Looking for ancestors or descendents of Hiram and Elizabeth Fewell. Last known residence was Morgan County, Missouri. Has a son named William Henry Fewell married to Effie Richardson

I have the following:

Hiram C. J. Fewell, b. April 12, 1824 Gibson, Tn., d. Dec. 21, 1898, Aikensville, Morgan, Tn. m. 1st, Harriet Gilmore Dec. 12, 1842. No known children. m. 2nd, Nancy Jane Sands, Dec. 28, 1848. Three known children, Mary Sands Fewell, James Lafayette Fewell, and Benjamin Franklin Fewell. m. 3rd Effie Elizabeth Polston, Oct. 6, 1878. Effie b. 6-6 1850 in Brown, Illinois d. 2-15-1896 in Henry, Missouri. Hiram and Effie had four known children: William Henry Fewell, b. 4-18-1881 d. unk. , Charles Martin, b. 3-6-1884 d. 1859, Emma A. Fewell, b. 8-18-1886 d. at birth, and Martha Caroline Fewell, b. 1-19-1889 d. at birth. Sorry, but, I have no further information about their descendants.

Hiram's parents were James Fewell and Sidney Cole. James' parents were Rev. Benjamin Fewell and Nancy Ann (Walle) Wall. Benjamin's Parents were Henry Fewel (he use only one L) and Elizabeth Colvin. Henry's parents were John Fewel and Mary Grigsby. John had either 3 or 4 brothers, all of whom used two Ls. Only John and a few of his descendants used the single L. Many of this line migrated to Texas and changed back to "Fewell" in later years. Henry's parents were Stephen (Ffewell) Fewell and Katherine (Willyams) Williams.
Stephen was the first known Fewell in America. He was born November 7, 1653 in Southwick, St. Olive Parish, London, England. He died before Oct 5, 1721 in Richmond, Virginia.
He married Katherine abt. 1674. Stephen and Katherine are the common ancestors, through their sons, of most of the Fewells in the United States. They arrived in the American Colonies in Virginia November 29, 1674. Stephen's father was William Fewell b. about 1630 also in Southwick.

I hope the above information is of some help for you. tgf

Hi
Thanks for the reply. I have pretty much the same info except Emma did not die at birth. She died April 19, 1927 in Glensted Mo. She was married to Harry Ficklin . She had a son before she was married, She sent him to live with her mother and be raised by her.I just moved, so all my stuff is pretty disorganized right now, but if I have any info you might want, let me know. Did I ask or did you tell me which Fewell you are descended from?

I have info regarding their family, plus I have a family photo of them with seven children. The seventh child I don't know the name. Their children were: 1)Elizabeth A Fewell which you had birth & date info ( obviously she married but don't have that info.) 2)Ezekiel Fewell born appx 1852 in Scott Ark; He is found in the 1860 and 1870 census in Bell Co., Tx haven't found him so far after that; 3) Francis Marion b.Oct 22, 1853 in Scott Co., Ark d. Jan 5, 1939 in Coryell Co., Tx, he m. Mary Ellen Hendrix who was born May 1868 in Miss. they had nine children; 4) Pleasant Pinkney b. April 22, 1856 in Bell Co.Tx died April 29 1935 in Coryell Co.

A lot of the info I found regarding this family was in Dublin, Tx. Hamilton & Coryell and in the census. I have more info regarding children of above too but lots to type right now. Hope this helps. For the longest time was having a real hard time getting info on the Fewells as not much on line, but notice now more relations have posted some info and in Family Tree info. I am in SA Tx wondering if any Fewell have thought of trying to have a genealogy reunion? I would be interested I am a descendant Of James L Fewell and his wife Elizabeth Macklin-his son John Macklin and his wife Nancy Jane Cornelison-their son Noah Alonzo and his wife Martha Bell Richardson; their daughter Cloe Belle Fewell who married William Lee Beard

Hi Trudy:

This goes back a couple of messages, but no, I did not previously indicate my line. I am descended from the Indiana Fewells out of Stephen's son Benjamin; his son William who married Johanna Boling; their son, Nathaniel E. Fewell, his son Benjamin who married Ann Coghill; their son William who married Margaret Lichliter (Lichlyter); their son John Henry Fewell, Jr. (who was the nephew, not the son of another John Henry) who married Francis Wyne; their son James Alexander Fewell who married Ida May Ford (my Great grandmother who died in 1949 and whom I remember well): their son Lawrence James Fewell who married Ethyl Crim down to my father, Wilbur Fewell.

Nathaniel E. is my 5th great grandfather twice, because his daughter Francis "Fanny" Fewell married a William "Willis" Sullivan. Their daughter, Nancy Sullivan married Bennett Wyne and their daughter, Frances Wyne married her first cousin John Henry Fewell, Jr.

In answer to your question raised in another post, I would be very interested in a Fewell geneology reunion. Back in the early 1970's a Dallas Texas attorney by the name of Percy Fewell did a great deal of research. He visited several of my close relatives in Jefferson County, Indiana including my grandmother Ethyl Crim Fewell. His work is what first led us to Stephen Fewell and his wife Katherine Williams (Willyams). You probably already know about him because of his Texas link. He is a first cousin 3 times removed of your James L. Fewell. Anyway, his daughter, as of a few years ago, had all of his research material which she hoped to reorganize and make available in some manner. Unfortunately she was in ill health at the time, and I do not know what has happened to that material since. Perhaps you or some of the other Texas Fewells do know. It would be interesting to examine it. I would very much like to get together with others in the family. Stephen had four and maybe five sons. I know quite a bit about the descendants of two of them, but would like to know about the others. Also, even though there are still many Fewells in England, and I think Wales, I have not been able to find a link further back than Stephen's father William. Perhaps someone can connect us with some of the contemporary British Fewells. I can't. Please keep in touch. I am sure others will be interested in putting something together also.

Hi Carla

In replying to my response back in December, you asked about my line. Today, in responding to another post, I mistakenly answered your query as a part of that message. Please see the post above to Trudy dealing with my ancestry.
Perhaps my double ancestry has something to do with my frequent confusions.......Do ya think? Or is it just old age creeping up on me?

confusion

Have a family photo of their family and info regarding the family. I have been researching the fewells for quite a few years; so have info from quite a few sources. I am descended from James Fewell and his first wife's son John Macklin Fewell, his son was Noah Alonzo Fewell my great gf; whose daughter was Cloe Bell Fewell that married a Durham then married Wm. Beard my grandmother and grandfather. My name is Trudy you can email at tavalon@yahoo.com

Hi Terry
This came to me and not Trudy, but it was interesting. If you hear of a Fewell get together let me know.
Thanks
Carla
