I have recently joined the list in the hopes of finding out more about my
Cardwell line. The earliest person I have is Rial CARDWELL, b. 1789, d. in
Tazewell, TN. His wife was Annie CLAYPOOL b. 1794. Their children were
Anderson Huffman "Huff" , Mary Dunbar, David, William, Reuben, John Wesley,
Rial Dow, Lucinda, Mahala Jane, Thurza Ann, and James Nelson.
"Huff" Cardwell married Eliza Jane BURLINGAME in 1865 in Rolla, MO.
Huff was the first postmaster of Sussess, Mo (he named the town). He was
also a sergeant in the Union army, Co. G, 5th Reg, MO volunteer Cav. He
died Nov 18, 1905 in Mincy, MO. His children were: Ida Florence, Ulysses
Stanton, Clara Augusta, Lillian Aurora, Olive Rosetta, Francis Allen, Alma
Myrtle, Annie Laurel, Edith Sophia, and Ivy Melinda.
Annie Laurel Cardwell (1883-1975) was my great-grandmother.
I would appreciate any help in discovering more about my Cardwell
ancestors!
