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.

This appears to be the original text which serves as the source for the preceding link, for many other mentioning of Chadwell's Station, and most especially, for the rumor that Jemima Cox (Turner) is David Chadwell's sister. (She is his sister-in-law.)

The reports referred to, regarding shots being fired at one Mrs. Cox, can be found in letters included in the Calendar of Virginia State Papers and Other Manuscripts, Volume IV
