The William you refer to is known by some as "William of Brunswick". There were many William's of this era in NW NC. William is thought to have been from Brunswick Co. VA. To the best of my knowledge, Wm's father remains unproven.
A fella named Eugene Caudle wrote quite a bit about this family. Faye Caudle Byrd works at the Wilkes Community College Library and she too has quite a bit on this family. She descends from Wm's brother James b. abt. 1800.
Notes I've collected on Wm. of Brunswick:
1. Pvt, 5th NC Regiment "Atkinson's Militia", War of 1812.
2. Elam J. Caudle writes, "The old house where my grandfather lived is still standing, but is in a dilapidated condition at the present time (1964) near Boonville, North Carolina. His brother, James lived about two miles north of where my grandfather settled. I don't where he was born but he lived near the James River in Virginia as a boy."
3. There is no stone on his grave, but the grandchildren say he died sometime before 1873.
4. House on Nebo Road near Union Grove Church Smithtown Road ... Ray Parker Aug. 2004.
William had a brother James born about 1800. Some SUSPECT that William and James MAY HAVE BEEN sons of Moses Caudle (pure speculation).
OTHER WILLIAMS:
William Caudill, b. abt. 1765, also known as "William of Wilkes" had one son Jeremiah Caudill although I've never seen any 'hard evidence' that this is so. Jeremiah was b. 1779 d. 1829 and was my 4th GGF.
William Caudill, b. 1803, also known as 'Grandpa Billy Caudill' was the second son of Jeremiah's. Story goes that he got mad at his dad and relocated to KY where he marries Jane Wheeler by 1823. The name spelling changes to CORDLE at one point then back to CAUDLE. He settled in Lawrence County. Very near CORDELL, KY.
I have deeds from Wilkes County dated about 1801 where a William Caudill is receiving property but never really figured out who that dude was. Like I said in the beginning, there were a bunch of William's in this period. I've never evidence that William of Wilkes lived past 1800 although I suppose he could have.
Let me know if anything here raises more questions than answers.
BTW: We have YDNA from the line of James Caudle (b. 1800) and it doesn't align well with the 'core group'. We'd love another sample especially from the line of William of Brunswick.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with William by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with William:
This merged profile of my 3x great grandfather looks great! It has the important family information which I like to know, is easy to read, and looks neat and tidy. This is my inspiration for my own emerging style.
Caudle-366 and Caudle-18 appear to represent the same person because: Caudle-366 is my accidental duplicate. Would prefer to delete, but let's merge it out. Thanks!
