I would like to correspond with anyone with information about the family of SHELBY H. HARWELL who was born about 1815 in either NC or TN (depending on the census record). He died in 1880 in Franklin, Simpson Co., KY. The name of his first wife is unknown. His second wife was Sarah ..?.., b. 1825c, KY. His oldest son was born in TN in 1838c, but he must have moved to the Simpson Co., KY area shortly thereafter. His children were: [1] ALFRED WASHINGTON HARWELL, b. 1838c, TN, md: Margarette .?.. [2] WILLIAM HARWELL, b. 1839c, KY, (Methodist Preacher in 1860) [3] MARY J. HARWELL, b. 1844c, KY [4] SHELBY H.
