Breaking News ...

The 2007 Reunion marking the 10th year of this project was a success with 75 folks registered. I will be posting a complete report, a group photo, and photos of the John Wesley Caudle civil war marker dedication ceremony.

A group photo is now available for your download and printing. If you have problems doing that, let me know.

Comcast has been "upgrading" their personal web page service. This is causing me a few update problems. Visitor counts were reset.

Right is a pastel drawing of my great grandfather's brother Marcus Newton Caudle and his wife Amanda Gillentine. On the back, the 12" x 18" drawing is dated 1867. The original is in bad condition. This image is the result of my digital photo and restoration.

Minutes of the 2005 Business Meeting in Mt. Vernon are posted.

Jeneanne Austin, 2nd great-granddaughter of James Robert and Tennessee Petty Caudle, has provided some photos handed down from that family. The picture of my grandaunt Fannie Caudle with John Nichols below right, Dec 1894, is one of those. More of those photos can be seen on Jeneanne's photo site.

Jean Tanner Munoz says that many have shown interest in the Texas First Families certificate. These are still being issued. Click on the link above or below to obtain information. Mae and Jean have offered their help to anyone wanting to file.

Amanda Gillentine & Marcus Newton Caudle
This site is provided for descendants of the James Caudle family who moved to the Republic of Texas in 1841 and other families who have members buried in the Caudle Cemetery in Erath County, Texas. These families include Atkins, Caudle, Clayton, Denton, Follis, Harman, Houk, Junell, Langston, Lawson, Petty and Warren known to have kin buried there. I hope descendants will help support the Caudle Cemetery Project, as keeping the cemetery in good shape will require at least an annual effort. The project started officially in 1997 and completed its first official milestone Saturday, October 20, 2001. At that time a group of more than 100 attended the dedication of the Texas Historical Commission marker just inside the gate to the cemetery. Don't forget to check out What's new and what's not ---- Bill Caudle Fannie Caudle & John Nichols, Dec 1894.
