WOW - this is GREAT! I have seen this name Reddick spelled a bunch of
different ways. I will also forward this note to the Reddick group and see
if anyone has ever run across this mr js ruddick. What does js stand for?
These families did move together - maybe we have found a link to Grainger
via the area mentioned.
Rick - please send me more info if you have it.
Thanks

Who-hoo!!!!
Could this be our long-sought connection between Albert Reddick
/Rheddick and Caroline Matilda Cardwell, mother of "Lafe" and Sidney
Cardwell?!!?! If their families were next-door neighbors in North
Carolina, it is highly likely that there would either be intermarriage
and/or grown children's families moving westward together (a common
practice in those times). I've capitalized the important info in the
following will. I've included references to Richard, since that seems to
be a name passed down in our family, at least in Lafe and Sidney's
stepbrother Richard Cardwell's family.

Kay, the messages on your mailing list the last few days have been VERY
interesting. I hope you have had time to read them. The rest of you,
if you haven't subscribed yet, I suggest you do so ASAP! Just email
Kay.
Rick
P.S. Kathy, I'm soooooooooooooooooo sorry I've taken until now to reply
to your friendly introductory email. I've just been swamped trying to
get my Computer Science degree, I just haven't got around to it (I have
a box of round tuits here somewhere, if I can just find it!). In fact,
the only reason I'm doing email this morning is in connection with a CS
project! Sigh. The semester's almost over.
