I descend from Nancy Sturgill Caudill's brothers Samuel and Jordan. James D. (what does this stand for?) Sturgill and his wife Rachel Caudill are 3rd cousins. Below is how I have connected James into the family.The numbers on the left are generations, the format doesn't transfer well. I will email you privately much more information for you to review and then we can discuss the Sturgill Family more. I haven't been able to connect Margaret Cox to the correct family.
