I found John
Macklin Fewell and his brother William Henry
Fewell in the census some men were asked where they were from and didn't always put the name of the state they were born but sometimes put the state they were last from. John said he was from Mo. found other info that they may have been reared in Little Rock
Arkansas. by the 1870 census they were living in
Texas in
Bell Co., then
Bosque Co.,
Hamilton Co. and
Erath Co. all these counties are pretty close to each other. In fact John
Macklin and William Henry and some of their children are buried in Hico Cemetery in
Texas. ..You mentioned something about
KY in my search found some Fewells in the Missiouri census for 1850 that had a James M. Fewell (61) farmer from KY; and a
Hamilton Fewell age 33 was a farmer from
KY had children Susannah(20); Eliza (12); Alice (10);
Madison (18);
Hamilton(7);
Oliver (5) and D....(3). Don't know if these Fewells are related to mine or not. I have checked several Census
Missouri,
Ohio,Tn,Ill etc. I am trying to find out if John
Macklin and William Henry
Fewell had any brothers or sisters and what their parents names are but haven't found the link yet. Oh I also found a James
Fewell (42)in the 1850
Indiana Census that said he was from Ky; he had wife Sarah (43) children
Willis (18);
Bennet (13) Joshua (10); James (8); Marion (5); Nathaniel (3); Sarah (11?) and Sarah
Fewell (63) Va.so James mother. Maybe some of this may help if not. Any names or locations especially in
Texas if I can help let me know. Cause I have found some links to some
Fewell families thru some of the Census in
Texas. Any other info you have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
