  • Notes 
    • 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.
