  • Notes 
    • Family research from a Manuscript titled "Genealogical Records of Richardsons and Waddills of Virginia and Kentucky" written by Mrs. Stacy [Pocahontas Hewell Hutchinson] in 1939 has information passed along from letters written in 1902 by Mrs. Mary Waddill of Woodville, McCracken Co KY. She is said to have been a great aunt of Mrs. Stacy and was 88 years old at the time the letters were written. Mary's father was Charles Waddell of Pittsylvania Co VA, son of a Noel Waddill. She gives a birth date of 28 Jan 1797 for Noel and a birth date for his father Charles as 9 Jan 1775.

      The William Waddill I am interested in was married to Anne Carter, daughter of John Carter & wife Mary Cunningham. Where did they go after they left Pittsylvania County, Virginia? According to a descendant of one of Anne's brothers they went to Alabama but I have not found any sign of them in Alabama.


      This is what was written:


      "Richard and James Carter and their sister Anne Waddill went to Alabama, as did their kinsmen John and Michaux Cunningham."
