My information (Confederate pension records) indicates that Mary Ann Burrell received a pension as the widow of William Jesse. Application was first made in October of 1914. I do not apparently have the exact date of W. J.'s death. He served as a Private in Co. G, 62d North Carolina Infantry, enlisting July 14, 1862 and served until the regiment's surrender. >William Burrell was the son of Mark Burrell and Hulda Denton. Correct. >Rachel Reed >was the daughter of Robert Reed and Pherabie Talley. No information on her. Was she a first wife for W. J. ? >Mark Burrell was the son Walter N. Burrell and Elizabeth Unknown. Mark Burrell (b. 10/22/1806) was the son of Walter N. Burrell, Jr. and Phoebe Pruitt. Phoebe's parents were Michael Pruitt and Elizabeth Bright. > Hulda was >the daughter of Samuel Denton and Elizabeth Chastain. Correct. >Do our Burrells connect? Apparently so :-) My line: Grandmother: Alice Burrell G.Grandfather: Absalom Madison Leander Burrell G.G. Grandfather: Samuel Percy Burrell (brother to William Jesse) Allen Sullivant Brentwood, Tenn.
