I have Asa Jewell as Asa Hall Jewell named after his grandfather. I don't have a lot of data, but I am happy to share anything that I do have. Marsha in WV PS The only information that I have for Asa Hall Jewell in my data base is: Asa H. Jewell, was married in > Mercer county, West Virginia in 1866. There is no documentation which means that I could have just picked it up from another e-mail.... Marsha and Rena, I can document the marriage of Asa H. Jewell and Louisa Payne for you. The marriage took place on November 15, 1866 in Mercer County, West Virginia and was performed by Joseph Wright. This is the whole entry: November 15, 1866 Asa H. Jewell, age 30, single, born in Montgomery County, Virginia, son of John and C. Jewell to Louisa Payne, age 20, single, born in Mercer County, West Virginia, daughter of William and Julia A. Payne--his occupation was farmer and marriage performed by Joseph Wright. Documentation: Mercer County, West Virginia Marriage Book 1, Page 13, Item 32. This listing is found on page 19 of Mercer County, West Virginia Marriage Book 1 1854-1901, compiled by Sallie Hays in 1995. It may also interest you to know that John Jewell's wife is given as Christiana instead of Christina--this is found in their daughter Christiana Jewell's marriage, also from Mercer County from this entry found on Page 6 of Sallie Hays volume: (Original found on Page 4, line 44) November 24, 1857 George D. Bailey age 27 years 10 months 19 days, single, born in Mercer County, West Virginia, son of George and Francis Bailey to Christiana Jewell, age 17 years 4 months, 13 days, single born in Montgomery County, Virginia where she now lives, daughter of John and Christiana Jewell. Occupation was farmer and ceremony performed by Evan H. Brown. Interestingly enough is a SECOND MARRIAGE for Christiana F. Bailey, a widow, in this entry found on page 13 with the Original record being on Page 9, line 34. (Christiana's age is wrong but it has to be the same person.) October 11, 1865 W. H. Roach age 20, single Born in Logan County, West Virginia son of Reuben and Margaret Roach to Christian(a) F. Bailey, age 20, widow, born in Montgomery County, Virginia daughter of John and Christian(a) Jewell, his occupation was farmer and ceremony performed by Joseph Wright. Hope this helps for you.
