This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Murrell, Burton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XeB.2ACE/3262.1 Message Board Post: It is good to see this document, but brings up some interesting questions: 1. Which one of these was Martin Murrell, who was living with Newton Jesse and Samuel and Rebecca Trent/Burton in 1850 and Rebecca Trent/Burton in 1860? We know from court records that he was killed during the Civil War by Hawkins County men. Newton Jesse brought a murder complaint against them after the war. We know that Martin and Newton Jesse went to Kentucky to join other Murrells in the Union Army. I wonder if he Martin could be Wiley or whether he was missed in this list? 2. Who do the kids born after 1820 or so really belong to? We know from the census that James Murrell was not married in 1830 and 1840. We these children by Barbara Wolfe and her other husband or was James Murrell married to someone else or did Barbara and James have these children? We also know from some court records that John Alfred Murrell was the son of Nancy William/Lawson Murrell and Christian Pearson Jr.
