywood", b. 1886
In 1900 Census, Martha stated she had 8 children with 5 still living - so I am willing to
bet child #9 was a "still birth". I know that Thomas and James were dead by
1900, and William, Berthey and Netty were on the 1900 census so I am not sure which of the
other children had died.
I have finally found one descendant of Thomas, would like to find other descendants of
this family plus the ancestors of James M.
