    2. Here's what I have: (I'll try not to confuse you...) David Richard BELLEW m. Mary Jane POTTER 23 Dec 1868 in Giles County, TN. D. Richard's sister, Lucy Bellew JOHNS married W. G. RUTHERFORD in Giles County in 1873. Her first husband William Carrol JOHNS was killed in the Civil War in Oct 1866 and a son, B. Melvin JOHNS was born Nov 1866. Lucy & W. G. had children, Griffin, b. 1875, Mary C., born 1881, a third child, name and b.d. unknown. Griffin I. Rutherford and I. J. POLLEY (?) were married in Giles County by JP Oscar HARVELL/HARWELL in 1896. James Dall HARVILL/HARVEL married (1) Loretta POTTER (sis. of Mary Jane) (2) sis. of Mary Jane and Loretta - her name is unknown. James Dall and wife #1 had children Vida (b. 1881), Alonzo, Lula, Ella, and Della. Children with wife #2 are Oscar, Tom, John Bud, and Daisy. James, Loretta and (sis. name unknown) all died young and some of their children were raised by Richard and Mary Jane BELLEW in Logan County, AR and Creek Territory, OK. Since there was a child named Oscar, probably born c. 1890, there must have been other "Oscar" names in the earlier Harvel/Harwell/Harvil families. HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS??? Was W. G. Rutherford named William Griffin? Is this Griffin I.(Iredell/Irdell?) Rutherford that married I. (Ida?) J. POLLEY the son of W. G. Rutherford? Which is correct: I. J. POLLEY or I. J. HOLLY? (I found it recorded both ways.) Was Oscar HARWELL/HARVELL - (Justice of the Peace in Giles County, TN 1896) related to this family?
