My great grandmother was Betsey Tazewell. She was born about 1810 in Somerset, England. She married Charles Heal about 1830 in Bridgwater, Somerset.They moved to the United States in the early 1840's and located in Illinois, probably Kane county.
After Charles died, she married William Brett.I am trying to find out where she lived after that time and where she is buried. Any help would be appreciated.

I research Tazwell/Tarzwell surname of Somerset, England. The surname appears a variey of ways in the church records: Tazwell, Tazewell, Tarswell, Tarzwell. A fellow researcher sent me this information:
Betsey Tazwell and her twin brother John Tazwell who were baptized 13 DEC 1811 St. Mary's, Bridgewater, Somerset, dau and son of William and Jane Tazwell. They also had another daughter,
Eliza Tazwell bap 16 JAN 1814 St. Mary's on which William is listed as a yeoman.

I do know of a James Tazwell who emigrated to Kane Co, IL about 1832. His son, James B. Tazewell (12 JAN 1838 ENG-06 OCT 1902 IL) is in the IL Census for Rutland Twp, Kane Co, IL
and the surname listed as Tarzwell. On his marriage 13 APR 1859 in Kane Co, IL his surname is spelled Tazwell. He married Mary Jane Moore 1838c IL. The descendents use the surname
Tazewell. I am wondering if James B. Tazewell may be a relative to Betsey Tazewell.

I would guess that your Betsey is the same as mine as I have learned that she was born about 1810 in Somerset, England.0ne of her daughters was anamed Eliza, presumebly after heer sister.
Is Tazewell one of your family surnames?

My great grandmother was a Tarzwell, born in Ontario, Canada.
The surname is spelled a variety of ways in Canadian records
as well as in the Somerset records.
Her grandfather was George Tarzwell of Walton, Somerset, England
and so I have researched church records in that area and some
towns around. Some of the descendents in other lines chose to
use the surname Tazewell, like those in Oregon.
I have not connected Betsey's family with mine as yet.
You can email me at s_vp@hotmail.com for more information and give me
your email and I will give you the name of the person who gave
me the information about Betsey Tazewell.
