                                                            Obituary

 

            Mrs. Johnson had been a resident of Etowah County for more than 40 years, having removed her with her family from Guernsey, Ohio, in 1896. She was the widow of the late Nelson Johnson and grand-daughter of the late Moses W. Kennedy XE "Kennedy, Moses W." ,   pioneer physician of Ohio. She was a member of the Eleventh Street Methodist Church, having united with the Methodist church at age of 16.

 

            Lamar Ross   says this obit is erroneous on the occupation of Moses W. Kennedy " . Instead  he as a mill owner. "Moses Washing Kenney's father and grandfather were both physicians. This probably explains the confusion." Anyway the report she was married to a Hersey has been proven wrong I sincerely Thank  Lamar.

OUR LINAGE IN THROUGH ROBERT JENNINGS AND SARAH (TURNER) ROSS SO WE WILL NOW LOOK MORE CLOSELY AT THE INFORMATION WE HAVE ABOUT THEM.

 

             Thanks to Lamar Ross research we have information on our great grandmother Sarah Turner  Ross mother was Martha Angeline Chadwell   .

 

                                                            CHADWELL

 

                 Lamar  has traced the history of the surname Chadwell to England county of Essex. If you have ever tried to read a book back in the 1600's and before you found the spelling was not uniform. In those days words were spelled how the writer wanted to spell them.  Lamar's research took him to 1066 A.D. at the time of Duke William of Hantings  (William the Conqueror  the name Chadwell was spelled: Chadall, Shadwell, and Chadwel.

                   Our linage on Chadwell goes back to John Chadwell  (ca. 1658-1732 Stafford County, Virginia) and married  ca. 1677/8 Ann Bryan   (ca.1660-). They are believed to have been born in England.

         1. Bryan  Chadwell  (ca. 1678 Stafford County, Virginia -1744 King George County, Virginia) m. Ann Bronough   (ca 1700 - btw 1735 & 1795)Parents: Jeremiah Bronough    & Elizabeth Glendening  .  "He owned 151 acres of land and a tobacco plantation. he owned at least four female slaves, for these are given to his sons as part of their inheritance." Source Lamar Ross

                                                          Well


“To my daughter Ann Chadwell   I give the feather bed and furniture that stands in the room where I lodge myself and eight hundred pounds of Tobacco to be paid by my son David Bronaugh  the first year after my death.”

 

Son of Bryan Chadwell
                   a. John C. Chadwell  (ca. 1732 in England (?) - June 25,1803 age 71 Fauquier, VA)  1rst marriage had 5 children, She died. 2nd marriage July 6, 1795 Elizabeth   Gutridge  Frauquier County, Virginia

Letter Concerning George Chadwell

 

"One of our collateral relatives, Ginger Hoffman , who still lives in the Ohio area, gave the following account in a letter to me dated 3/29/1996. “ When George was 16 years old, he emigrated to Jefferson County, Ohio with his widowed mother [Elizabeth Gutridge Chadwell   ] and brother and sister, both younger than George”. [This would have been approximately 1814]. “In 1818 he married Ruth Taylor  . In 1823 he emigrated to Washington Township, Tuscarawas County, Ohio with his wife and three children, a few household goods, and 50 cents in money. There is a story about his son Thomas T. Chadwell    in “History of Tuscarawas County, Ohio, 1884",with the story of his father 

Between 1819 and 1835, George and Ruth went on to have eleven children, the fifth of which was our first Chadwell ancestor, Martha Angelina Chadwell . George died in 1868 at age 70, when his granddaughter, Sarah Angelina Turner, was only 14. His wife Ruth outlived him by another 26 years, dying at the ripe old age of 95 on December 9, 1894. By the time she died, her granddaughter, Sarah, and her husband, Robert Jennings Ross, already had eight of the nine grandchildren that were born to them. I don’t know for sure, but it is likely that she did not see all of them personally, since they were living in Indiana when most of them were born. Traveling was not quite as easy then as it is now. If you had the money, there were trains available, but most travel was still by horse and buggy."

Her little brother about ten years old was burning garden trash Thursday, and the child in playing about the burning heaps got too near, and her clothing caught fire. Her father, who was at work some distance off, hurried to her and removed her clothing as quickly as he could, burning his hands badly in his efforts. The child was carried in, and Dr. Robison was called. He found the burns serious, extending over a large portion of her body, and the skin in places peeling off in strips. He did all that could be done for her relief, but the child died Saturday morning after much suffering. Mr. Ross is comparatively a newcomer, having moved here from Ohio about three years ago. His sad calamity awakens general sympathy.” (Thank you Lamar Ross
