James Caudy, grandfather of Margaret Henshaw, was an Indian fighter who helped pioneer western Frederick and
eastern Hampshire counties, where he owned hundreds of acres of land. At Caudy's Castle, a magnificent rock formation in
Hampshire County, WV, he singlehandedly fought a band of Indians, throwing them off one by one, 50 feet above a 450 foot
cliff overlooking the North Mountain and Capon Rivers. In 1748, with Joseph Edwards, he surveyed 400 acres and 358 acres
on Great Cacapehon and Dillings Run. He also owned other land on McCoy's Ridge and Timber Ridge. In 1755 he hosted
George Washington and his party as they returned from an expedition to Ohio. On September 22, 1756, Lord Fairfax granted
him 103 acres in Frederick County, which Caudy sold to James McGinnis in 1779 for 500 pounds. His 1783 will, witnessed
by his son-in-law John Henshaw (130), left all his remaining land to the widow of his son John Caudy. His daughter Sarah
Caudy was the grandmother of Samuel McGinnis.
