Carolina. Census records indicate he was still living in Pickens Co. Georgia in 1870. Died in Benton Co. prior to 1880 (can't read date on stone). Is Sarah Darnell, who married Andrew Jackson Reece February 1, 1863, in Pickens Co. GA, his daughter? She is buried in the Georgia Flat Cemetery with Andrew Jackson Reece and William is buried about 1/2 mile away in a small, unmarked cemetery with several others (graves - no markers). He has the only readable stone. His widow, Martha (Brooks) Darnell, is in Benton County in the 1880 census living living in the area of Georgia Flat. Martha Brooks, wife of Isom Brooks, is also buried at Georgia Flat. I appreciate any information on William and his family. Thanks!

Sarah's sister, Mary, was my gr-gr-gr-grandmother. I have the following info on their father, William Darnell. He was born in Wilkes County NC in 1810 and died in Benton County AR in 1870. He married Martha "Patsy" Brooks on March 3, 1833, in Rutherford County NC and she died in 1880 in Benton County AR. They had 8 children that I've found born in either Pickens or Cherokee County GA. William's parents were Thomas C. Darnell, born 1787 in Wilkes County NC. He died September 27, 1861. He married Sarah Saunders, born 1792 in Wilkes County NC. If you have any additional info, please share! Thanks, Carol Brown "gc-gateway@rootsweb.com" <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> wrote: This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
