Marvel Roberta Cadle's Family Tree

Marvel Roberta Cadle was my paternal grandmother.  I'm not certain what country the Cadle family comes from, but I think it may be Scotland.  According to "An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names With an Essay on their Derivation and Import; Arthur, William, M.A.; New York, NY: Sheldon, Blake, Bleeker & CO., 1857,"

the origin of the name is probably Welsh.  Tracing Marvel's family line in ancestry.com led me to the family name in Scotland.  I'm not confident in the sources, because there isn't anything to back them up and some dates don't make sense, but the records led me to the name Caudle or Cawdor  in Scotland.  There are several articles about the variations in the spelling of the name.  One in particular I found has a lot of interesting Scottish history; you can read the whole story at : http://www.scotland-inverness.co.uk/Chatelaine/CALDER.HTM.  Here is part of it regarding the variations of the name spelling:
Various spellings of the name have been found during the period: Cadella (1000s and 1100s), KALEDOR (1295), KALEDOUER, KAUDER, CALDOR (1345), CAUDOR (1400s), CAULDER, CAWDOR, CALDER, CALDELL, CATTELL, Caddell and variations of these spellings. Others included Cadel, Cadell, Caddel, Cadwell, Caudel, Caudell, Caudill, Codel, Coddel, Coddell, Codell, Cudal, Cudel, Cudell, Cuddel, Cudell, Cudil, Cudill and Cudul.
CADDELL/CADDEL (CADELL, CALDER,CATTELL), is listed in the official Clan Registry in Scotland as a sept of the Clan Campbell of CAWDOR. The name is said to be a form of CALDER. Cosmo Innes stated in his book "Concerning Some Scottish Surnames" the "northern CALDERs and CAWDORs were distinguished as CADELL and deCADELLA even in the old Scots Chronicles and the variety CADDELL was kept permanently in the south."
CALDER, CALDELL and CADDELL have ancient connections to Caithness. CALDER and CADDELL, Caithness surnames are from CALDER or CAWDOR. CALDER in Caithness "in its older form of CALDELL (a sharpened form of CADDEL) and CADDELL, is of considerable antiquity. In the 17th century CALDELL was one of the most frequent seen names in Caithness. Some of the finest Highland pistols ever made bore the name CADDELL - made in the workshops of a family dynasty of CADDELL's in Doune, Perthshire, Scotland. The name appeared in Kilmadock parish in the 17th century and was common in Edinburgh in the 16th century. The name CADDER/KEDDER also appears to be, during the 16th century, from the village of CADDER, CADDER parish, Lanarkshire.

I'll begin the family line with the person I feel most confident is our ancestor:
David L Cadle, born 1 Oct 1797 in Clairborne, Tennessee, died 20 Sep 1842 in Van Buren, Missouri. Here is his picture:

 
He married Esther Lynch, born 20 Nov 1797 in Buncombe, South Carolina, died 9 Mar 1875 in Jackson, Missouri.



Here is her picture:







Esther Lynch was said to be the daughter of Solomon Lynch of Norfolk, VA; in a biography of her son James Cadle. Research on the Lynch family in Norfolk VA has not reached a firm conclusion. She outlived her husband by many years, living with her children in Worth Co., MO after David Cadles' death.


I found a story about their lives on ancestry.com which I'll paste here:


