| Notes |
- 1.William operated a general merchandise store in Manchester, KY, and was elected to the Kentucky State Legislature as a Senator from the 33rd Senatorial District and served from 1883 to 1887.
In 1902 he moved to Hobart, OK, where he operated the W. J. Caudill & Sons Store. He was a 32nd degree Mason, served in the Oklahoma Constitutional Convention in 1906 as a Democrat delegate from District 50 of Kiowa and Greer counties, and served as Oklahoma's first law enforcement officer. He was also a farmer, banker, and a Baptist.
The 1882 tax list of Clay Co., KY, lists William as the owner of two town lots in Manchester, a stock of mules, cattle and hogs, and a store valued at $2500. He must have sold the store in 1882 as subsequent tax lists do not list a store, but do list a town lot, 900 acres, mules, cattle and hogs.
It is said that William, being a man of Staunch mountain spirit and independence, upon having his word disputed during a session of the Oklahoma Convention, promptly floored the gentlemen across the floor, with his ink well. The old 33rd Senatorial District from which he was elected in 1882 consisted of Clay, Floyd, Harlan, Letcher, Martin, Perry, and Pike counties of southeastern Kentucky.
