159	1.By 1769 James Sr. was in Granville Co., NC associating with a contemporary named Isham. In 1790 in Chatham Co., NC. (From the Cordell Clippings, No. 8, Jan. 1993, Pg. 21). ______________________________________________________ 2.James appears on the 1752 Lunenburg Co., VA, Tax List which would indicate he was 21 years old, or older, being of military age. The 1784 North Carolina census states he was over 60 years of age thus born before 1724. Neither James nor his sons are listed in the 1782 Wilkes Co., NC, Tax List, yet his sons, James Jr. and Stephen served in the Revolution from Wilkes Co. in 1780. A James Coddle bought 140 acres on November 2, 1784, from Benjamin Morgan for 50 pounds (Wilkes Co. Deed Book A-1, Page 452). The land was located on Sandy Creek, near the Fork of Brush Creek on the Middle Fork of Roaring River. It ran west to Hamons Creek including an improvement made on this land by Henry Gambrill. The following minutes of the Old Roaring River Baptist Church of Wilkes Co., NC, may apply to James Caudill, Sr., and his wife Mary, or it is possible that it applies to his son James Caudill, Jr., and his wife Mary: * Saturday ye 12th of July 1787: The Church setting to order Bro Thomas Morgan & Sister Morgan joined by letter and also Bro James Caudill joined by experience. * Saturday ye 8th of September 1787: Also the Church setting to order and etc. As also the Church recvd Bro James Caudill into fellowship and he was Baptised. * Saturday ye 13th of July 1788: Also Sister Mary Caudill joined by experience and Baptism. * Saturday ye 12th of August 1790: The Church setting in Order the Church thought proper to deny James and Mary Caudill Fellowship for telling big storys such as Church could not credit and then refusing to hear Church. * Saturday ye 12th of August ????: The Church setting in order, and etc. Also the Church delt with Bro James Caudill for saying he read three chapters by head and that he thought he could read the Testament without the book, and that he retained that notion for near twelve months, the church could not disprove, and so concluded to lay it over and look to the Lord and try to get better satisfied. ______________________________________________________ 4.James CORDILL deed of gift, goodwill toward his son, Abner CORDILL 3 Nov 1799; land described as lying on the middle fork of Roaring River known as Sandy Creek...HAMMONs Creek.

172	1.David "Uncle Dave" Maggard was an old regular baptist minister, far mer, blacksmith gunsmith, trap maker, tax commissioner of Letcher Co. and a member of the home guard during the Civil War. He had his casket made of popl ar and laid down in it to try it out for size, then he had it placed in his be droom. David M. Maggard, the second son of eight children, was born only a short distance from the spot where he lived and passed his last days. As a young man of twenty, David became a member of the Old Oven Fork Church. His members hip remained there until the day of his passing, more than seventy years. He w as affectionately called "Uncle Dave" by everyone that knew him. A few years a fter his admission into the Church he was ordained to the ministry, in which he served for sixty-three years. At the time of his death he was pastor at the Indian Bottom, Big Cowan and Oven Fork Churches and moderator of the Indian Bottom Association. In 1859 he married Sarah Mullins and to this union ten chil dren were born. Their descendants are scattered across the United States. They also have Great-great-great-grandsons who have become Ministers in the Old Regular Baptist Church. _______________________________________________________	MAGGARD, David M. (I3285)
173	1.David appears to be living with his father at his home in 1910. Refer to 1910 Census of Wilkes Co., NC Walnut Grove Township, House #173.	CAUDILL, David Newton (I1096)
174	1.David entered the Confederate Army as a Captain in Col. Ben Caudill's Regiment, and was promoted later to Lt. Colonel. He was wounded by Clabe Jones at the Battle of Big Leatherwood. James Calybourn Jones in his diary records his recollections as follows (from the "Autobiography of Old Clabe Jones" as re-produced by Eagle Printing Co., Whitesburg, KY). "In a few weeks the Rebels went from Whitesburg to the salt wells in Perry Co.. Captain Morgan and myself concluded to drive the Rebels out of Perry and on our way we met and engaged them in a battle on Leatherwood creek and surprised them while they were stealing a deaf and dumb man's watermelons. There was one man killed on each side. The Rebels were commanded by Captain Jesse Caudill, a brave man. He was on one side of the creek and I was on the other. He was standing behind a small tree. I was watching him closely and as he turned to give a command to his men, I gave him a Yankee pill from Shampee (Clabe's name for his gun) some where in his hind quarters. We had a hot time for a while. I was unusually mad, not because we had met the Rebels for we had defeated them, but I had gathered up an armful of ripe pawpaws and had to drop them when the fight began. We captured the watermelons also from the deaf man and all their grub. We got the biggest pone of corn bread I ever saw. It would have weighed more than fifty pounds. They had baked it in a salt kettle and were carring it in a coffee sack." In 1867 David was a deputy county clerk of Wise Co., VA. At the time of the 1900 census he and Margaret were living with their son-in-law, U. G. Pennington in Carter Co., KY. Based on a story in the Olive Hill Newspaper, David was found on the morning of April 10, 1907, hanging from his barn loft by harness reins. Brian K. Caudill.	CAUDILL, David Jesse (I3734)

