Caudle Family Photos

The following information is provided by: Sarah Caudle Edwards

1. Stephen Caudle was born 1680 in Scotland. He married Mary ???? or Fields.

Notes: Stephen appears to have lived both in New Brunswick and Halifax Counties, Virginia. He appears to have been transported from Scotland To Virginia in 1692 by a Captain Hawthorne. Three other Caudles were also aboard.

Children of Stephen Caudle and Mary:
James born 1720
Sampson born 1722
William born 1724
*Benjamin born 1730
Isom born 1732
David born 1734
Edward born 1736
Henryetta born 1738

2. *Benjamin Caudle (Stephen) was born in 1730. He married Elizabeth Unknown.

Notes: Benjamin and his wife, Elizabeth, had a number of children, but only two have been proven, Absalom and Stephen. Benjamin joined the Revolutionary Army in Chatham Co, NC. Died before 1776 while in the army. His widow was living in Anson County, NC in 1783 near her oldest son, Absalom.

Children of Benjamin Caudle and Elizabeth Unknown:
*Absalom
, born October 7, 1757, Halifax County, VA., died March 7 1846, Anson County, NC
Stephen,
died in Butler Co., Al in 1843. 

3. *Absalom Caudle (Benjamin, Stephen) was born October 7, 1757 in Halifax County, Virginia and died March 7, 1846 in Anson County, NC. He married (1) Unknown. He married(2) Elizabeth Maness, March 22, 1787, daughter of Thomas Maness and Frances Unknown.

Notes: Absalom joined the Revolutionary army in November 1775 at Cross Creek, now Fayetteville, NC. He was discharged in December 1775. He became a subsititue for John Elwell of Bladen County, NC and was discharged in July 1780. He then enlisted and served the remainder of the war. His Pension received at age 75 is erroneously filed as Absalom Candell. Absalom's "Applicaion for Pension" can be found here.

Elender
born June 9, 1788, Anson County, NC
*Jesse born Ocotber 5 1791, Anson County, NC, died abt 1860 Anson County, NC
Notes for Jesse: Jesse's date of death must be off some. He gave land for Deep Springs Baptist Church which was called Caudle's Grove at first. He was also a charter member of the church. The date I have that the church was organized is 1862. An Aunt of mine, born in 1890 and lived to be 97 1/2 says that he was called Captain Caudle because he was a Captain in the Civil War. She also states he gave land for the church.

Notes for Elizabeth: Elizabeth, wife of Absalom, is reported mentally deranged some time around 1815. She continued to live with and be cared for by Absalom. However, he did take in another woman, name unknow, by whom he has three daughters. They were probably not married even though the children bore his name and there was a 2nd family Bible. Elizabeth outlived Absalom and received his pension. There are no facts on the 2nd woman.
