Anyone ever hear of a family of the name Murrel. Particularly Suzannah Murrel b.1829 +/-, parents were William and Mary Murrel. Susan married Lewis Woolery July 8, 1849.
Zita, thank you for getting back with me.
The answer to your (?) is, YES. Either, and/or.
I know nothing, NOTHING, about this family. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated. Right now I’m working for the Sheriff, don’t tell him. I am not at home, SO, I don’t have any of my family info with me at this time.
Thanks, Bob.
I have a web page that has helped in my search for my family. Some of the information is not always correct that people put on there, but there is some that are correct and can help you very much. The web site is http://www.familysearch.org it is a church who has alot of information on many family’s. Hope this can help you.
I have just went to that web site and have a Lewis or Louis Woolery b.1809 d.after 1870. His parents are John James Woolery b.1790 Madison Co. Ky. d.Dec.3,1823 in Lawrence Co. Indiana. He married Susannah ? . His parents are Lawrence Abraham Woolery/Ulrich b.April 9,1739 Landcaster, Lebanon Twp.,Pennsylvania d.April 9,1839 Palestine (now called Speed), Cooper Co.,Missouri. Buried in Mt. Nebo Baptist Cemetery,Cooper Co., Missouri. He married Margaret (Peggy) Horn b.May 1741 New York City, Ny. d.1837 Pilot Grove,Cooper Co., Missouri. Buried in Palistine Cemetery,Speed Co,MO or Old Mt. Nebo Baptist Ch Cem,Cooper Co., MO. I hope this helps you and the web page has alot more on this family, but I am not sure on Susan Murrel. There is alot on this search but did not have enough information on her to connect it. Zita
You sure did find some of my anscestors. I’ll check this out. I have been told (true or not) that Susannah was a Manspeaker. I’m not sure of this though.
Lewis married Susan Murrel, as I have the info.. They had a son Harvey Married to Euphemia Hester Brown, daughter of David Erasmus Brown from Loudoun Co. VA. They had a son named David Franklin who married Lydia Howard the GGGG(?)Granddaughter of Littleton Howard son of Groves Howard.
The intertwinning is real crazy isn’t it.
later, Bob
You sure were right about Susan Murrel. The only note on her was the marriage. I checked her out in TN for her birth in 1829 and nothing for her. I did find some others but not her with a birthday of 1829.
Again thanks, Bob.
Does any one know of any Sams family from the Monongalia, VA. abt the mid 1700’s.
Possibly Jonas, and parents Edward and Lydia with wife of Sarah?
Thanks.
There was a pretty famous outlaw on the Natchez Trace named John Murrel. That road was from Natchez to Nashville, about half of it in Tennessee. Don’t know if he’d be any kin, but it was a family business.
I am having Problems finding some of the women in my reaserch. They just don’t seem to exist before their marriage. Anyone have ideas for this problem.
Thanks, Bob.
Thanks PD. Is there more info on this family. I am most interested when I can’t find anything at all.
Bob
There is lots of info about the outlaw Murrel, most of it in books I have seen (long ago), but don’t own. Some is available on the web. Here is a pretty thorough summary, from a GenForum page. The contributor (Gayla Threatt) might be able to help you.

If you open that, you should be able to click on her name (in blue above the subject line of this long message) and get her email address.
This is real interesting. Our Murrel has just one “L” not a double. would this make any difference?
Bob
Maybe to my 6th grade teacher, Miss Ethel. Not to me.
In that GenForum entry, various sources are cited that spell it at least three ways. Two ls, one r, whatever. This was West Tennessee, right around the time of the Jackson Purchase. Andrew Jackson, that is… who is often quoted (whether truly or not) as having said, “Damn the man who can only think of one way to spell a word.”
