Surnames: Bennet/Bennett, Pursell, Morgan Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/igB.2ACE/2336 Message Board Post: I am seeking information on the parents of Mary Virginia Bennet Pursell, born Feb 18, 1856 in Sullivan County, TN, died July 28, 1910 in Washington County, TN. Virginia married Joseph William Pursell on Nov. 21, 1872 in Washington County. Mother's name may have been Jane, birthplace Virginia. I have hit a huge brick wall with this line of my family and would really welcome some solid information. I think I located Jane and Virginia (along with other siblings) in the 1870 Washington County census - Jane is listed as Head of household and Virginia is listed as age 15, but I haven't been able to prove this is the same Virginia. From the census listing it appears that this family migrated from Virginia to Tennessee between 1852 and 1856. I cannot locate Jane nor any children in the 1860 or 1880 census in either Washington or Sullivan Counties. Thank you all for any info you may be able to provide!
