  • Notes 

    • Notes: Simon Cardwell participated in the 1805 Land Lottery for the newly opened Cherokee Lands in Georgia. He had two draws for this lottery and they both came up blank. His son, John Cardwell, received land in the 1827 Land Lottery in Georgia along with Simon Cardwell. John Cardwell is listed as a former soldier in that record. John Cardwell received a lot in Section 1, which would have been Lee County, Georgia. Simon Cardwell received a lot in each of two drawings, both in Carroll County, Georgia. Their county of residence at that time was Henry County, Georgia. In the 1805 Land Lottery records, Simon Cardwell is listed as a resident of Oglethrope County, Georgia. There is no Census record for Georgia before 1820. In 1820 he is listed in the Madison County, Georgia census. Troup and Carroll Counties opened up for settlement in 1826 after the land was acquired from the Creek Indians.

      Children of Simon Cardwell & Unknown wife:
      1. Nancy Cardwell – born in 1791 in Georgia according to the 1850 census.. She married John Muckleroy on November 21, 1815 in Madison County, Georgia. They were married prior to the taking of the 1820 census and does not show up on that record. Being that Nancy was married in Madison County, Georgia she is added to the family of Simon Cardwell. Nancy Cardwell was born in 1791 in Virginia and married John McElroy. He was born in 1791 in Georgia. They are found in the 1850 census of Paulding County, Georgia.
