Wow! Thanks. On the death and birth things I have a researcher who works diligently and she'll get them for me. Thanks again -----Original Message----- >From: gallag70@fuse.net >Sent: Dec 29, 2007 8:50 AM >To: Wiley Alston Jarrell <wajarrell@earthlink.net> >Subject: Vashti Jarrell > >Hi Wiley, > > Nice to hear from you - it's been a while. I may be able to offer a little bit in the way of firming up some of our Jarrell sources. I'd certainly like to help - you've certainly done lots over the years, and I'd like to kick in a little if I can. > > I've spent some of my genealogy "fun time" over the last few years looking for sources to shore up some of the data that I've collected over the last 27 years. One of the big helps to that effort has been the availability of West Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri death certificates on line (my Thompson ancestors left West Virginia and settled in Missouri). I've untangled quite a few family lines using these records. > > As to Vashti Jarrell (daughter of Benjamin Harrison Jarrell and Dorcas Maynard) I can offer the following: >1. Hannah (Jarrell) See - (1864-1942) > Hannah is Vashti's daughter and the wife of David Garred See. On Hannah's Kentucky State death certificate, her mother's name is given as Vashti Jarrell. > >2. Millard J. Wilson (1883-1943) > Millard is Vashti's son. On Millard's Kentucky State death certificate, his mother's name is given as Vashti Jarrell. > >3. Melissa (Jarrell) Miller (1866-1916) > Melissa is Vashti's daughter, and was married to unknown MILLER. On Melissa's Kentucky State death certificate, her mother's name is given as Vashti Jarrell. > >All three of the above individuals gave their father's name as Mordicai Wilson. > > I think that gives pretty good evidence for Vashti. I'll look at what I have for Rachel and forward that also. > > Would you like copies of any of the above death certificates? They're available on Ancestry.com but I don't know if you have access to that. I could download them and send them if that would be helpful. > >Glen Wiley Alston Jarrell 15610 Edenvale Friendswood Texas 77546 wajarrell@earthlink.net 281-482-3671 <><
