Notes for William Columbus Caudill
Rowan Co., Ky birth records for 1878 list William C. P. Caudill, born 15 June 1878, father Able Caudill, mother’s maiden name Maryan Hall.
The name William does not appear in the 1880 census (when he should have been either almost 2 or just turned 2, depending on the census date). Probably William is the the child listed as a girl Lillian age 1 in 1880, and the census taker in 1880 misheard the name of the baby, and simply inferred the gender. Gary Lewis, from whom I got a complete family group for the Abel Caudill family, does not list a child Lillian.
His WW I draft registration card, filed 12 Sep 1918, records William Columbus Caudill, age 40, born 5 June 1878, residence 402 W. Main, Durant, Bryan Co., Oklahoma, nearest relative Edward L. Caudill, same address.
The Minnesota death index lists William C. Caudill, died 17 July 1941 in Ramsey Co.
