      3.By Eugene Moore:
      The information I Have on John Michael is from Charlene Cordle Malone who is the Great grand daughter of Greenville Cordle
      Also she states there were 16 children in this family.

      John Michael Caudill (Cordial/Cordle), 1829 ~ ? & Mary Ann "Polly" Moore, 1845~abt 1912. John Michael Caudill (Cordial/Cordle) was born in 1829. He was the son of William Cordle and Jane Wheeler. He married first to Jane "Jennie" McKinster about 1848. From the Appalachia Crossroads, by Clayton Cox: "John served in the Civil War as a Union Army Scout. Per family tradition, during the war he was allowed to go home for three days due to illness of his wife. The first day he buried Jane, who died during childbirth. The second day he buried one of the twins of this birth, and the third day he buried the second twin. Then he left the other children with a relative (?sister) and he returned to war.
      While still in the army, John married a second time in Lawrence County, Kentucky, April 18, 1863, to Mary "Polly" Moore, who died ca 1912. His daughter, Nancy, related to her granddaughter, Mrs. Nancy Bassett, that her father had twenty-five children by his two wives, but several died young, and several times there were twins in the family. Sixteen of the children were by his second wife. John and Mary are buried on a hill between Cordell and Tarkiln, Kentucky." Information from Appalachia Crossroads , by Clayton Cox.
