The Caughell name has been difficult to trace back further than the mid 18th century. They came to America (New York) in the 1700’s from the Netherlands (Zuiderzee area). The first record of a Caughell is from 1766. One ‘Caughell History‘ document states that they came from France…that may be true but if so it would have been from the Alsace-Lorraine area which has gone back and forth between Germany and France.
The Caughell’s were loyalist to the King of England during the American Revolution and for this they were forced to move to Canada where the King gave them free land in the Niagara area.
Several of the Caughell’s did fight for the King during the War of 1812. My 3rd Great Grandfather George Caughell was killed at the battle of Lundys Lane in Canada during this war.
My Great Grandfather Jacob Caughell ran away from home in Canada to the States when he was 18 and joined the Union Infantry when he was 21. He fought in some major battles for the next three years being promoted to Sergeant. It is said he held extreme antislavery viewpoints.
His father in law, Samuel Thompson (my 3rd Great Grandfather) was a surveyor for the Union Pacific Railroad and was killed by Indians in Wyoming. He was buried next to the tracks in a unmarked grave to prevent the Indians from digging up his body.
The Caughell’s are not originally from the Netherlands. Many left the English Isles and immigrated to the Netherlands in the 17th century because it offered more freedom. From what I have read the Caughell’s likely originated in Scotland, perhaps Ireland or Wales. When and why they ended up in the Netherlands I do not know.
My mothers aunt, Cleo Augusta Yager, researched the Caughell name and compiled a comprehensive book which my mother gave me a copy of.
Following others on the internet it is possible the name is not Caughell at all. Oftentimes ancestors used the spelling Coghill. My 3rd great grandfather George Caughell and his older brother John are listed as ‘Coghill’ on the roles of Butler’s Rangers in the War of 1812.
Some question if they didn’t originate in Germany. It is somewhat curious that they settled in a New York valley designated for and mostly inhabited by Palinate Germans. Also, Reubens wife’s name is Elizabeth Schwer, which is very German sounding. Also their son George Frederick married Elizabeth Upper (Opher) and her parents came from Germany. The childrens names could all be German – Johannes, Georg, Peter and Anna are all common German names. Perhaps someday someone will figure it out.
Some came to the Netherlands from the English Isles for religious freedom and others to help fight wars and then stayed on to enjoy the freedoms the Dutch allowed.
They came to America (New York) in the mid 1700’s from The Netherlands (Zuiderzee area).
My uncle, Floyd Caughell, requested information from the Scots Ancestry Research Society in Edinburgh and their return letter states the following:
“The surname Caughell, Coghill, or Cogle is derived from the lands of Cogle in the parish of Watten, Caithness and Shetland.”
From Ancestry: Caughell Name meaning:
Irish: Anglicized spelling of Gaelic O’ Cathail (see Cahill)
Yet another source claims:
“The surname Caughell was first found in County Kerry and Tipperary as there are at least two distinct septs of the name.
The first sept from County Kerry descend from the Heremon line of kings and were known as the Cahills of Connaught.
The second sept claim descent from the Ir line of kings and were located at Corkashinny, or the parish of Templemore, Tipperary. This line further branched to the eponymous Ballycahill, Tipperary.
Both branches descended from O’Connors, the Kings of Connacht, specifically “Cathal,” also known as Conor na Luinge Luaithe, when anglicized means “Conor, the Swifter-Sailing Ship”.

Robert Ray Burnes Caughell, authors grandfather was born in 1883. He went to Oklahoma as a young man with his four brothers where they had a concrete construction company. Later Robert purchased farm land in Iowa and had a successful insurance business. He borrowed money from his father (considered his inheritance) to purchase a 160 acre farm that became our family farm.
Robert married Della Smith who was born in 1886. There first child, Dallas died when he was around 1 year old in 1909. They had one more boy and two girls, my mother being one of them.

Della fell ill after visiting him at the hospital and died in 10 days. She was pregnant with their fifth child when she died.

