(18.) MARTHA HIATT (2.) (1.):b. c1760, Rowan (now Guilford). Co., North Carolina; d. probably in Hampshire Co., Va., date unknown; m. (1st). c1776, DAVID CAUDY, son of James and ____ ( ____ ). Caudy; b. place and date unknown; d. 1782-3 Hampshire Co., Va. (now W. Va.) ; m. (2nd). c178_, to _____ PUGH, parentage unknown; dates and locations of birth and death unknown.
CH: (of David and Martha Caudy). (133.) James; (134.) Evans; (135.) John.
The will of Kames Caudy was dated 2 December 1783, and proven 9 March 1784, Hampshire Co., Va. No wife is named or mentioned. He lists five children : 1. David (dec'd, wid., Martha, and ch.) ; 2. Ann Dulain; 3. Margaret Wood (hus., Daniel).; 4. Mary Kinman; 5.Sarah Hancher (hus., John). Gr. Son, John 100 acres adj. Robert Pugh and Evan Hiett. Wit., Elias Posten, John Hancher, Samuel Edwards, Samuel Cheshire, Hugh Slane. (R41).
The will of William McPherson was dated 27 June 1798, and proven 1 December 1800, Hampshire Co., Va. He names: James McPherson, James Caudy, his ch. Michael, David and Mary Elizabeth Caudy; Martha Pugh, relationship not shown; brother, David, and his son, Angus; brother Angus, and his son William. Nm.-James Fairley. Exec., James Caudy, Daniel Carmichael. Wit., Peter "Ongan", John McGinnis of Montgomery Co., Ky. Sec., Sam Park, James McBride. (R41). (nm-Names mentioned.)
James Caudy (d. 1783-4). may have married a sister to the above William McPherson (d. 1798-1800)., thus the James Caudy named in his will would have been his nephew, etc. All the Caudys of that section of Virginia appear to descend from David (only son of James, Sr.) and Martha (Hiatt). Caudy. David Caudy is given on the 1790 Census of Va. (1782 Tax List). in Hampshire Co., Va., with 9 white polls, the 1784 Tax List gives Martha Candy (Caudy). with 8 white polls, 1 dwelling, and 1 other building; she adjoined James
Hyett. These data would indicate that David Caudy had seven children; was Martha Hiatt a second wife? James Caudy names but three grandchildren in his will, however. When Martha's gran-nephew wrote up the family sketch many years later (see page 44). he gave his grandmother, Phebe Hiatt (d/o John, Jr.), as having a sister (not named). who married Daivd Caudry, and another sister (also not named). who married a Pugh. Later evidence, however, indicates that it was Martha who married both Caudy and Pugh.

Larry: I have a couple of tidbits: Martha HIETT (m. David Caudy) son of Col. James Caudy) was a sister of Evan HIETT. My tidbits are from Interconnex, with DAVIS, PUGH, etc., & the above comes from work done by Walter McEldowney, copy of which (incl. lots of charts w/notes, plus sources) is in DAVIS Family File at library in Winchester, VA. Main source: "Capon Valley, its Pioneers and Their Descendants," by Maud Pugh, reprint, Gateway Press, 1982; Earliest Settlers, Western Frederick - Eastern Hampshire Co., in VA, Their Descendants," by Grace Kelso Garner (typed manuscript that shows up in a lot of libraries),, a tidbit, p. 90: "remarriage of Martha Hiett Caudy, widow of David Caudy to -- Pugh." Poss. Jacob, Jess, John Pugh, no doc yet.). David Caudy's father James was still alive when David died. James "1785 will, WB 2, pg. 88, Hampshire Co., VA, refers to "Martha Caudy, the widow of my son David Caudy, all the land that I am now possessed of during her widowhood or single life..." and p. 109, David and Martha had 7 children, John, prob. eldest son, "named for Martha's father; Evan Stephens of Buck Co., PA" Next source: "Historical records of Old Frederick and Hampshire Co., VA" by Wilmer Kerns, Heritage Books, MD., 1991. More HIETT stuff in these books ... Would appreciate any DAVIS refs. you have re this family.
