Where are they buried? I found Josiah Caudill in the 1870 census for Laurel Springs, Cranberry Twp, Alleghany, NC, family #67 Caudill, Josiah 57 Elizabeth 58 Fanny 25 (might be 20, hard to read) Aris 15 I also found him listed in the 1860 census for Gap Civil, Alleghany, NC, family #326, all born in NC. Josiah Caudle, age 47, M, Farmer Sallie, age 21, F William, age 19, M, Laborer Columbus, age 17, M, Laborer Henry, age 13, M Fanny, age 11, F Aris, age 6, M Fariba? Caudle, age 20, F, Dometic 2 families later, I found the following for John Hollaway Family #328, page 44, census date 18 Jul 1860, all born in NC John Hollaway, age 34, M, Farmer Patty, age 30, F Reid, age 12, M Isaac, age 10, M Amanda, age 8, F Polly, age 6, F Jacob, age 4, M I think these are probably Polly's parents. There is a listing in the 1870 census, close to the Josiah Caudill family for a Patsy Holaway, with daughters Mandy and Perlina, but no husband. I think this may be the same family. Since there is no wife listed for Josiah in the 1860 census, and a wife named Elizabeth in the 1870 census, I'm wondering where Matilda Waggoner fits in. I saw the photo posted by Janet Crain of Matilda, and was quite amazed, since I have the same photograph hanging on my wall. The back of mine says the person is Polly (Holloway) Caudill, taken in 1918. This is not necessarily accurate, since the photo is a copy from a great granddaughter of Polly Caudill, and according to my information, both Polly and Matilda were deceased prior to 1918. If anyone can shed some light on this mystery, please do. Cherie
