  • Notes 
    • 1.Mark took his family out of NC around 1869 and went to Ohio where he worked as a farmhand. Ore Knob Copper Mine was started by Ballou (sp?) as a silver mine that played out and they discovered copper. This mine is near the Peach Bottom Mine. The mine was bought by a syndicate after the Civil War. The reason that it never prospered was that it lacked access to any rail facilities. Ore had to be taken by oxen pulled wagons to the nearest refinery. Daniel Caudill died intestate in 1877. Mark returned at least once in 1891 to challenge the distribution of property. As it turned out there wasn't enough to go around. His sisters were widowed from the war and they and their children received some of the property. The largest share went to Daniel Jack Caudill, a younger brother. Source: Richard Caudill, Great-grandson to Mark Caudill.
