NOTE: The Cardwell/Carlton Family Bible is an important source in helping establish the Cardwell lines from King & Queen County, VA. This line has received little research and may hold the answer to some of the unsolved family relationships that have identified by the Cardwell DNA Project. A copy of this record is located at the Library of Virginia. This transcription is accurate to include the various spellings. Any errors are my own. Rand Cardwell
