1815 Murrell Family Bible
There was a 2007 post about a Murrell Family Bible containing info from 1758- 1869; it may be found at http://genforum.genealogy.com/philips/messages/649.htmlhttp://genforum.genealogy.com/philips/messages/649.html
It lists Elizabeth Philips marrying a Murrell in 1799. It also has two funeral notices on the inside cover: Mr. George Simmons (11-3-1866) and Capt. W.E. Murrell (11-24-1869).
Here is my reply to that msg:
If anyone knows the whereabouts of this bible, we would really like to share info! We have been searching for the parents of Wiley Anderson Murrell, b. 02 Feb 1806 in Virginia, and d. 27 Mar 1885 in Prairie City, Jasper Co., Iowa. He married Mary Magdalen Hons/Honts/Honce (1806-1887), in Botetourt, VA, and they later migrated to Roseville, Warren, IL about 1853, thence to Jasper Co., IA in 1868. See Find a Grave memorial #39584671 for more info about this family.
Please contact me at [email protected] if you know more about this family or this Murrell Bible. I will be posting information from W.A. and Mary M. Murrell's family bible this week on the blog at HeritageRamblings.net.
