Looking for info on the family name Twadell also Todd. My gg grandfather was Charle Twadell Todd. Twadell was his mothers family name. He came from Pa in Lancaster County and surround areas. So did the Todd's. Dates are from the 1700 to 1800's.
Wife was Susanna Kenneda ??? I think Kenneda was also a family name. Please help. Thanks JJ.

My gg grandfather Amos Twadell 1818-1905 married
a Tina Kennedy in Jennings County, IN. Do you
think that the two families knew of each other in
PA? I only have information on Amos but I know that
he was one of eight and his father was James Twaddell
or Twaddle. Who knows on the spelling?!?
Feel free to contact me.

Hi Stephanie,

My Twadell was born in Jennings, IN. I was just wondering if he could be a son of your Amos. Do you have a H.M.Twadell, or Hiram Markus Twadell or Henry Mark Twadell in any of your family tree. He was born 30 May 1838. He married Mary Bull in Wayne County, IL.
7 Jan.1864.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPLY.

Sandra,

I don't know of that individual yet but I would bet that he is related. I don't think that he belongs to Amos as Amos married in 1843. A list of possible fathers would be, Hiram Twaddell who had a son Henry by his first wife. The only information that I have on Hiram at this point are a few census records and a copy of his obituary. It listed Henry's name but didn't give birth dates - the life span would be birth between 1832 and 1842 and still alive when Hiram dies in 1883.

The other possiblity that I know of is an uncle of Amos and Hiram that was living in Jefferson County, IN at the same time as James the father of Hiram and Amos.

I will be happy to keep your name and look for it when I get to the library next. This family continually haunts me......

Hi Stephanie,

Well, it doesn't look like your Amos is the father of my Twadell. Thanks, so much for checking. I'm not too sure about that Hiram though, it might be a possibility. My Henry M. Twadell was born 30 May 1838, married 6 Jan. 1864, died 29 May 1897. So, he was alive when Hiram died in 1883. Would it be possible for you to send me what you have on him. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for holding on to my name, if I find out anything else, I will send it to you too.
The Twadell's are sure a mystery.

Obituary taken from a Febrary 1883, Jennings County newspaper. File # 0732 Jennings County Library.

Died - At his residence in Vernon, Jennings county, Indiana, January 29th, 1883 at 10:30 o'clock a.m.
Mr. Hiram Twadell; aged 73 years, 8 mos. and 29 days.

He was born in Genesee County, New York, April 30, 1809. About the year 1818 his father with his family came to Indiana and settled at, or near, Hanover, Jefferson County.

At what time the deceased came to Jennings county is not now certainly know, but he became a citizen of this county in youth or early manhood. During his sojourn with us he was engaged in inportant trusts, until failing health compelled him to retire from active duty. He was for about thirty years in the employ of the M.&I. and J.M. & I. RR Companies; and for 20 or 25 years, lie, with marked faithfulness, discharged the responsible trust of Ticket and Freight Agent for said companies at their office in Vernon, and this trust only terminated when declining hearth compelled him to resign. Mr. Twadell has been the subject of many sorrows. Death has many times enterd his dwelling and taken away loved ones from his embrace.

He was united in marriage to Miss Charlotte Thompson, October 3rd, 1832. The fruit of this union was three children, of whom Henry and Josephine are now living; little Charley and the mother having passed away. In December 1842, Mr. Twadell and Mrs. Philena A. Cook were united in marriage. To them were given four children; of these, Viola and Wilberforce are the only survivors. Their little sisters, Alice and Almeda and then the mother having died. On the 4th day of March, 1856, Mr. Twadell and Miss Julia Bullock were joined in marriage. This union was crowned with three children. Death again and again entered this family - calling first for little Sarah, and then for Joseph, and now for the husband and father; leaving the sorrow-stricken widow and her only surviving child, Mary, to complete the list of mourners.

No, these are not all who mourn. Other relatives mourn. Society has lost one of its brightest examples of morality and uprightness. Citizena mourn, ail mourn - but not as those who have no hope. He died in peace. He was loved by all, and loved most by those who knew him best.

Funeral services were held at the Baptist church, conducted by Rev. Harry Smith of the Baptist Church assisted by Revs. Barr of the Presbyterian and Mellender of the M.E. churches. The XI Chapter of the Gospel of John was read and the 5th verse used as text. The audience was large and solemn and impressive. The remains were then laid to rest in the Vernon Cemetery.


Have you ordered a marriage certificate or a death certificate for Henry? Did he serve in the civil war? What county did he get married in? Any or all of those documents might offer more clues to his parents. He certainly falls into the right time frame to be the son of Hiram and Charlotte. I won't be going to the research library until April but I will definately put him on my list to look for. I am very interested in this family! Please contact me at sjmernst@earthlink.net if you discover any additional information.

Surnames: Twaddell, Todd
I am a Twaddell descendant and obtained some family history from a great aunt who died recently. The author is Albert William Twaddell. I don't know how my great aunt obtained it. However, there is some information about the Todds... William Twaddell, who died Feb 23, 1827 at 82 years and Deborah Pawling Twaddell who died Jan 16, 1806 at age 55 years, 1 month and 18 days. They are buried in Marcus Hook, PA. They had 12 children, the 9th being Rebecca Twaddell who married William Todd and had Charles Twaddell Todd on Oct 29, 1809, Louisa Todd on Nov 21, 1811 and died Aug 24, 1836, William Todd on Aug 15, 1814 and died Mar 1, 1884, James Todd on July 1, 1817 and moved to New Orleans, Robert Todd on Mar 31, 1820 and died Nov 10, 1888. Robert Todd is the only one on this list with descendants listed, which certainly doesn't mean they are the only ones who existed! If you'd like additional information, please let me know and I will provide whatever I have.
