Dorothy Asked: Was Charlotte McIntire the mother of Jesse, John, James etc.? No, Charlotte McIntire married my gggrandfather, Hugh Herrall, Heral etc. who was a brother to Simon, Lucy, Rebecca and Mary Herrell etc. and all of them were children of John Herrell and Annah Campbell. John and Annah were both born abt. 1795 (Average Census ages). John died abt. 1874 (date of his will) and Annah died after 1880. It appears, from old family information and other sources, that the father of Jesse, James, John, Davis and William was also named Hugh Herrell.. This Hugh Herrell would have been born about 1760. I believe he is the Hugh Harrald etc. who married Rebecka Lakin abt. 1784 in Rowan (Rockingham) NC.. This Hugh Herrells', Harralds etc. family may have had some ties to the Donohoe family of Western NC.. I have been trying to find connections to Lakin and Donohoe for several years.. Old family lore in Mitchell co., NC says that Hugh Herrell, Harald etc. was drowned during a flash flood in a small branch behind his cabin near Big Rock Creek.. Davis Herrell, Harrell etc. lived near Big Rock Creek and Harrells' Hill in 1840 but moved to Haywood Co., NC before the 1850 census.. Some descendents of Davis now live in N.J.. they have been there since about 1930.. about the time the National Park Service took the land for the Smokey Mountain Park. There are still a few of them living in the area of the park. I am not sure they are descendents of Davis or not, however their family has been there for many years and had a silver mine in the area at one time.. G.
