Biography

Son of John Waddill/Waddell and Rachel Quee.

The following is an excerpt from a letter by Seth's son, John Sevier Waddell, dated 13 Jan 1873, written from Springfield, Missouri:

"My Father, Seth Quee Waddill, was born in Pennsylvania, on the 18th. day of March 1767. His father, John Waddill, was born near Londonderry, Ireland, came to Philadelphia, Pa., and married Miss Rachel Quee, in 1761. I think he was called a Protestant Irishman, and by some called Scotch-Irish, as Waddill is a Scotch name."

"My grandmother, Rachel Waddell, formerly Rachel Quee, was a native of Philadelphia County, Pa. Her father, my great-grandfather was a Scotchman. Her Mother was by name White and of German blood and related to the celebrated David Rittenhouse of Pennsylvania. My father, Seth Quee Waddill, married Mary Burdine in Pendleton District. She was a native of Culpeper County, Virginia, and at the age of ten years her father moved to South Carolina, where she married my Father at the age of 18."^[1]

Mary Waddill, aged 50-60, is head of household in the 1830 Census for Cocke County, Tennessee.^[2]
