I've also tried (3 or 4 times) to get an invitation to the Chitwood Website. My emails weren't returned to me, but they were never answered.

Secondary sources do show that Joel Chitwood (b 1789) did have a married daughter named Sarah, but husband not named. You must be right. That would mean that brothers Andrew J and Charles B Duncan, married sisters Dicey and Sarah C. Chitwood. Here are census records found for Charles and his next two wives. Sarah Chitwood Duncan must have died between 1853 and 1860. The 1880 census shows birthplace of childrens’ mothers (b TN, NC and AR).

Good luck in your cemetery search this spring. Some day plan to do the same looking for a cemetery marker for my GG grandfather’s brother James Chitwood. He died in 1860’s in neighboring Lawrence Co, MO.

Thanks a lot. I know Charles(William) and Jane(Sarah) are buried in the Chitwood Cemetery in Barry County, MO. My grandmother said she(Jane) was a Chitwood. William Joel and Nancy Inman are my gggrandparents. I have been wondering if Jane was her middle name? The name I had for William Joel's father was William but I think it was Charles. I wonder if she is a daughter of Joel Chitwood, since her son's middle name was Joel?? You always end up with more puzzle pieces. I am planning to go to MO this spring and check out the Barry County cemeteries.

Most of the family is in Barry County Missouri in 1900. William Joel in 1900 stated he was in MO both paretns in Tenn. He is buried in the Chitwood cemetery in Barry County. I just am not having any luck finding William and Jane.

I would like to encourage those of us seeking the parentage of Mathias to consider the following: If Thomas Chetwood b 1601(married to Elizabeth Wake) was Mathias' father, he would have been 80 at the time of our ancestors birth - assuming we all agree on the 1681 birth year. If Thomas Chetwood b 1630 in St Clement Danes was his father, this Thomas would have been 51. That's a bit more possible.
I would like to throw into the mix a Lawrence Chetwood of Shropshire England, who buried a wife, Elinor, on February 11, 1695. He then married Maria Stanley on December 29, 1696. IF this is a lead, our Mathias would have been 14 years of age in 1695 and probably shipped to the new world for whatever reasons.
I feel very strongly about this being a possible connection but we all know feelings don't count. I'd be happy to share a spreadsheet I have in which I attempted to track children of Lawrence, keeping in mind I've not proven the information.
Any and all thoughts are welcome. If replying directly please indicate "Chitwood genealogy" in the subject line. Thanks, Nona (a 9th generation Chitwood)
