Hi, I am working on the Caudill family tree and I'm trying to sort out some of the relationships.
I found several Ashe/Alleghany deeds that seem to involve the land of William Moxley who died in 1842. It appears that a number of different people (including Samuel Caudill, Malachi Caudill, and Hugh Caudill) sold their interest in the property to Alfred Moxley. Now, presumably these were all heirs of William Moxley, but for the life of me I can't figure out how the Caudills are related to the Moxleys. If anyone can enlighten me, I would greatly appreciate it!
The deed in question:
Feb. 2, 1851. Zachariah MOXLY, Thomas MOXLY, Samuel Caudill, Malachi Caudill & wife Sally, Hugh Caudill & wife Elizabeth, Richard BILLINGS & wife Mary, & Calvin BLEVINS, to Alfred Moxley, 2 tracts of land, for $135. 1st tract: 100 acres on south side of Bledsoes Ridge on James MAXWELL's line. 2nd tract: 50 acres on Little River on LENORS [LENOIR's] corner & James MAXWELL's line. Signed: Calvin J. BLEVINS, Sarah (X) Caudill, Hugh Caudill, Elizabeth (X) Caudill, Zachariah (X) MOXLY. Wits: Hugh M. STAKS, Samuel D. CAUDILL, Thos. CARR. Proved Sept. 27, 1869, by Thos. CARR. Alleghany DB 1:432
Other deeds that may involve other interests in the 100 acre tract referred to above:
Sept. 1, 1842. Enoch PASSMORE, Thomas PASSMORE, William PASSMORE, Zachariah PASSMORE, & Nancy PASSMORE, all of Macon Co., NC, to Alfred Moxley of Ashe Co., NC, 100 acres on Little River being the land where William Moxley lived & died, on south side Bledsoes Ridge adj. James MAXWELL's west line, for $12.50. Signed: Enoch PASSMORE, Thomas PASSMORE, William PASSMORE, Zachariah PASSMORE, Nancy PASSMORE. Wits: B. EDWARDS, Richard BILLINGS. Proved by B. EDWARDS [no date]. Alleghany DB 1:449
Mar. 6, 1843. Richard BILLINGS & wife Mary to Alfred Moxley, 1/7 part of a 100 acre tract formerly owned by William Moxley, on south side of Bledsoes Ridge adj. James MAXWELL's west line, for $100. Signed: Richard BILLINGS, Mary (X) BILLINGS. Wit: B. EDWARDS. Proved by B. EDWARDS [no date]. Alleghany DB 1:439
May 26, 1849. Nathaniel Moxley to Alfred Moxley, 100 acres on Little River where William Moxley lived & deceased, on the south side of Bledsoes Ridge adj. James MAXWELL's west line, for $12.50. Signed: Nathaniel Moxley. Wit: Zacheriah Moxley. Proved by Z. MOXLEY [no date]. Alleghany DB 1:448
