Individual Details

Selety Walters married Noel Waddell. William Simpson was bondsman. Her father, Robert Walters, gave permission.

A database found online suggested that Selethia died about 1836. I believe instead she was alive at least until after the 1850 census.

The following census records suggest children for Selethia & Noel Waddiell - they are not conclusively proved as being so.

1850. 2nd District, Caldwell Co KY, Hh 469
Noel Waddell, age 54, Farmer, b. VA
Silety, age 48, b. VA.
Mary, age 15, William age 13, Volney age 11, Wilmouth age 9, and Henry age 7, all born VA
John Butler, age 39, b. VA. Jane age 14, b. VA. [This age is probably wrong - this is probably an unidentified daughter who was age 10-15 in 1840.]
From a descendant of this family:
I found a document for the marriage of John Butler and Martha Jane Waddell, on Jan. 17, 1850. She is listed as the daughter of Noel. It was witnessed by Calvin Waddell.


A descendant also believes the following to be still other children:
1850. 1st District, Crittenden Co KY, Hh 236
Marshall Waddell, age 19, b. VA.
Eliza age 22, b. VA. William age 4 b. KY and Frances age 2 b. KY.
They were living in the household of William Redd age 28, b. KY, a wood chopper, along with Samuel McDaniel age 29, b. S.C., William Smith, age 17 and Samuel Smith age 16, b. KY. By 1860, Eliza had married William Redd and her two children had taken his surname.

Sarah A., age 28, b. KY
James B. 4, and Henry M. age 2

1850 Census. Caldwell Co KY. 2nd Dist, Hh 523
Living with the family of Daniel Mathis is
-------- Waddell, age 25, cooper, b. "unknown"
[Probably Calvin since he isn't found elsewhere in 1850]

Robt. Waddle age 22, b. KY. Henry Waddle age 14, b. KY, Seleta Waddle, age 18 [both Henry & Seleta listed as being in school] [I believe Robert was listed as Volney in 1850; Seleta was most likely Wilmouth - Wilmouth is traditionally a female name in this family. It would appear the parents are deceased.]
