co-executor of Captain John Lea's will.

Harrison, Caswell County, NC, Deed Book G, page 22.

In you searching on the LEA family background, have you run into any
info on my ancestor(s) Andrew CADDEL? He left North Carolina in about
1804, mnoving to Pendleton Dist., SC, and was in St Clair Co., AL by
1820.

I would like to see the 1816 will of James LEA. I would like to know
more about the LEA family.
