Yes, Thomas W had a brother William b. 29 October, 1710 and he is the father of the Joseph b. 1738 who may be my direct ancestor leading to Joseph b. 1799 in Franklin County, PA.

I believe that James Waddel had William, John, Robert and Francis as siblings as noted in the Waddells of Colonial PA and VA.

Is there a way to send you documents through this site?

Thank you for this quick response that makes me feel better about the difficulty in finding anything substantive re my Waddell family line that becomes muddied past Joseph Waddle b. 1799 d. 1854 in Franklin County, PA.  I have this Joseph's death cert that shows Joseph Waddle as his father and Martha Waddle [Caldwell] as his mother.  I also have Joseph's will that helps define this family in 1818 at his death [I'd be happy to send any or all of this documentation to you if you want it].

I went to Chambersburg, Franklin County last week and visited the Franklin County Historical Society and the FC Archives from which I got some good maps that show parcels owned by Thomas, James, and Joseph. 

Truthfully, I'm hanging my hat on the Waddells of Colonial PA and VA lineage that asserts the William b. c 1715 and his son Joseph b. 1738 connected to my certain Joseph b. 1799 d. 1854.  This isn't a perfect connection but it's certainly worth consideration.

Also, I don't believe that the Blind Preacher had any children named Joseph.

Hello - My name is Mike Waddell and I live in Emmaus, PA.

I have been researching my Waddell family line for many years and I'm stuck at Joseph Waddle b. 1799 d. 1854 in Franklin County, Pennsylvania.  His death certificate states that his father was Joseph Waddle [b. 1750 d. 1818] and his mother is Martha [Caldwell b. 1775 d. 1826].  The problem is that I can't find any information about Joseph b. 1750.

The line I believe may connect is from John the Martyr Waddell via William b. 1660 [brother of the Martyr?] who was the lone Waddell survivor of the Crown of London shipwreck in December, 1679.  He made it to Ireland and subsequently his four sons came to America and settled in the Franklin County area.  The Waddells of Colonial Pennsylvania and Virginia publication, 1992 asserts that William's son William b. c1715 had a son Joseph b. 1738 d. 1818 who had a son Joseph b. 1799 d. 1854 but I can't find any source for the Joseph b. either 1738 or 1750.

Does anyone at this forum have any information that might help me?

Regards,
Mike Waddell

Hello Jim- My name is Mike Waddell and I live in Emmaus, PA, USA.  I've researched my Waddell ancestry off and on for several years to the point that I'm reasonably confident that my family line runs from John The Martyr, William b. 1660 and on the Crown of London, William b.c.1715 in America, etc.  I have a few questions about the Waddell line within this family branch...are you knowledgeable about this family line or is there anyone else you might suggest that I contact?

This is also my first use of Rootschat.com so suggestions would also be welcome there as well.
Regards,
