Message Board Post:
I just saw your post and was thrilled. David Crockett Chadwell was my gg grandfather.
His oldest child Laura (my g grandmother; she lived to age 101) told me that his parents
died during the war and "left four little boys at home alone" They saw the
soldiers coming and hid their food under the mattress and took their cow and pony to the
hills, but the soldiers took everything. When "Dave" came to Clay County he was
still wearing long shirts without pants. He held a torch for a man to make his first pair
of shoes in Clay County. My grandmother remembered him visiting his brother, Uncle
Millard.
