I've been looking for my grandfather Charles Worthington
Odell's
ancestor, Mary Austin CARDWELL (or Eliza Jane CARDWELL) that
married a W. V. Compton. Their daughter Alice Laura Compton was
my greatgrandmother and I have notes that show her birth as 1871
in Strawberry Plains, Jefferson County, TN.
I'll have to check my notes but I believe that Mary Austin cardwell is the
daugther of Robert Cardwell or one of his older sons. Robert moved to
Grainger co,TN around 1820 from campbell Co.,VA.

Other persons of genealogical interest who were among first
settlers in RUTLEDGE, Tennessee, were as follows: (typist note:
some names not retyped here)
DANIEL CARDWELL and HUGH JONES, who were "hatters".
and on
This Daniel is the son of Perrin Cardwell of Knox County,TN.

Another small graveyard in which are the graves of the CARDWELL
and ROGERS familiy, is only a short distance from the SHIPE
burying ground, and both are only a short distance from the old
BETHLEHAM CHURCH."
and on
This is the graveyard that contains the family of Perrin Cardwell of Knox
Co.TN
"p. 768 WEAKLEY COUNTY TENNESSEE
COL. JOHN A. GARDNER stood at the head of his profession as a
lawyer in Weakley County for a number of years. Emerson
Ethebridge, Hon. M. D. Cardwell and COL. JOHN A. ROGERS also were
among top lawyers."
I beleive that this is referring to the Sumner Co.TN line that springs from
Thomas Cardwell of Granville Co.NC. It seems that MD Cardwell was the son
of Daniel Cardwell (the west Tennessee Daniel Cardwell... there were two
that lived in East Tennessee during the same period)
