Pam & Group: I've not made any progress on my HENDERSON line of Orange/Caswell/Person Cos., NC. However, I have found out new information that maybe will help. Recap: My ancestor Andrew CADDEL b. abt 1730s, SCT married (Orange Co., NC) a Jean HENDERSON, I summize abt 1765 from ages of children. I still do not know her parents. However, a close associate of Andrew CADDEL was a Major Tilman LEA and his father John LEA. Major and Andrew surveyed land together in Orange Co., NC from at least 1754 - 1762 and Andrew was executor of will for his father John LEA. I have info from a direct descendant of Major LEA who said that Major was born in Spotsylvania Co., VA and his father John was from ENG. I found in a land record of Spotsylvania Co., VA where Andrew witnesses a deed dtd 2 Apr 1751, a land transaction, from John Tyre of Albermarle County, VA to John Williamson of Spotsylvania County, VA, St George Parish, Spotsylvania County. Witness: Robert Huddleston, William Mathews, Andrew CADDEL, Edward Land. County records, volume 1, page 184. The LEAs moved about that time from Spottsylvania via Granville Co., NC to Orange Co., NC. Apparently Andrew CADDEL came with them. Andrew, first located in Orange Co., NC records in 1754 where Andrew and Major LEA did a survey of his father, John LEA's land on 30 Jan 1754, Orange County, NC. He was listed as a SCC (Sword Chain Carrier) and worked with surveyors Major Lea and William Churton. I also understand that the HENDERSON family from Hanover Co., VA and Spottsylvania Co., VA were related. Family of both counties moved to the Granville/Orange/Caswell/Person Cos., NC. In 1752 part of Orange County, NC was formed from Granville County, NC. Orange Co., NC was divided in 1777 to form Caswell Co., NC and in 1792 into Person Co., NC. The 1755 tax list of Granville Co., NC listed: Nathaniel HENDERSON & son Richard (2-0-2) (From Hanover Co., VA.) Samuel HENDERSON, sons Richard & Nathaniel, (From Hanover Co., VA.) Thomas BURDON, Negroes Tom, Peter & Lewis (4-3-7) (From Hanover Co., VA.) James TRAVILIAN, Richard HENDERSON & Negroe Sam (2-1-3) (From Hanover Co., VA.) On 25 Mar 1708, Janet (Jane) Henderson was baptized in New Kent County, VA, daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Wilkerson) Henderson of Hanover County, VA. Thomas died in 1709. Jane married a Thomas Travillian of Hanover Co., VA, and later moved to Pacelot Mill, SC. Several members of the HENDERSON family also moved there. (This is the same area where Andrew CADDEL and family moved when they left NC.) The 1755 tax list of Orange Co., NC listed: Andrew CADDLE (1-0) * - (CADDEL) William JAY & son (2-0) - (his son James JAYs daughter Mary married John CADDEL, son of Andrew CADDEL) John ANDERSON (4-0) - (James ANDERSON married Margaret, dau of Andrew CADDEL) Francis HENDERSON (1-0) - From ? William HENDERSON (1-0) - From ? Richard HENDERSON (1-0) - From Hanover Co., VA Argulus HENDERSON (1-0) - From ? James LEA (1-0) - From Spotsylvania Co., VA James LEA & servant (2-0) - From Spotsylvania Co., VA William LEA & son with 2 Negroes (2-2) - From Spotsylvania Co., VA William LEA on Cobs Creek w/1 Negro (1-1) - From Spotsylvania Co., VA John LEA with....2 Negroes (1-2) - From Spotsylvania Co., VA William LEA with 1 Negro (1-1) - From Spotsylvania Co., VA Zachariah LEA with 1 Negro (1-1) - From Spotsylvania Co., VA It is my belief that a member of the HENDERSON family from Hanover Co., VA had a daughter named Jean HENDERSON :b. ca 1745 and Andrew CADDEL married in Orange Co., NC. Andrew CADDEL may have been in Granville Co., NC, after leaving Spotsylvania Co., VA prior to Orange Co., NC or it may have been in the part that became Orange County. I have documentation that verifies that Andrew married a Jean HENDERSON. I have County records that identify Jean CADDEL in 1768 and 1788 and documented statemnts by Lewis Green CADDEL, grandson of Andrew CADDEL. Andrew and Jean had sons - John, Andrew and William CADDEL and daughters - Margaret, Phoeby, Elizabeth, Martha, Jane, and Unisa CADDEL. Does any of this make any sense. My problem is I started too late in life trying to unscramble the HENDERSON genealogy. Bill Caddell
