FYI ... the Jarrell Plantation website is as follows: http://gastateparks.org/info/jarrell The "Mr. Jarrell" you are most likely aluding to died a few years ago. Philip Haynes, the nephew of said Allene Jarrell, lives next to the plantation and has a B&B that he runs at the site. It's a great place to stay, then walk across the lot and talk with the park rangers about the information you are requesting. The rangers are well informed on the genealogical treasures found associated with this family. My family is also related to the Jarrells, the Barfield's and the Middlebrooks. I have a plethora of information that I am most willing to share. May I be of any assistance? If so, please contact me directly at im52ioblu@hotmail.com.
