| Notes |
- Abstracted from "Hyde County Historical Journal",Vol.8,No.2,Fall 1984;
"CALEB SWINDELL (SR.), son of JOHN SWINDELL, SR., was married to his first wife, KEZIAH _____, by 25 August 1767. We have been unable to indentify her parents. CALEB's will dated 26 November 1790, probated February Court 1791, mentions wife, ELIZABETH, and sons, CHRISTOPHER and CASON SWINDELL. His will dictated that the remaider of the estate should be equally divided between his children after the death of his wife, ELIZABETH.
In a 1791 division of the remaider of the estate, his wife, ELIZABETH, received one-third and his heirs JESSE HARRIS, SR., THOMAS HARRIS, CHRISTOPHER SWINDELL, JAMES MASON, JESSE HARRIS, JR., ELIZABETH HARRIS, SUSANNA CARAWAN, JOHN BENSON, AND CASON SWINDELL received the remaining two-thirds divided into equal lots.
Since we know that CASON and CHRISTOPHER were his sons, this equal distribution indicates that the others were his daughters and sons-in-law in right of their wives."

Notes
0 Text in red represents information obtained from the internet (family trees etc) which I have not yet confirmed.
1 The spelling adopted is that of the 1790 census
2 There is room for confusion between Caleb Sr., son of John, Sr., and Caleb, Jr., son of Josiah.
3 1761 On the south side of Mattamuskeet Lake, Hyde County e
1786 Living in Capt. Cason Gibbs' district, Hyde County, Feb 1786. 1 WM 21-60, 3 WM <21 or >60, 2 WF a (NB not 1784).
1790 Living in Hyde County, North Carolina with one female, one adult over 16, one under 16. (Ancestry has incorrectly indexed this and 14 other entries as Carteret County)
4 The 1786 census corresponds to Cason, three sons and two daughters. Possibly a son-in-law was living on his land. It does suggest that the other daughters were living away from home, ie probably of marriageable age, by 1786.
5 The birth date in reference #b is only one month away from the better attested birth date for Caleb's brother Zedekiah.
6 Caleb was a private in the Hyde County Regiment of Militia 9th September 1775. f
7 Emory Swindell is listed as a son of Caleb in one family tree I have seen but the name did not come into the Swindell family until Robert, Caleb's nephew, married Sally Emory in about 1780. Caleb is unlikely to name a son with the surname of his nephew's wife.
Some other family trees suggest Caleb as the father of other children of Roberts - Oliver, Samuel Lindsey and Thomas D.
8 There seems to be evidence for identifying Keziah as Keziah Webb.

...
Jesse HARRIS (Sr.. or Jr..?) was married to Eleanor, presumably the daughter of Caleb SWINDELL (Sr.) Jesse HARRIS died circa 1795 and at May Court 1800, Elany HARRIS was bound to Elizabeth SWINDELL (relationship unknown) until the age of 18 to learn the trade of spinstress. In 1801, the estate of Jesse HARRIS was divided to Micajah, Cason, and Joseph HARRIS. At February Court 1801, Cason SWINDELL, brother to Eleanor HARRIS, was appointed guardian to Cason, Abey, Elana, and Micajah HARRIS.

In the N.C. Archives are several Swindell Wills and some Inventories (with no Will) of some of their Estates. There are two who pose a problem. Am hoping that someone can help us separate the two Calebs.
1791 Inventory of Caleb Swindle shows Lot #'s for the benefactors of his Estate. There are two Swindell males who each received a Lot (certain items including household goods and cash). One was Christopher and the other Cason.
Other persons receiving Lots appear to be sons-in-law.
1805 Will for Caleb Swindell names his children: Jean, Nanna, Abram,Caleb and youngest son Peledge. Wife Mary.
Which of these Caleb's was John Swindle Sr.'s son? If the 1791 Caleb was the son of John Sr. then who is the 1805 Caleb? And vice versa.
Appreciate any and all help!

According to the information I have, the 1791 Caleb is the son of John Swindle Sr. and Mary McPherson. The 1805 Caleb is the son of Josiah Swindle and Esther Balance (the mother might be wrong), and would therefore be the 1791 Caleb's nephew.

I omitted information on the 1791 Inventory of Caleb Swindell. One third of the estate went to Elizabeth Swindell which was the usual portion for a wife, so I am assuming that Elizabeth was the wife of Caleb of 1791?
