History of Elliott County, Kentucky, 1869-1990, Vol. II
Vet. Revolutionary War Kings Mountain. Left Virginia ca. 1780 to Wilkes County, NC. James and his family eventually settled in Perry County, KY (now Letcher County). A Kentucky Highway Marker honoring James was erected on Kentucky Route 7, near the small cemetery where he is buried. The Marker reads as follows: "James Caudill, born in Virginia in 1753, first came to Big Cowen Creek in 1781. Because of Indians, he took his family back to North Carolina. Returning here in 1792 with his family, he built a cabin, stayed several years then went back to North Carolina. They settled here permanently in 1811. He was progenitor to a large widespread mountain family. He died in 1840." He died saying that he did not want his dust to mingle with another's soil. He was buried on his own land on Rockhouse Creek, in Perry County, KY (now Letcher County).
