Chadwell history

http://www.rowlandsva.com/files/Download/Microsoft%20Word%20-%20CHADWELLSTATION.pdf

Describes a David Chadwell married to an Elizabeth Turner, who's sister, Jemima (presumably really a sister-in-law) married a William Cox in Lee Co. Virginia before 1785. This history describes David Chadwell as acquiring land in Lee County and "adjoining" Claiborn County, Tennessee. This would seem to make the inclusion of William Cox and his wife in the database of the Claiborn County Pioneers site listed above. Henry County also plays a prominent role in this history.

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kyborn/chadwell.html - Gives the father of Elizabeth Ann Turner as John Turner and provides some further detail regarding Elizabeth.
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~enchantedworld/Chadwell/George-1709.pdf - Gives the father of Elizabeth Ann Turner as Jesse Turner and provides some further detail regarding Elizabeth.
http://www.usgennet.org/family/baicon/data/fam15378.htm - Chimes in with Jesse
http://www.roanetn.com/Holland_early.htm - Did William Cox and David Chadwell serve in the military together? (A John Turner is also noted.)
