Re: Two Mississippi brothers off to war

Hello Kim, All records refer to your Henderson as Hamilton Randolph Hadsell not Henderson.

From my memory Hamilton R. Hadsell had been working at an ice house in Hamilton County, Ohio according to the 1880 United States census prior to moving to Belmont County and I believe he was married to Alice.

Felix was the first brother to settle in Belmont County, Ohio. According to the 1830 United States census reports there was a Joseph Hadsell living in Peas, Belmont County, Ohio. I suspect he may have been some type of relation to the Hadsell brothers of Mississippi but for now it is just speculation. Joseph Hadsell does not show up in census reports after 1830 in Belmont County from what I can see.

I suspect either for health issues or financial issues Hamilton moved to Belmont County to be closer to his brother Felix. While it's no longer a building there was a County home that sat across from where Hamilton is buried. From brief research many of the people who died at the County home were buried in the same graveyard as Hamilton R. Hadsell is buried.

The two brothers from what I can gather were very close.

I made it a point to make sure the library in St. Clairsville, Ohio had a copy of Felix Hadsell pension records that I made copies of at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. In the genealogy room they should have his pension records and it contains a wealth of information. Thx Dennis
