Did you ever learn where Pleasant was buried? Pleasant was a brother to my
gr-gr-grandfather Samuel Chadwell, who moved from Ewing, VA to Norwood, MO in the late
1880's.
The Chadwell Heritage Book only indicates that Pleasant and Elizabeth died between 1860
and 1870 since Pleasant M., David C. and John were living with their sister, Lucy A.
Brooks, in the 1870 Claiborne County, TN Census.
One of Pleasant's sons Alexander Chadwell moved to MO with his uncle Sam Chadwell.
Alex and his wife Caroline Campbell Chadwell had a son named Charlie. Charlies married
Carrie Richardson and had two sons, Ralph and Paul. Ralph and Paul both lived in the
Macomb/Norwood, MO areas. Their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren recently
held a Chadwell Reunion for the family.
After Charlie Chadwell died, Carrie married Sam Chadwell, a son of Rev. Golvin Chadwell.
Golvin was a first cousin to Pleasant Chadwell and son of old Sam Chadwell. (Sam Chadwell
was a son of William Chadwell and Katie Lane Chadwell. William was a son of Capt. David
Chadwell and Elizabeth Turner.)
Golvin Chadwell was my great-grandfather.
(I suppose you know that the actor Lee Majors is in Pleasant Murphy Chadwell's line.
Pleasant's daughter Serelda married Jacob Yeary in Lee County, VA. She was the great
grandmother of Harvey Lee Yeary (Lee Majors).
