I also have heard the family legend about 3 CARWILE brothers coming over in 1721 and one
going back overseas. I have found that this is a COMMON LEGEND in families; so I have
discounted it as fact.
Are you aware of the 1976 book by Anna Deihls Callahan "A HISTORY OF THE CALLAHAM AND
CARWILE FAMILIES". It has a great deal of information on Zachariah CARWILE, Rev
War Veteran and his family. Zachariah Carwile and the Callaham family lived across a
river from each other and their families intermarried.
I descend from Rev War Veteran Jacob Carwile, SR 1751-1837
I am almost 100% certain that Jacob and Zachariah are BROTHERS because both gave GOOCHLAND
COUNTY, VIRGINIA as their birthplace.
