The following is from "Southern Cadenheads - James Cadenhead, Sr., and His Descendants in the Southern United States", by Kenneth Cadenhead & Bill Germany, 1997. Pages 242-244:

William Pew Cadenhead was born in Pike County, Alabama January 15, 1826, and he is believed to be the oldest son of Ivy and Nancy Pew Cadenhead. No older children have been identified, although Ivy and Nancy were married five years before William Pew was born. His first name could have been taken either from Ivy's brother William or Nancy's brother who also had the same first name. His second name was his mother's family name. In practically all instances, his middle name was written "Pew", although the family name sometimes was written "Pugh".
William Pew does not appear on records individually until his marriage to his first cousin Susannah D. Radney in Troup County, Georgia October 21, 1851. Susannah was the daughter of William Anderson and Frances (Pugh) Radney. She was born in Troup County April 21, 1831. Her parents migrated from Hancock County. William Pew's mother and Susannah Radney's mother were sisters; they were daughters of Abel Pugh who was also in Hancock County. He remained there, but his daughters later migrated with their husbands to western Georgia and Alabama.
Sometime after their marriage, William Pew and Susan moved to Tallapoosa County, Alabama. The appeared in Beat #2 of the Alabama State Census for 1855. They lived near William Pew's brother Leland T. Cadenhead and his wife Elizabeth. It is not known whether William Pew and Susan actually owned the land in Tallapoosa County on which they lived. It was about this time that William's mother Nancy moved to Tallapoosa County from Russell County. This meant that all the family was there for a period of time, several of whom never left.
William Pew and Susan were in Georgia again in 1860. Probably William did not own the land in Tallapoosa County in 1855 because he and Susan and their three children appear in the household of William A. Radney, Susan's father, in Troup County, Georgia five years later. It is not known why or when they left Tallapoosa County, Alabama and returned to the household of Susan's father.
He enlisted in the Confederate Army July 12, 1861. Although he lived in Troup County, he entered the Army in Greenville, Georgia and was in Company "B" 2nd Georgia Infantry, commonly called the "Jackson Blues." At the time of his departure, Susan was six months pregnant with James Alexander, their third son.
After the War, William Pew returned to Troup County, Georgia. His father-in-law was still living on the farm at the time. Within a year or two after William Pew returned from the War, he and Susan decided to go to Texas. Perhaps there was communications with one or more of the Cadenhead families who had already moved to Texas before the Civil War. Perhaps he thought this move would allow him to start anew after the War. The details of the trip are not available; however, one of his children later said the family joined a wagon train in West Point, Georgia for the western trek.
The family stopped in Mississippi due to the illness of one of the children. Also, while in Kemper County, their youngest son John Henry was born July 16, 1867. It is not clear whether there were relatives in this county at the time or if they simply stopped due to the illness of one child and the birth of another one. Two other Cadenhead families were living in the neighboring county of Neshoba, Mississippi as early as 1860. Sometime after the birth of John Henry, they continued on their way to Texas.
The stopped again in Bastrop, Louisiana. The story goes that William Pew met a Dr. Bonner who lived in new Orleans and who owned a plantation about three miles north of Bastrop. According to the 1860 Census of Morehouse Parish, Dr. William Bonner, age 30, and his wife were living in Ward #2, the same ward where William Pew and his family later lived. According to William Pew's grandson, when Dr. Bonner learned that William Pew had managed a plantation before the War and an agreement was made for him to manage the plantation and operate the Bonner Ferry on the bayou.
The census of Morehouse Parish (Ward #2), Louisiana, dated July 2, 1870, shows William Pew, Susannah and their six children. The birth places of members of the family corroborate other sources; William Pew and William Anderson were born in Alabama; John Henry was born in Mississippi; the remainder were born in Georgia.
On December 23, 1870, William Pew died. He was buried on the A. L. Anderson plot in Christ Church Cemetery. The connection between the Anderson and William Pew's families has not been established. It was probably through Susan's father, William Anderson Radney, but this has not been established as of this time.
After William Pew's death, the family remained in Bastrop and his son William Anderson continued his father's work. However, William Anderson died September 18, 1872.
Following the death of her husband and oldest son, Susan decided to mover her family back to Georgia where her relatives lived. According to her son James Alexander, the family returned to Georgia by train. The date of the family's return to Georgia is not known. they do appear, however, in the Rough Edge District of Troup County, Georgia in 1880. Susan Radney Cadenhead died in Randolph County, Alabama October 29, 1894. She was buried in the Lane's Chapel Methodist Church Cemetery (south of Roanoke).
