Does any one have any information on John Foster Cardwell, b. 1829 Alabama; married
Georgia Ann McLester Jan. 5, 1853, Tuscaloosa, Alabama?
Their children (to date) :
1) Betty Foster Cardwell, b. Nov. 15, 1854, Northport, Alabama
2) Sarah Amelia Cardwell, b. feb. 25, 1858, Alabama; married Moses Joshua Stevens.
I believe John Foster Cardwell's mother was a Foster, but I have nothing to base
that on but hunch.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Every few months I have to try to find someone who can help me unlock the door to one of
my mysteries.
Albert CARDWELL and Cora SMITH were married 10 Nov 1877 in Lincoln, Plymouth, Iowa. One
of their children was a son named Lloyd CARDWELL. I
believe he was born about 1878 in Concord Township, Woodbury, Iowa. On 17 Jan 1907 he
married my grandmother, Gilka "A" (Gail) BUSS in Council
Bluffs, Pottawattamie, Iowa. They had 2 daughters. Grace Minnie CARDWELL was born 9 Aug
1908 in Lisco, Deuel, Nebraska. Helen Mae CARDWELL
was born 31 Aug 1909 in Lisco, Deule, Nebraska. Lloyd and Gail then were divorced. I
assume Lloyd is deceased since he was born 122 years
ago. I know Gail, Grace, and Helen are deceased. None of the living members of our
family knows anything about Lloyd after the divorce. I
would like to find out when and where he died. I would like some kind of proof of his
birth. If I could determine his death and obtain a death
certificate, there is a chance the birth information may be on it. I have not found him
on the 1910 or 1920 Censuses as yet. I do not know if
he married again and had other children.
If any of the CARDWELL researchers on this list has any information on Lloyd, please
contact me as soon as possible.
