No one can seem to connect John GORRELL who married "Hannah" 1st, Anne GREEN 2ND, and died in Bath Co., KY 1830 + to anyone. He was said to have been in Dauphin Co., PA, but the two names can be pronounced so similar, that those not used to it, cannot detect it. She was the County Historian, but is now retired. Too, I do believe that the SELL families there in Northampton County are mine. We have Abraham, Henry & Jacob names in our family also, except that we spell it ZELL. Her name is Dottie Kessler. I don't know her husband's name. I was looking for the Will of John GREYBILL and wife, Hannah, when she asked why. "He is my 4th GGF." she said. Mine too. Seems some of these came out of Rockingham Co., VA. but I don't know just whom, and cannot seem to locate Thomas ZELL f/o Peter, who was born PA 1795. Buried Prinveville, OR 1881. Peter states in 1873, that he was 73, born in PA 1795, and was living in OR. You see Peter's daughter Phebe was my GGmor. married Patrick FITZSIMMONS s/o Patrick, Cumberland Co., PA who died 1826/7, married Elizabeth Unangst.
