John Walter Caudill/Cordle?
I have been searching for this family for months and wondering if anyone here can help me.
I am still looking for the parents of John Walter Caudill, , b: May 25, 1885 in Tazewell, VA and died Nov 29, 1955 in Virginia. He married Mary Francis Elizabeth Smith, d/o Robert Richard M. Smith and Eliza Jane Brown. 1910 census shows a brother, James Caudill, living with him. Also lists a "Lou" living with him and it appears it says this is his mom.
John and Mary had 8 children:
Myrtle Mae
William Ray
Mattie Belle
Flora Nannie Lou (middle name may be Elizabeth)
Walter C.
Gladys Virginia
Dollie Elizabeth Rae
Mary Ethyl
In the 1910 census, John Walter's brother, James lives with him. James is 21 so that makes him born abt 1889. He's single.
In the 1920 census, "Lou" is not with either one of them, I assume she had died by then. John is living with his wife and children. Next to him is Jim S. Caudill and his wife Josie Brown. Josie is the d/o Samuel Brown and Sarah Rosanna Patrick. Josie is Mary's (John Walter's wife)1st cousin. I believe "Jim S." is also the James that lived with John Walter in 1910 and this is his brother, as these Brown's are also my family line. Except the 1920 census has James listed as 40 years old and it would throw the birthday off 10 years. But yes, the census could be wrong.
Next to "Jim S" and John in the 1920 census is William P. Caudill and his wife Mary? and their family. William would be the right age to be the brother of James and John, but could also be a cousin? I believe this to be William Pairs Caudill. If William is their brother, maybe Pairs is their mother's maiden name too? Anyone recognize any of this?
I would like to connect my Caudill's, but I am missing this link. Any help finding John Walter and James' parents would be great!
