Wadell changed to Wardell OH,IL,1800's
We think that the father (a Wadell and may have come from an financily influenal family) of George Wadsworth Wardell was a missionary to the Indians and married a Native American.Family ojected and demanded he change his surname.I am looking for the missionary, his wife, and children.
George Wadsworth Wardell was born April 4, 1854. Married Mary Susan Edwards.There children were:
Stacy
Minnie
Sarah
Leroy (my great-grandfather)
Nona
RaymondLeroy was born September 3, 1883 in (we think) west Salem, Illinios. He married Naoma Lunda Phelps in Decemeber 7, 1904 in West Salem, Illinois.Children were:
Mary

Frances
Samuel
Trying to find the roots to this side of the family.
