Documented HARRELL line-can anyone help?
Here is what I have.Let me know if you can help.This family is turning out to be elusive.
Jesse Harrell m. Rosannah Rushing on 1/30/1831 in Montgomery, AL by a JP named E. Pond. (Viewing records 121929-121929of 149224).
From census records that my Uncle has, Jesse and Rosannah had the following children (may be a partial list):
Levi Thomas Harrell
John P. Harrell
Abram C. Harrell (might be Abraham)
Jesse W. Harrell
Phebe E. Harrell
Matthew E. Harrell (deceased by 1860)
Other children that they are credited as having are:
Solomon Harrell
Jane Harrell
Eli Harrell
Rosannah Harrell
George Harrell
Samuel Harrell
I do not have any documentation on the six children listed above.
My uncle has the census documentation that Levi Thomas Harrell was living in Farmerville, LA during the 1860 census.
In his house were listed:
Levi Thomas Harrell, 28, farmer from AL
R. Smith Harrell, 27, from SC
R. Jane Harrell, 6
Susan Victoria, 4
Mary Elizabeth, 1
A. C. Harrell, 24 (probably brother Abram)
We have documentation from the 1830 census and 1840 census that a John P. Harrell was living in Pike, Co. AL.He had a wife named Cathrine.
We have documentation that Levi Thomas Harrell was accidentally killed on 10/24/1860 in Farmerville, Union Parish, LA.His wife gave birth to a son after Levi's death.He was named Thomas Levi Harrell.
We have documentation that Thomas Levi Harrell married Leticia Soileau on 3/22/1882.
I don't have documentation yet but hope to visit his resting place soon and verify that Thomas Levi Harrell died on 7/16/1944.It is my understanding that he rests in Pauls Cemetary outside of LeCompte, LA... (I will verify this).
Thomas Levi and Leticia Soileau Harrell had a son named Oscar Harrell.He died on 1/1/1944.I do not have documentation for this.I will be visiting his resting place as well.It is my understanding that he rests in Pauls Cemetary outside of LeCompte, LA as well.
Oscar's son, Virgil Ray Harrell was born in Pineville, LA.He is my father.
QUESTIONS/ASSUMPTIONS:
I have emails from people stating that they believe the P. in John P. Harrell (son of Jesse, brother and executor of Levi Thomas Harrell's estate) stands for Pleasant.Can anyone verify this?If so, I have been told that he had a son named John Amanda.I am looking for documentation on this relationship.Can anyone out there help me with the connection?Does anyone out there know of any of Jesse's other children.... the six that I have no documentation on?
Any help at all would be appreciated.
Thanks,
