To Charles Speed,
Well, this is Rand... hope that I'll do. :) I'm sure that Charles will jump
in too.
Richard Wilson Cardwell is my direct ancestor but I know very little
about
his siblings.
The list that Charles provided is a list of the known siblings of your
Richard Wilson Cardwell.
I would appreciate any help you can give
me. Does anyone know the death date for Thomas Cardwell, father of
Richard Wilson?
Thomas Cardwell of Granville Co.,NC died ca May 1800. That is the time that
his will was probated. His widow, Mary, can be found in the census of that
county in 1800 with children. page 564.
I have tried to find his
parents but have been unsuccesful with that also.
Estabishing proof of Thomas of Granville's parents is one of the few
"unsolved" pieces to the Cardwell family puzzle. Some point to him being
the son of George Cardwell of Cumberland Co.,VA, but I, among others, have
my doubts.
You show John G.
Cardwell dies 1843 Smith Co. What state?
Tennessee! A whole mess of the Graniville county Cardwells moved to the
Sumner/Smith County region of Tennessee. I believe your Richard even
touched base there before moving on to Arkansas.
Looks like I need all kinds of help.
We all do! :)
Later,
Rand Cardwell
