  • Notes 
    • 1. Absolom Caudle sold his farm in Anson Co. in Dec. 1830 and left Anson Co. for Tennessee sometime between 1830 and 1833. He and his family lived for a short time in Coffee Co. Tennessee. The 1840 census shows Absolom Caudle and family in Henderson Co. Tennessee, it also shows him as having 11 children at that time - 5 boys and 6 girls. Jesse Caudle remembers Martha as stating that the family moved to Decatur when she was 3 years old. (abt. 1841) Absoloms Children sold his land in 1853. It is noted by Dr. TC Moss in the Caudle Family History that when Decatur Co. was formed in 1845 the Henderson Co. line was moved 3 miles west of its former location and this put Scotts Hill (apparently home of Absolom Caudle) partly in Decatur Co. instead of Henderson Co.

      After the deaths of Absalom and Mary the older married children took in most of the younger children to rear. However, Malakiah (Mack), then 14 years old, went to live with James Plunkett, who was 70 years old in 1850. Also living with James Plunket was Martha Plunket, aged 35: Ebenezer Lee and his wife Sarah, aged 28 and 25, took in Jesse and Tenessee Caudle, aged 7 and 5 in 1850.

      (The ninth chile, GIRL CAUDLE b. Abt 1837 appears in the 1840 Decatur Co. census however there is no other reference to her found at this time. It is possible that either this is a reference to Martha A. Caudle that was a double entry, or that possibly she was a twin to Martha A. Caudle that did not survive past infancy/childhood.) http://www.ronulrich.com/rfuged/nti15060.htm

      2. While living in Anson County, Absalom and Mary had 5 children. They decided to take advantage of the land grants available in West Tennessee. Hezekiah Haney, Mary’s father, decided to do the same. Absalom and Mary sold their farm to Elias Preslar in December 1830 (Anson County Deed Book X, Page 486). Hezekiah retained title to his property. Absalom, Sr. and his sons farmed the land until it was sold to Richard Caudle in 1839. Absalom, Jr. and Mary left for Tennessee in January 1831. They had an additional 8 children in Tennessee before Absalom, Jr. was accidentally killed at age 45 when kicked by a horse. Mary died a year later. Some of their children were taken in by the eldest son, Andrew, and the others were bound out.
