Hi,
Since I posted my original message on my great grandmother,
Sarah Frances Harrell McCook, I have found more info.Including evidence that the date of birth I gave is incorrect.
I have found out that Sarah Frances Harrell's parents were:
John G. Harrell and Adeline Matilda Harper.From Decatur County, GA. Marriage date 21 January 1855 in Decatur County, GA - marriage book "A" page 238.
also found this 1880 Suwannee County Census for my Harrell family:
Census Place: Precinct 2, Suwannee, Florida

James A. HARRELL Son M S W(believe this should be James O rather than A.) (have to check original micro)

John F. HARRELL Son M S W 15
GA., Occ: Works On Farm Fa: GA Mo: GA
Matilda E. HARRELL Dau F S W
13 GA., Occ: Works On Farm Fa: GA Mo: GA
From age on census record it would put her year of birth
closer to 1859.I believe she was born between 1857 & 1859.
I got the original d.o.b from her headstone.So, when researching.... remember to find more than source for dates if possible:) because the headstone info is not always correct.
If anyone has connections to this Harrell family, I would like very much to hear from and share any research data.
Thanks,
Linda
