I have John's family tree back to the 1500s. His wife, Eliza Jane Agree, descends from European royalty, and so do all of her descendants. I have her family tree back to ancient times. If you have any other questions email me directly, Lochlainn (author of the book "The Caudills: An Etymological & Ethnological Study")
