Hello Cousin,

Endimmian "Dimon" Adwell married Margaret Hunt in Monroe County, Ky. about 1840. In 1850 they were in Barren Co., Ky. By 1851 they had moved to Edmonson Co., KY. Dimon died there in 1864-1865 of Small Pox. Their youngest son, Dimon Smith Adwell was my grandfather.

Georgia Ann Adwell married Anthony B. "Andy" Dreisbach from Wresbaden, Germany. They were married in Bowling Green, Warren County, Ky. on 26 October 1887. Georgia met him while she was working as a Chamber Maid at Mammoth Cave Hotel.

I wrote a book on the Adwell Family several years ago and have a considerable amount of information on this family. Please email me for additional information. lekim@scrtc.com

Looking forward to exchanging information,

Mikel Meredith
