Grace,
The Thomas Cardwell in Stokes County,NC is the son of John Cardwell and
Keziah Low(e). This Thomas married Mary Joyce. (To my knowledge this can
only be established thru the will of Thomas Joyce and the Rev. War Pension
Application of (I believe) George Joyce.) George Joyce was the brother of
Mary Joyce Cardwell. He eventually settled in Kentucky. James Vernon.... I
don't have a clue...yet!
Later,
Rand Cardwell

James Vernon, Thomas Cardwell, and George Joyce are all listed in the
1790
Stokes Co.
census. Anyone with more info on the relationship of these men and
their
families? I
know the three families intermarried.
