| Notes |
- In the book "Goodbye Turkey Roost" by Dan Norman which is about the Elihu Thompson family of Devotion NC. He tells how Elihu (WALKS to his house) borrows enough money from his wife Margaret Katherine Caudle Thompson's uncle "Hort Caudle" to purchase one of his sons share of his mother's property (Elihu's 1st wife Nancy Walker, Caudle) I can't find an uncle "Hort" (brother of her father Peter) I'm thinking his name would be Hartsel (called Hart/Hort) & he is who Peter Hartsel is named for......but, I still can't find him.)))
Third child Margaret (for her mother) C/Katherine (for who?) married James Elihu Thompson, Jr.
Fourth child, William Thomas ( after uncles/brothers?? William & Thomas are very common names)
Fifth child Jesse Thompson (Jesse was a common Caudle name, was there a prior relationship with the Thompsons?)
Sixth child Nancy R. (Noone will talk about her or even knows about her ) Was she retarded? Did she run away with an undesireable? Much is known about all the rest of the family & she was on two census records, 1880 age 4 &
1900 Surry County census:
Jesse Caudle age 29
Margaret P. age 67 mother B. Nov. 1832
