                       Information found on 1850 Tenn. census, 1860 and 1870 Ark. and 1880 Tx.

    Some of this information was found in court records and census records of
    Lawrence Co., Tenn; and from information supplied by Charley L. McGee, 938 No.
    Warren Ave., OK City, and Bonnie (Reddell) Idsardi  of Okmulgee, Ok.
    This information was compiled during the 1980's and published in the Reddell,
    Riddle, Reddel Trail. The Trail was obtained in Pulaski, Lawrence, Tenn. Public
    Library and additional pages were supplied by Bonnie during May, 1990.

    The Reddell family lived in an area of Lawrence Co., Tennessee called West
    Point.  Martha's family left after the 1860 census and settled for a time in
    the Newton Co., Arkansas area.  They later went to Brownwood, Tx, Oklahoma and
    Colorado.

    In the early 1880's missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
    Saints worked in the area of West Point.  Several families were baptized into
    the church and after the murder of two of the missionaries they left the area
    and moved eventually to Kelsey, Texas.  Kelsey was an area set aside as a
    gathering place for the Saints in the South.  Two of the prominent families
    that settled in the area of East Texas were the Tefteller's and the Dodd's.
    Another family was the Bryant's.  Although no connection has been discovered
    between the Kelsey group and the Reddell family it can be assumed that
    somewhere their paths must have crossed and possibly ancestors are shared.  At
    the present time this is the closest pioneer connection we have to brag about
    because we have never found as much as one member in our history.
