Comments

• There is a family tradition that Richard's wife was Jane Cummins from Irelan d. If he did marry her, he was married to Elizabeth Cardwell by 1756. Elizabeth is named in the will of her father which was filed in the Henrico Chancery Court case 1789-2.
• There is conjecture on the parents of Richard Bandy being Rob & Mary Bandy in the edition of the Bandy Gallimaufry by Jane Samuel Eubank.
• Thomas was in the Revolutionary War (enlisted 1 Aug 1781) and moved to Wilson Co TN after his brother Richard.
• Richard was probably a Tory sympathizer. He was charged, but there was no further action so he probably gave a new oath of fidelity to the Americans.
• Elizabeth may have been a sister to Richard. She is named as a spinster in a legal suit in Jun 1756. Both Richard and wife Elizabeth testified on her behalf.
• Solomon is not named in his father's will and is placed here by family tradition.

Comments

• Thomas Cardwell purchased land in Henrico County in 1686, one year after the death of Thomas of Middlesex. Was this his father?
• 20 Apr 1689 land grant from Nathaniel Bacon 550 acres for paying the transportation fee of 11 persons to VA. It bounded land of Samuel Bridewater. It lay between the southern and the northern branches of Gilly's Creek. (Today the city of Richmond sits on this site, and National Cemetery Road crosses Gilly's Creek, as well as many other streets of the city.) Sold 275 acres to George Fairfax, 50 Thomas Wood (stepson by Anne and her first husband?) 275 acres to Robert Green. 50 acres to Mary & James Franklin, 20 July 1713, 50 acres to Eleanor and Richard Williams
• A deposition in Henrico County dated 1690 listed his age at that time as 30 years old
