The definitive book on these Cardwells is by Helen Hart Peyton, "Some Early
Pioneers of Western Kentucky, Their Ancestors and Descendants". It is an 800
page book printed in 1984 and again, updated, in 1990. It was performed in
conjunction with Allen Pendergraft, Lorene Cranor and Betty Irwin, and many
others. I urge you to find a copy as it is no longer in print, but found in
many genealogy libraries.
I will send an extract from the book in generational form to any who wish it,
provided you send me your descendancy.
This extract does NOT include Tennessee nor North Carolina Cardwells. Only
Virginia and Kentucky.