Jacob Caughell was born in 1840 in Canada. He is the author’s Great Grandfather. At the age of 18 he and a friend ran away from home and came to the States. When the Civil War was imminent he was in Mississippi and came north to Ohio where he joined the Union Army. He was in some difficult battles including Gettysburg, Chickamauga and Shilo. He advanced in rank to Sergeant by the end of his enlistment.
He returned to Canada in Aug of 1865 and married his 2nd cousin Elizabeth Thompson. They soon left Canada to return to the US. Their oldest child, Gussie, was born in a covered wagon near Carol, Iowa in 1866.
Jacob and his father-in-law, Samuel W. Thompson, worked for the Union Pacific Railroad laying tracks across Nebraska and Wyoming. Samuel was working as a surveyor and was killed by Cherokee Indians in Wyoming in 1868. His body was buried in a unmarked grave next to the tracks so the Indians wouldn’t dig it up and scalp him. Samuel was the author’s 2nd great grandfather.
Jacob and Elizabeth had eight children, the last one being my grandfather Robert born in 1883. They had two sets of twins, both sets were a boy and a girl.
Elizabeth was a very active in the women suffrage movement and traveled the area with her own team of horses and wagon that Jacob purchased for her and made speeches. One of the twins, I believe Edgar, fell in a river in cold weather and a doctor said he had “consumption” and would die unless he was taken to the better weather in California. Elizabeth made the trip in a covered wagon mostly alone. Several times Indians approached her wagon but when they saw the ill child they left. The boy recovered in California and they returned to Iowa. Her daughter Gussie watched the other children while she was gone.
Elizabeth died in 1904, Jacob remarried and died in 1914.

George Frederick Caughell, author’s 3rd great grandfather, was born in Schenectady, NY in 1771 (some say he was born in Holland). He moved with his family to Canada after the American Revolution when a child. In 1794 he married Elizabeth Upper (Opher) who was born in Canada in 1774 and is of German heritage.
A story is recorded that George’s brother John was having a drink in a tavern when two ladies started discussing his good looks in Dutch. When John finished his drink he went over and introduced himself to the ladies in Dutch – they were somewhat embarrassed as the story is told that he understood Dutch.
George and Elizabeth moved to the “Talbot Settlement” and raised their 10 children.
George died in 1814 at the age of 43. He was killed while fighting for the King in the War of 1812 against the US. Both George and John Caughell were members of the “Butler’s Rangers”. Their names are spelled “Coghill” in these historical records.

My 4th Great Grandfathers family were living in Holland, in the Zuiderzee area, in the early 18th century, why they were there I do not know. Some from the English Isles went to Holland for the freedoms the Dutch allowed, perhaps as soldiers to fight the Spanish that occupied the land or perhaps because business was booming in the Netherlands at that time. I have not been able to find any records prior to Reuben Caughell from the mid 18th century.
Reuben Caughell immigrated, with his family, to the Mohawk River area in upstate New York by 1766. The date they arrived in this country I do not know (some say 1760). Reubens wife’s name was Elizabeth Schwer born in Belgium, perhaps Holland. The name certainly sounds German. Their children (John, George, Peter and Anna) were born between 1766 and 1775. Some records show that their first born, John, was born in the Netherlands in 1766, others have it as 1754 but I think that is unlikely, and the remaining children in the Colonies. George, my 3rd Great Grandfather, was born in 1771 and Peter in 1775.
The Revolutionary War started in 1775 and Reuben stayed loyal to the King. There are no records that I have found of his participation in the War for either side. He would have been 37 years old by this time. His oldest son, John, was only eleven when the War started so the children did not participate either as some have stated. Apparently their loyalty to the King was enough to force them to move to Canada where the King offered free tracts of land.
The family moved to the Niagara, Ontario area of Canada. It consisted of Reuben, Elizabeth and three sons, John, George and Peter and daughter Anna.
