Noted in this old message on Nettles forum that you mention a Rachael Nettles wed a Hugh Barfield.Know it's been some time since this was posted but just now starting to kick around the bones in the Nettles area in hopes it may help me find more on my Harrell Simmons link.
Suppose per will of Jacob Harrell 1734-1787 that he named his daughter Selah who wed Silas Simmons.Seems per others she first wed a Joshua Nettles as his second wife and he had been left with two minor children Joshua Jr and James Nettles.These became step children or adopted children by Silas Simmons as they were named in his will dated 1795.Seems Joshua Jr Nettles wed the daughter, Hester Simmons, of Selah Harrell and Silas Simmons.Also some say James may have wed a younger sister to Selah Harrell and had son named George who is named in Silas Simmons will.Also along these lines is that Jacob lists among his children a Leacy Barfield, haven't done any looking into the Barfield Harrell connection yet.Jacob was from St John Parish SC while Silas was from St James Goose Creek Parish SC all areas in and around Charleston where wills were filed on both Jacob Harrell in 1787 and Silas Simmons in 1795.
