Hello All,
In the past two weeks I have found 3 closely related cousins, of my dads
generation. We are all very excited to have found each other.
In discussing what we know and more importantly don't know and wish we
did, it has brought up a family "rumor".
How many kids did Richard Cardwell have and what happened to him through
his life, his "wives" and the 12-16 kids he supposidly had???????
Here is what I know and I am hoping a kind someone out there can see a
connection and maybe direct me to someone who knows this family.
Thanks for looking
Kay Cardwell-Davis
1860 census of Grainger County, Tenn. shows:
Thomas Acuff and Nancy E. (Strange) Acuff.
Thomas Acuff (age 26)
wife Nancy E. Acuff (age 26)
children
Arminda E. (age 5) <------- first wife
Albert L. (age 3)
Samantha E. (age 4 months)
1880 census shows:
Cardwell, Richard (26 husband)
Arminda (24 wife)
4 children are listed
(Dallis 5 thru Sallie L 2 months)
After this I do not have him located until the early 1900's in
Washington State.
Family rumor says that Arminda died and after that he left TN.
Thanks for helping.
