William J. Norrell & Richard Norrell
I have a William J. Norrell b abt 1842 SC who married Nancy E. unknown.She was b abt 1848 AL. They had several children and resided in Lee Co., AL in 1880.
I also have Richard Norrell b abt 1821 SC, known to have been married to Susannah Butler b 1817 in SC, in 1840 in SC. Richard & Susannah relocated to Chambers Co., AL by 1850 where Susannah died about 1852, leaving 6 young children.
In 1853 Richard married Susan McCool, who was Susannah's niece by Elizabeth Butler McCool.Elizabeth and Susan, and some of Elizabeth's children resided next to Richard and Susannah Norrell in 1850 Chambers Co., AL.
In Elizabeth's household was Matilda H. McCool Dennis, Elizabeth's daughter and Susan McCool Norrell's sister. Matilda had a daughter by Jessie M. Dennis, named Nancy E., born abt 1848, AL.I am searching and reviewing information to see if this is the same Nancy E. who is married to William J. Norrell.
The Norrell lines were in Chambers Co., AL in 1850 and 1860.I have not searched in 1870, but find them in Lee Co., AL in 1880.William J. and Richard live a few households apart in 1880 but in the same district, Ridge Grove, as do a couple of other Norrells.Nancy E. was on the 1850 & 1860 Chambers Co., AL with her mother and gm, and then I find Elizabeth, the gm, residing with Richard Norrell and Susan McCool Norrell and 5 of their 8 supposed children.
I also find where a William J. Norrell and James W. (Washington) Norrell up for the 47th Alabama Company.This James Washington Norrell was a son of the above Susannah Butler Norrell.Incidently, James Washington Norrell was named after his uncle Washington Butler, brother to Elizabeth and Susannah.I have been told that William J. and James W. signed up with Theophilus F. Botsford.Mr. Botsford was married to Nancy Jane Norrell, James Washington Norrell's sister.
If anyone has information on the above, please contact me.I have limited Norrell information in my database at this point, but do have extensive McCool information if anyone is interested.
Thanks!
