To All: I am looking for descendents of Richard Harrell, Harrill Sr. of Augusta co., Va. Richard Harrell etc. of Augusta Co., Va had six sons; William, James, John, Moses, Aaron and Richard Jr. Several of them sold land their father had given them in Va. and moved to Nelson and other counties of Ky after the Rev. War (between 1780 and 1800). Need to find a direct male descendent who might be interested in taking the Harrell DNA test. This test could be of great help to those Harrell researchers who are having trouble proving where their line came from, N. VA., Eastern NC, MD or Pa. We have several participants who have proven their lines to E. NC but none who have proven their line to Richard Harrell Sr. of Augusta co., VA. Thanks for any Information, Clues or Discussion. G. Lee Hearl Authentic Appalachian Storyteller Abingdon, Va.

Mary, The NCGR provided me with the information that William COLE and Eliza THOMPSON married in Nelson Oct 26 1843. Bond was signed by Thomas Thompson and he made oath Eliza was over 21 Years. Other than their children and when Eliza died (1860 in Bullitt Co, KY) that is all I know. All of their children were born in Nelson Co and the last child Eliza had, Alice was born 1855. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Dottie

Oooh, I am also interested in the Spilsby STONE bunch. He married my husband's ancestor, Elizabeth BLAND. She may have been dead by 1813. I understand from BLAND expert genealogists that Spilsby had 11 children. Were any by Elizabeth? Who was his other wife(s)? I have this info for his children: Coleman, Barnet, Elijah, Nancy (who married Greenberry Griffin, I now know thanks very much to you), and Elizabeth. Please get in touch.

Hi Mary, Thanks for the offer to do lookups for others! I'm curious as to whether you might find reference to Greenbury Griffin in this resource. He moved to Nelson Co., KY, from Maryland in the late 1790's. He married Nancy Stone, daughter of Spilsby Stone of Virginia, in 1805 in Nelson Co. His occupation was school teacher. He may have had a brother Jesse Griffin. Thanks again for your 'random acts of genealogical kindness'! ;-) Regards, Terri McDonald Hauk [email protected]
