Surnames: Waddell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5gC.2ACE/742.2.1 Message Board Post: Any relationship my family had with the Waddell who was one of three co-founders of the Pony Express must be back in Ireland prior to 1800. I have no info on the father of my Robert Waddell who immigrated in 1820 from County Donegal. His mother came over abt 1826 and his brother John arrived after 1832 from Maine with his family. It is assumed their father died prior to their mother immigrating. I do know that my Robert lived on or near the Montgomery Estate at Convoy which is close to Raphoe. He was a gardener/landscaper. I would like to continue an exchange of info with you but would prefer using e-mail. ***waddell***gen***at***carolina.rr.com Remove the *** from above and convert at to the symbol to form my email.
