I am just doing research my mothers side of the family. Her mother is Edith Caudill and her father is Paul Martin. My mother told me we are descendants of Leroy Caudill. My grandmother Hattie Caudill lived in WV.
Hi, everyone - wow, that's sure a bunch of Caudill's.
I am not of direct Caudill descent (that I know about)
but am probably related to some of the Letcher County
ones as my grandmother was a first cousin of (author)
Harry Caudill's mother. My grandmother's name was
Suzie Day and her mother's family were Polly's.
I suppose you know that a lot of Harry Caudill's
books were donated to the library in Whitesburg,
including quite a few genealogy references. He
discusses possible origins of the name Caudill
in his most well-known book "Night Comes to
the Cumberlands".
(but I bet you knew that...)
Cheers, Douglas
