Walt and others,
Daniel Cardwell of Stokes is the son of Richard Perrin Cardwell and Susanne
LeGrand. His brother was Peter that settled in Rockingham Co.NC. Daniel was
a first cousin to Thomas Cardwell that lived in Stokes County. To confuse
things more Daniel had a brother named Thomas, as well. That Thomas Cardwell
died in the Rev. War. THAT IS DOCUMENTED. Also, Stokes County was a magnet
to the Cardwell family (similar to Grainger Co., and Sumner Co.,TN) as three
of John Cardwell and Keziah Lowe's sons migrated there from Virginia. Those
being in order; Perrin, Thomas and William. Perrin arrived very early when
the Yadkin River area was vastly unsettled. He was there prior to the start
of the Rev. War and was a militiaman in the Battle of King's Mtn under Col.
Cleveland. The county borders changed thru the years, that explains why
Perrin shows up in several different counties in NC (he didn't move ... the
borders did). It appears that Thomas Cardwell, along with George Joyce his
brother-in-law, moved to the area after the war. William appears to have
followed around 1800. I have extensive research on William, as well as all
the individuals mentioned above.
Walt, if you could can you send me a copy of the map you mentioned?

Thanks
I have a map "Stokes County North Carolina Historical
Documentation" which
was put together in 1977 by a group which shows the location of Landowners
in the late 1700's as well as when they aquired the land. On this map
there is a Daniel Cardwell who bought two properties in 1792 and 1794. In
close proximity to Daniel is Thomas Cardwell who purchased one piece in
1783 and a Land Grant in 1789. The Land Grant property is within two miles
of Daniels places. In addition James Vernon {Grace's ancestor}, two places
(1783 & 1787) and George Joyce one place (1790) are within three miles from
the Cardwells. Does anybody know who this Daniel Cardwell was?
