His parents are supposedly James HARRELL (b.1790?) and Mary Hollingsworth BURCH (b.18 Aug 1799). Can anybody add to this? Of particular interest: 1. When and where was the elder James born? 2. Did he have a middle name? 3. Where was Mary born? 4. Where were James and Mary married? 5. Where were James Burch HARRELL and his three siblings (Joseph Lewis, Elizabeth Thomas, and Sarah Ann Perkins) born? 6. Most importantly: who was James Burch HARRELL1s wife? He obviously had one, as he seems to have had three children! Thanks in advance, Jeff Drake >> Hi Jeff, Your families, Burch, Harrell, and Perkins, surely do ring a bell with me, as far as Person and Caswell County, NC is concerned. My Drakes were also very near in Orange County NC. Have you looked in North Carolina? Best regards, John Fox Winston Salem, NC
