Surnames: Chadwell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/2NI.2ACEB/32.44 Message Board Post: I have been to the start of the Chadwell Gap Trial that is located near Ewing, VA close to the Chadwell Station location. The trial takes you to the Ridge Trial, Hensley (settlement), and Sand Cave. If you go to the visitor center at Cumberland Gap, you will find a huge map of the area that shows the location of Chadwell Gap in the mountains to the east of the Cumberland Gap. Years ago in my research I found a deed listing which indicated that Capt. David Chadwell owned a portion of the Cumberland Mtns. or land that butted against the mountains. I believe the gap is named in his honor. Capt. David Chadwell was my 4th great-grandfather.
