| Notes |
- 1. In 1900, Shade and Nancy Caudle are living in Walnut Grove Twp. Wilkes County NC in close proximity to Shade's father, James Harrison Caudill, and Nancy's father, Ruffin Caudill. Shade and Nancy were cousins. By 1910, Shade and Nancy relocated just a few miles away to Traphill, Wilkes Co., NC in Wilkes County.

2. Tradition has it that Shade and Nancy eloped during the middle of the night against the wishes of the families. Shade and Nancy changed the spelling of the surname to Caudle.

3. Shade and Nancy relocated to Lunenburg County Virginia in late 1918 or 1919. Shade's son Matthew Cornelius Caudle told the family he was 18 when they moved.

4. Shade was shot to death in Lunenburg County and left on the train tracks where he was hit by a train. Matthew Cornelius Caudle states to the family that he was 23 when his father was killed which makes the year 1923 or 1924.

5. "Supposedly, he was murdered because he was running moonshine and selling more than other local men. According to my mom (Shade's granddaughter), his body was tossed on some railroad tracks. Of course the train ran over him and this was done to hide the fact that he had been murdered. Interesting enough, this story came to her from Nancy Jane. When I got in touch with Betty and Linda (who are related by Shade's son Levi), they confirmed the story. They even claim that the man who murdered Shade got in touch with Levi to come visit him as he was dying and made a death bed confession that he had killed Shade. I know Levi was involved in running moonshine and had to leave the state for about 10 years or so over it, so its very possible that he would be connected, or know of other people in the business--so, I don't find the death bed confession odd. I believe it was most likely never pursued by the law because it did involve illegal activities. That's about all I know at this point." .... Pamela Wilmoth (March 2005).
