Caddel Cemetery

Pearl and I met with Tonya (my sister) in Bell County Texas to visit our Great Great Grandfather (Captain Andrew Caddell) grave site. Captain Andrew Caddell fought in the Battle of San Jacinto against Santa Anna who had just taken over the Alamo Mission. The state of Texas granted Captain Caddel 4,700 acres of  Texas land in 1835 for his service in that battle. The state of Texas also placed a large memorial headstone on his grave site around 1936 in memory of  Captain Andrew Caddell's service in fighting in this battle and for Texas Independence.

The current land owners Robert and Karen Rance who graciously gave us a tour of the cemetery and they have taken great care of the land and the cemetery while in their possession for the last 22 years. I have posted my family tree information on the Ancestory  dot com Web Site back around 2001 and have updated it on occasion as we have found new information. This video has sections of my family tree going back to 1590 and have put pertinent parts of that family tree in this video.

I hope you enjoy the Caddel Family Tree as well as the Captain Andrew Caddel Cemetery. It is a beautiful piece of land it is located on

    Hey SIS
    It was a lot of fun for us too, just wish Steve could have joined us as I know he would have loved it. Hopefully Robert and his cousins can put together a Caddel Reunion so we can all get together for a couple of days.
    Love Ya

    So cool, it is great that you have put in so much work to preserve all of this information for us "youngsters."

    Love you pops.
