> Mary Hollingsworth Burch b 19 Aug 1799 died 29 Jun 1875. > md. twice, 1st to James Harrell) > Children: > James Burch Harrell b 21 Nov 1816 > Joseph Lewis Harrell b 4 Nov 1818 > Elizabeth Thomas Harrell b 13 May 1820 > Sarah Ann Perkins Harrell b 11 Feb 1822 Kathy, you are amazing! I don¹t know why I couldn¹t see it before! There were TWO James! I couldn¹t for the life of me figure out why some people said that James was born about 1790 and others said he was born about 1818.... How could I have been so blind? Anyway, it would appear that James Burch HARRELL named his children after their aunts and uncles, thus further complicating the matter. As best as I can tell, James HARRELL and Mary BURCH had the four children you mentioned, and then James Burch HARRELL had three of his own: Joseph (b. abt 1840), m. Elinor PETTIGREW Elizabeth T(homas?) (1 Mar 1842-12 Apr 1904), m.1865 Albert A. MYERS Sarah Perkins (b. abt 1844), m. Samuel BLACKWELL Can anyone confirm or deny this? And while we¹re at it, who was the mother of James Burch HARRELL¹s children, since it obviously wasn¹t Mary BURCH?
