This Joel Terrell has two daughters named Elizabeth attached:

Elizabeth Terrell

Elizabeth Wingfield

I have the Elizabeth (Terrell) Wingfield in my tree but I'm tracing a DNA match's line who has Elizabeth (Terrell) Chiles in their tree and I've ended up here wondering if Joel actually named two daughters Elizabeth. Elizabeth Wingfield is connected to mother Sarah Oxford but Elizabeth Chiles doesn't have a mother connected and I'm not familiar with any other wife for Joel.

Joel's profile notes list among his and Sarah's children:

328 Elizabeth TERRELL m. Thomas WINGFIELD

there is no other daughter named Elizabeth listed, so I'm guessing Elizabeth (Terrell) Chiles is not their daughter and is incorrectly connected.

If anyone has documented info on who Elizabeth (Terrell) Chiles' parents were, it would help if that info would be put in her profile notes. I don't know how accurate the info on this site is, but this indicates that Elizabeth (Terrell) Chiles was Joel's sister instead of his daughter:

https://gw.geneanet.org/tdowling?lang=en&n=chiles&oc=0&...

it shows Micajah Chiles' wife as: Mary Elizabeth Terrell, born about 1684, deceased (Parents : M William Terrell 1659-1743 & F Martha Susannah Waters 1667-1727)

That 'may' be where she's supposed to connect.

He may have had the Elizabeth Terrell who married Micah Chiles with no mother listed; probably out of wedlock.. other sites lists all of Joel's other children as half brothers and sisters.
Joel had a sister, Ann Elizabeth Terrel (1695-1734) who married David Lewis.
Joel's daughter Elizabeth (1734-1802) married Thomas Wingfield, and they had a daughter named Elizabeth Terrell Wingfield.
the number of Elizabeth Terrells leads to instant confusion!
Hope this helps,
Terrell
(Joel was my 5th great grandfather.)

Terrell, Joel is my 8th great-uncle. I descend from his brother James, so I'm trying to get the connections correct in my Ancestry tree, which is how I ran into the two Elizabeths. I appreciate your feedback on that issue.

We're obviously distant Terrell cousins. :)

Also, Elizabeth Garland Terrell Wingfield was her full name.
