Hello
I am working on a family history for a friend.This is what I have so far.
FEWEL
The Fewells probably came from Wales to America the later part of 1600 or the early part of 1700.
Were living in Culpepper county, VA in 1786. Shannon Jackson writes: descendants of John Fewell taken from World Family tree #3854 Two families of Fewells came from Carnarvin South Wales, settled near Fredericksburg, VA in 1760. Lt. Col. John Fewell served on Washington's staff during the Revolutionary War.
