Rand,
I read with great interest the message you sent to the Cardwell
list.
My John Cardwell m. Frances Gaines in Stokes Co., NC in 1801. Is he
part of this group? I have seen where he is named as John Wiltshire
in
a few genealogies. Any help is truly appreciated.

Evelyn,
Your John Cardwell is the son of Thomas Cardwell and Mary Joyce. Thomas
moved into the Stokes County, NC area around 1785-90 and owed land in
both Stokes Co.,NC and Patrick Co., VA ) his estate being on the border.
Thomas was the brother of the William that I posted about this morning.
I'm 99.9% sure that they are the children of John Cardwell and Keziah
Low. John being the son of Thomas and Martha Perrin Cardwell of VA.
Your John had one brother named Perrin who appears to have never married
and died in Stokes Co.,NC. He had two sisters that married into the
Clark family. They migrated to Missouri, but I've not researched to see
if it was near where John settled. Does anyone have easy access to the
MO census records? If so please contact me.
As far as his middle name being Wiltshire....... I've saw it some other
folk's research, but have yet to figure out their source.
Hope this helps.
