Richmond, VA Mar. 26, 1924 With regard to the Chadwell Book, I attempted to get a copy of the book a number of years ago, but none was available. I have the information from the book as pertains to my family because another Chadwell cousin, who owned a book allowed me access to it for a year. There are probably copies available for research through certain genealogy libraries. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
