Surnames: ROUSE, CARDELL, WOOTEN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QUB.2ACE/1034 Message Board Post: I have recently found out grandchild #5 is on the way and my daughter wanted a list of all the names in our family. So I did a query on my famiy file and this has brought some questions to mind on where the idea for some of these given names came from. CARDELL, this is the middle name of my Aunt Ellen Rouse. She passed away in March at the age of 97. She often told me she did not know much about the family as her father died in 1921 and her mother did not talk much about her family. Does anyone recognize this as a surname? Since we do not know her grandfather's family, Thomas Arendall Heath, I wonder if this is a clue for his family. WOOTEN, My 3great grandfather, Joshua Rouse named is second son, my 2great grandfather, Marcellous WOOTEN Rouse. Since we do not know anything aobut Joshua's family, could the Wooten's be relations? His first son, William Henry, lived only three months. Since these names are not found in his wife Susan Caswell's family (William being the exception) I wonder if they can be clues to Joshua's family.
