CHADWICK GENEALOGY
Compiled by Glenn Gohr


Most of what I know about Mary Chadwick and the Chadwick connection comes through my ongoing study of the WOLVERTON/WOOLVERTON family. There are many questions raised about Mary Chadwick's ancestry. The best understanding I have concerning Mary Chadwick who married Charles Woolverton is through a chart that was supplied by A. J. "Jim" Wright of San Jose, California. His information came from another fine researcher, Nora Wolverton of Indiana.

Here is my CHADWICK lineage as far as can be determined:

  1. John CHADWICK, b. ca. 1630 Rochedale, England, d. ca. 1689-1695 New Jersey; md. 1st, ca. 1644 in England to Elizabeth SCHOLEFIELD; md. 2nd, ca. 1688 in New Jersey to Mrs. Elizabeth (OWLE) LEET. **NOTE: Elizabeth Owle Leet was the mother of Mary Leet Chadwick by her first husband, Daniel Leet. John Chadwick ADOPTED Mary Leet after his marriage to Elizabeth (Owle) Leet. Thus Mary's maiden name is really LEET and not CHADWICK.
  2. Mary LEET CHADWICK, b. ca. 1674 prob. in VA, d. ca. 1751 Hunterdon Co., NJ; md. ca. 1697 to Charles WOOLVERTON, b. ca. 1660 prob. Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England, d. ca. 1746 Hunterdon Co., NJ
  3. Joel WOOLVERTON, b. 31 May 1715 Hunterdon Co., NJ, d. 1795 Hunterdon Co., NJ; md. ca. 1740 Hunterdon Co., NJ to Elizabeth ROBINS, b. ca. 1720 Hunterdon Co., NJ, d. ca. 1800 Hunterdon Co., NJ
  4. Andrew WOOLVERTON, b. ca. 1750 Hunterdon Co., NJ, d. ca. 1812 Maury Co., TN; md. ca. 1780 to Sarah Ann STONE, b. ca. 1760, d. ca. 1800 Somerset, KY
  5. James Matthew WOOLVERTON, b. 12 May 1797 Somerset, KY, d. 24 July 1878 McNairy Co., TN; md. 22 Sept. 1817 Columbia, TN to Agatha WILLIAMS, b. 2 June 1802 Maury Co., TN, d. 13 July 1874 McNairy Co., TN
  6. Nancy Artemisia WOOLVERTON, b. 28 Aug. 1829 Maury Co., TN, d. 24 Jan. 1926 Adamsville, TN; md. 28 Dec. 1848 Jonesboro, MS to Luther Rice LITTLEFIELD, b. 25 Dec. 1826 Spartanburg, SC, d. 25 Mar. 1903 Adamsville, TN
  7. Sarah Agatha LITTLEFIELD, b. 28 Oct. 1849 Jonesboro, MS, d. 7 Feb. 1940 Leapwood, McNairy Co., TN; md. 18 Oct. 1868 McNairy Co., TN to William Ashley HARRIS, b. 19 May 1849 Hardin Co., TN, d. 12 Mar. 1916 McNairy Co., TN
  8. James David HARRIS, b. 9 Jan. 1871 McNairy Co., TN, d. 22 Sept. 1938 Marlow, OK; md. 28 Oct. 1894 McNairy Co., TN to Docia Bell PYRON, b. 5 Oct. 1872 McNairy Co., TN, d. 1 Sept. 1944 Lyford, TX
  9. William Earl HARRIS, b. 8 Aug. 1895 McNairy Co., TN, d. 5 Jan. 1967 Cortez, CO; md. 12 Dec. 1915 Parker Co., TX to Orpha Antonia Hazel GARVIN, b. 11 Nov. 1895 Jack Co., TX, d. 21 Dec. 1979 Cortez, CO *These are my grandparents.

ROOTSWEB CHADWICK MESSAGE BOARDS

There are several Message Boards on Rootsweb which are set up for the CHADWICK surname. These boards are for posting information in the following categories: BIBLE, BIOGRAPHY, BIRTH, CEMETERY, CENSUS, DEATH, DEED, IMMIGRATION, LOOKUP, MARRIAGE, MILITARY, OBITUARY, PENSION, QUERIES, and WILLS. The search perameters and drop down screen on the main page allow you to do a key word search or to view all postings according to one of the above categories. Click on the icon below to access the Chadwick Message Boards.

Query Post a query (or information from any one of the above categories) on any CHADWICK name or related family. Please give dates, and locations they lived. Try to give as much information as possible.


An online genealogy forum for posting queries has also been set up specifically for the CHADWICK family. It can be found at the following address:

    http://genforum.familytreemaker.com/chadwick

***Note***During the Fall of 1998, GenForum combined with Family Tree Maker, which means that all queries and information posted to that site becomes the property of Family Tree Maker. This is still a good site to look up information and get contact names for the CHADWICK lines you are searching, but be advised that if you now post a new query or a response to something on that site, chances are that sometime in the future Family Tree Maker will include that information on a CD-ROM which they will sell for profit to anyone who is interested. I do not like the idea of someone else using my hard researched information and ideas and selling them for a profit without my knowledge. This same practice is evident on all of the Family Tree Maker pages which are found on the internet, if you will read the disclaimer notices on those pages. I recommend the Family Tree Maker pages as good look up pages, but I don't recommend posting information there. Similar things can be said for Ancestry.com and MyFamily.com which are connected to each other and seek to make a profit from genealogical materials on the internet.
