Charles Tewell, born Oct 25, 1789 in Maryland, was a son of William and Elizabeth Tewell,
who came to Washington Co, Kentucky. He was married Sept. 21, 1818 to Sarah Ann Matilda
Raney, daughter of Jeremiah Raney and Mary Jane Sheehan Moore. They came to Daviess Co,
Indiana shortly after their marriage, along with his brother, John, whose wife was an
O'Brien; and his brother-in-law, Joseph Patterson who married his sister, Rosanna
Tewell. The Tewells remained in the St. Mary's Church records for many year. The known
children of Charles and Sarah were Elizabeth, Jeremiah, Hester, Alexander, Benedict,
Greenberry, Morris, Mary G. and Charles, Jr. Sarah has no marker in the St. Mary's
cemetery, but the stone for Charles reads "In memory of Charles Tewell, who was born
Oct 25, 1789 - Departed This Life Sept 17, 1843.

Note: There may be a problem on the bio of Charles Tewell. His father was in KY no later
than 1780 - see land grands for western Virginia - and Charles was not born until 1789.
Extremely unlikely that he was born in MD. Also, it is believed that he had a wife before
Sarah Riney since he is known to have a son born in 1814. Actually it is suspected that
William may well have been born in KY himself. There were Tewells there before 1760 - so
this is possible.
