Help with Rushing and Abel McCardle of Bibb and Wilkinson, GA, and Apalachicola
I posted the following message under an older posting but am repeating it here so that it will not be lost on the back page.
I see no documentation for the McArdles other than cemetery listings.Does anyone have a copy of the will of Cornelius McArdle?I believe that there is at least another McArdle brother, Abel G McArdle who was living in Bibb Co, GA, in 1840, in Santa Rosa, FL, in 1850, in Apalachicola, Santa Rosa, FL, in 1860 and 1870, and in Jacksonville, FL, in 1880.He was a shipbuilder living in Jacksonville the 1878-1879 Webbs Jacksonville Directory.
He inlisted in Co B 4th Florida Regiment Infantry in Apalachicola, FL, 30 Aug 1861, as did a "Russian" McArdle, who I assume is the "Pershing" McArdle on the 1850 Wilkinson, GA, census, but who is probably "Rushing" McArdle b. 1812 (48 years old at enlistment) and his son Mirabeau Lamar B.Abel's son James of Co A 4th Regt Inf died after being wounded during the Battle of Murphreesboro, TN, Jan 10, 1863.Abel's son Augustus served in Batty A Milton Light Artillery Battery Florida.
I will add the others later.
Here's my connection:My ancestor Richard Dean b. 1760 in Nash Co, NC, had a daughter who married James Steely.Their son Elijah D Steely married Jane (poss. Stevens), and Jane was a widow in 1850 with McArdle's in her household in Muscogee Co, GA.Elizabeth McArdle was probably Jane's sister.
Richard Dean's son Micajah Dean went to Florida and had a daughter Mary Ann Dean Rouseau, whose son John Louis Rousseau married Abel McArdle's daughter Dora Ann McArdle.
I believe that all of these McArdles are from the same family.I need help putting them together.
here are the census so far that I have accumulated today:
