I am the great-granddaugter of James Perry Harrell father of Jessie Washington Harrell father of Eugene Jesse Harrell, father of me.I'm not a serious genealogist, but I'm interested.You might check for Herrell, too.I've seen the gravestone of Uncle Eb, and it has the Herrell spelling.Fortunately, my father was alive and he knew who was buried there.
I'd be interested in how you're connected to this family since I've wondered where the Harrells came from before they came to Ga.I was always told that the original was the youngest of three brothers from Ireland, that he was raised by a lady that was on the same boat but who was unrelated, and no one knows what happened to the other two brothers.This may be an "urban legend", but until I have evidence that our strain of Harrells were here before James Perry H., I'll keep believing what daddy told me.
