Due to the fact that Larkin Sewell was living next to Susan and Caroline Sewell in 1870, there is a strong possibility of a genealogical relationship between them (as stated by many researchers). However, I've not been able to find solid evidence of this relationship. I suspect that, as was the case during this period, there were two brothers named Samuel Sewell.
