Notes for DAVID JESSE CAUDILL:
David entered the Confederate Army as a Captain in Col. Ben
Caudill's Regiment, and was promoted later to Lt. Colonel. He was
wounded by Clabe Jones at the Battle of Big Leatherwood. James
Calybourn Jones in his diary records his recollections as follows
(from the "Autobiography of Old Clabe Jones" as re-produced by Eagle
Printing Co., Whitesburg, KY).
"In a few weeks the Rebels went from Whitesburg to the salt wells
in Perry County. Captain Morgan and myself concluded to drive the
Rebels out of Perry and on our way we met and engaged them in a
battle on Leatherwood creek and surprised them while they were
stealing a deaf and dumb man's watermelons. There was one man killed
on each side. The Rebels were commanded by Captain Jesse Caudill, a
brave man. He was on one side of the creek and I was on the other.
He was standing behind a small tree. I was watching him closely and
as he turned to give a command to his men, I gave him a Yankee pill
from Shampee (Clabe's name for his gun) some where in his hind
quarters. We had a hot time for a while. I was unusually mad, not
because we had met the Rebels for we had defeated them, but I had
gathered up an armful of ripe pawpaws and had to drop them when the
fight began. We captured the watermelons also from the deaf man and
all their grub. We got the biggest pone of corn bread I ever saw.
It would have weighed more than fifty pounds. They had baked it in
a salt kettle and were carrying it in a coffee sack."
In 1867 David was a deputy county clerk of Wise County, VA. At the
time of the 1900 census he and Margaret were living with their son-
in-law, U. G. Pennington in Carter County, KY. Based on a story in
the Olive Hill Newspaper, David was found on the morning of April
10, 1907, hanging from his barn loft by harness reins. 63. WILLAM5 JACKSON CAUDILL (BENJAMIN4, STEPHEN3, JAMES2, STEPHEN1) was
