Leondous was the son of William Henry Harwell and Lavina Tennessee Roberts. Lillie was the daughter of Charley G. Smith and Mary E. O’Neal.
Albert was the son of Barnett L. Chadwick and Frances Elizabeth Talley. Ora was the daughter of Theodore Ewing Davidson and Nancy Margaret Thomas.
His father also has Scottish and Irish ancestry.
Could anyone verify that I got the right parents?
Ancestry trees say Teddy Dawal Harwell married Paulina Julianna Ries. Teddy was the son of Valton and Inez. Paulina was born in Frankfurt am Main.
Okay, so I likely got the wrong father but the right paternal grandparents. I thought the father was Donald because of the closer age to Paulina. But Teddy and Paulina pretty much has to be his parents, don’t you think?
We can change to:
father – English
mother – German
