FYI:

The William Jay CADDELL (CADDEL) listed below, was the son of Andrew
CADDEL (1795 - 1869), William JAY was the name of his maternal great
great grandfather that married Mary Elizabeth Vestal. Some references
list William JAY CADDEL as William, William J, Willliam James and
William Jackson. I have no proof of the correct name. I have since 1960s
considered it William JAY CADDEL.

Andrew CADDEL's parents were John Calvin and Mary (JAY) CADDEL. Mary
(wife of John Calvin CADDEL)'s parents were James and Mary (Voss) Jay.
James was a Baptist Minister, born 1 Jan 1744, Frederick Co., VA and
died in 1835, Person Co., NC. He married three times. All his children
were by Mary VOSS his first wife. They married in 1764, Orange Co., NC.
James JAY was the son of William and Mary Elizabeth (Vestal) JAY of
probably Hartford Co., MD and later Fairfax Co., VA and Orange Co., NC.
