Murrell. We know that William Murrell Sr had children in the 1830 census who do not show up in the later censuses in Missouri. So, it seems likely that he was married twice at least. When we looked at this before, there did not seem to be any proof of the existence of a Vina Cobb except for a Murrell family story about the two sisters. Family stories are often wrong in the details or mixed up. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
