Too much to do and too little time to do it in. It doesn't help that I get easily sidetracked while researching if I find something interesting totally of no consequence to my original search :) Following is a list of what I have lined and up and progress so far (usually zero).

If I interept it correctly, it is completely erroneous! This information applies to Reuben Harrell/Herrell who died in Washington co., Va. in 1825, not to a John Harrell/Herrell.. Exception: Reuben Harrell who married Rebecca Smith in Shenandoah Co., Va. was not, to my knowledge, born in Bertie Co., N.C.. and did not live in Anson co. N.C.. and could not have enlisted in the militia at age seventeen in in 1778.. He married in Shenandoah co., Va. in 1770 according to his Rev. War Records... Please try to CORRECT this information before posting on other sites.. Note: I have found No Record of a John Harrell dying in Washington Co. Va. in 1825.. I have found Proof that Reuben died in Washington co. in 1825.. Thank You, G. Lee Hearl Authentic Appalachian Storyteller Abingdon, Virginia
