He recollects GENERAL GREEN,GENERAL GATES and GENERAL RUTHERFORD. STEVE CORDILL of said County made oath that he is the brother of the applicant, and knows of his personal knowledge that he served as he states,in the Revolutionary War,because he was a soldier with him. ROGER TURNER, of said County and aged 74 yrs. made oath: That he knows CORDILL served in the Revolutionary War.,as stated,that he is of good reputation.

Kentucky,who was a private in the North Carolina line for 6-months,was inscribed on the roll of Kentucky,to commence on the 4th of March 1831. Certificate of the pension was issued 7th of November 1833. (A small note MANY-MANY THANKS TO NANCY BUSTAMANTE (ROBERTS) for her great effort finding this treasure in Gov. Document on Rev. War Pensioneers,and sharing her find with me.James came to Letcher Co. Kentucky around 1805-1810. James lived in Ash County,N.C.He moved to Ky. on the Poor Fork Of the Cumberland River then later moved to the mouth of Rockhouse Creek,he was a preacher of the Baptist Church,buried in the old cemetery near his home. He fathered both James the 3rd and Sarah Elizabeth Caudill who later became husband and wife ? These 2 must be step sister and brother I made my records reflect as such till I know better. The age of James 3 is such that he could be the eldest of the first marriage.