176	1.Deacon of Oven Fork Church. One of the founding members of the Oven Fork Church, 1810. ______________________________________________________________ 2.http://penningtonresearch.org/family_groups/fg2000-28.html: William Pennington was born on November 3, 1765 in NC. (1) He died about 1844 in Webbville, Lawrence Co., KY. He was buried in Webbville, Lawrence Co., KY, Webbville Cem.. Source: Elmer Boggs, Pennington Pedigrees 17-2, p. 29 & 33 Death: Entry in Pennington/Lester Bible held by Paul Lafayette Webb, II, (note: address and phone number deleted by Gene Pennington, Research Director) (from Pat Starzer). Pennington Pedigrees 8-2, p. 36: When Fred Sawyer wrote that he had proved the father of Elijah to be William, and not John, as they had formerly supposed, I wrote asking him to give us information of this William. According to census, William was born 1763, South Carolina, and married Abigail Caudill born 1767, Wilkes Co., North Carolina. I will quote from Fred's letter now: "I have just come upon a bit of information that places William in Lee Co., Virginia, for a time: Lee Co. Deed Book 2, p. 207-23 September 1805. William Shepprd and wife Una deeded to William Pennington of Lee Co. for $50 a parcel of land in Lee Co. on North Fork Powell River being dated 28 June 1886. On 25 June 1811 William Pennington of Knox Co., Kentucky deeded to William Sheppard of Lee Co., Virginia for $50 a parcel of land on North Fork Powell River -- 100 acres (note description of land is the same). Thus we know that he was in Knox Co. as early as 1810, as he was in the 1810 Census there. Note that the Census checks with the date in the Kelley Bible (Pennington Pedigrees 8-1, p. 36). The death record of William's daughter Rebecca McHunter gives her birth as 1794, Lee Co., Virginia, which places William there on that date. In Harlan Co. Records, I find Early Court Order Book A (Knox Co. became Harlan in 1819) William Pemberton p. 21, 1801; p. 182, 1805; p. 193, 1806. William Pennington p. 537, 1815. Knox Co. grants are described as follows: 18 acres Oven Fork, Poor Fork Cumberland River 1814; 100 acres Clear Fork Cumberland River 1816; 50 acres Forks Cumberland River 1818; Harlan Co. 100 acres Forks Cumberland River 1823 and 50 acres Poor Fork Cumberland River 1826. The Harlan Tax Records show William Pennington, Sr. taxed 1820-1832; William Jr. 1824-1832; James 1820-1832; AAron 1821-27; Micajah 1824; Alfred 1831. No tax books for 1832, and no Penningtons by 1833 (some moved in later). In Lawrence Co. Deed Books William got land 1832 on Dry Creek (Sr. or Jr.), then William Jr. received land on Little Sandy 1843 (William Sr. died 1840). Other sons of William Sr. bought land in Lawrence Co.; Abel 1832 on Little Sandy; also 1833. Sometimes record mentions they were from Harlan Co.. William Sr.'s son James died in Lawrence Co. 5 Oct 1854, age 56, blacksmith, son of William and Abigail. Pennington Pedigrees 13-2, p. 38: William and Abigail were known to be founders of the Oven Fork Church and the Blaine Trace Church in Kentucky. They may have been sent by a northern church to found a church community. They were members of Washington Association of Regular Baptist. A glance at their church minutes shows a great likeness to Quaker ways. It is obvious that religion was their life. William and Abigail moved from Wilkes Co., North Carolina to South Carolina where their first two children were born: Mary in 1786 and Abel in 1789. In the 1790 census of Pitt Co., North Carolina, a Wm. and Abby are listed. This seems odd as only heads of households were listed. Census takers did some odd things. William next appears in Lee Co., Virginia for several years. Elizabeth b. 1792, Rebekah b. 1794, John W. b. 1796, James b. 1799, William b. 1801 (d. 1801), Abigail b. 1803 and William Nelson b. 1806, were all born in Lee Co., Virginia. Their land deed showed William purchased land on the Powell River in 1805. He sold this same property back to William Sheppard in 1811. By then he had resided in Knox Co., Kentucky for 2 years. Here in Knox Co., Alfred (Alford) was born in 1809, Elijah was born in 1812 and Elisha in 1816. William received land grants on the Poor Fork of the Cumberland River. Then in 1820 this part of Knox Co. became Harlan Co.. The 1821-31 tax list shows William as paying on a great deal of property. In 1832 he sold his land and moved to Lawrence Co., where he purchased land on Dry Creek and Little Sandy River. William died in 1844 at the home of his daughter, Elizabeth Webb, and is buried in Webbville Cemetery along with most of his children.. His sons William, James and Jonathan all took up land grants on Blaine Trace, Elliott Co., Kentucky. He was married to Abigail Caudill (daughter of James Caudill II and Mary Adams) on February 9, 1785 in Wilkes Co., NC. Abigail Caudill was born on March 27, 1767 in Wilkes Co., NC. (2) She died in Webbville, Lawrence Co., KY. She was buried in Webbville, Lawrence Co., KY, Webbville Cem..