"The David Cadle - Esther Lynch Family

Cadle Data

 The immediate family of David Cadle has not been determined. Many researchers have suggested his father was a Zachariah Cadle [David and Esther did name one of their sons Zachariah]. There are some early listings for a Zachariah Cadle in NC. In Capt. Humphries District, State Census of NC 1784-87, a Zack Cadle appears w 1 m 21-60; 2m under 16 or over 60; 2f. A Zach Cadle was a private in Carters Co., from NC; he enlisted 19 July 1781 for a 12 month tour, and deserted 15 Oct 1782. In Feb 1816, Zachariah Cadle buys land along Davis Creek in Claiborne Co., TN. In the 1830 census for Jackson Co. MO, a Zachariah Cadle aged 70-80 appears. This Zachariah Cadle (assuming they are the same man) would have followed a similar migration to David Cadle.
Travel between TN and MO was usually done by boat. In an account of one Missouri family's travels between Buncombe Co. NC and NW MO; the trip is described as 'In his youth, (ca 1825-35) the family moved from Buncombe Co. NC to Cocke Co TN. The family moved to Missouri, coming down the Tennessee to the Mississippi River in a flatboat, then up the Mississippi to the Missouri; then up the Missouri.' It is likely the Cadles took a similar path in their travels.
David L. Cadle The first records for David Cadle appear in Claiborne Co, TN, where in 1818 David Cadle is overseer of the KY Road. He buys land in 1819 from Elizabeth Morgan and sells it in 1825 to Sally Thompson.
It seems that the Cadles (and probably the Lynches as well) moved to Missouri in the mid-1820s, as a list of voters in the general election at the courthouse in Independence, MO 1st Monday August 1828 includes: David L. Cadle, David Lynch, James Lynch, Isaac Lynch, Solomon Lynch.A David Cadle appears age 30-40 on the 1830 Jackson Co., MO census. The Lone Jack Settlement in Jackson Co., MO began in 1831/2, with Thomas McKnight, David L. Cadle, William Cox and David Dealy. The first land record for David Cadle in Jackson Co., MO is a land purchase 13 Sep 1836.
Van Buren township was re-organized in 1836, and David L. Cadle was the first constable. Later, Patterson Cadle and James Dealy (son and grandson) served as constables in Van Buren as well. David L. Cadle was clerk of the Baptist Church at Lone Jack, but the records were burned during the Civil War. It began 29 Oct 1842. David Cadle and his wife Esther Lynch are both buried in Adams Cemetery.
Esther Lynch   Esther Lynch was said to be the daughter of Solomon Lynch of Norfolk, VA; in a biography of her son James Cadle. Research on the Lynch family in Norfolk VA has not reached a firm conclusion. She outlived her husband by many years, living with her children in Worth Co., MO after David Cadles' death.


Patterson R. Cadle (David)  Patterson Cadle was the eldest known child of David and Esther Cadle, and was born while the family was still living in TN. He married, first, Ann Kincaid, daughter of Samuel Kincaid, whose family is recorded in the Kincaid Bible in the Pioneer Museum in Yakima, Washington. Patterson Cadle served as County Clerk and Justice of the Peace for Gentry County, MO starting in 1850. In 1861, he became the first County Clerk in Worth County, MO. After Ann's death, he married Nancy Ann (Packer) Groce, a widow with two children, Malissa & Norman. He resided in Worth County MO most of his adult life, and is buried in Wharton Cemetery."
Patterson Cadle was born 29 Nov 1816 in Powells Valley, Tennessee, died 21 Jun 1908 in Grant City, Worth County, Missouri.  He married Ann Kincaid, born 12 Jan 1825 in Tennessee, died 21 Feb 1865 in Worth County, Missouri.  Here is a picture of Patterson taken in 1890 at Grant City Studios, Grant City Missouri:



















Patterson and Ann's son, Samuel Preston Cadle is next in the line.  He was born 11 Sep 1857 in Missouri, died 10 Jul 1920 in Washington state.  He married Martha - I haven't found any record of her maiden name.

This brings us to Marvel's parents: Herbert Ellis Cadle, born 2 Nov 1884 in Iowa - no date or place of death is found.  He is shown in the 1930 United States Census as living in Seattle, Washington with his wife, Olive (second wife after the death of Marvel's mother, Ruby) and a 14 year old Marvel, and her siblings Arlene and Harold. Marvel's mother, Ruby Hitchcock was born Dec 1888 in Iowa, died Nov 25, 1925 in Seattle, Washington.  Herbert married Olive M. Maline in 1927.  I don't know if they had any children.  There is a record of a World War 1 Draft Registration card for Herbert in 1917 - 1918, but no information on if or how he served.  He listed his occupation as Machinist at DW Hartzell, Inc, which is listed in the publication "International Marine Engineering" in 1919 as a ship builder in Winslow, Washington.
