JOHN FRANCIS CAUDLE was the son of JAMES CAUDLE and MARY ELIZABETH BENSON STARR. He had a brother BENJAMIN, a sister MARIAH and a sister MARY. They moved to Ellis Co, TX in 1867 or 1868 after JAMES was killed in AR.

I have no information for the parents of JAMES CAUDLE or MARY ELIZABETH "LIZZIE" BENSON STARR except that he was from North Carolina and she was adopted by someone named BECKY STARR.

My grandmother said that 3 brothers moved from Scotland and eventually settled in North Carolina but I don't have any idea what year. The family had bright red hair.

I have information for JOHN, MARIAH, and BENJAMIN But very little for MARY. JOHN FRANCIS CAUDLE was my great grandfather.
