RE the two "COLWELL" posts. My grandmother, Belle Colwell Ferguson, always
told me her name was COLWELL. Local records in Tarrant Co TX show it as
COLDWELL and CALDWELL. I realize our forbears were careless about spelling.
So, for what it's worth -- I'm up against one of those stone walls regarding
my ggm's parents. I have a picture. On the back it says "deliver to Mrs. Wm.
Colwell, --illegible-- Dallas Co TX.
If anyone can latch onto this thread, I'd be most grateful. They were there.
They had two daughters. I know about them. NFI.
Aye

It appears there are other COLWELL researchers on this surname list, so I
thought I'd post mine and see if there's any response.
Thomas COLWELL, born England Nov. 23, 1781, died Wayne County, PA May 24,

1822, died Honesdale, PA Feb. 25, 1881, married Sarah A. WHITE in

Possible second son: Charles COLWELL, listed in 1850 Texas Township, PA

Will provide follow-up post with children and grandchildren of Thomas &
