Additional children named in his will: Josiah Harrell, who is also an executor. if he was born in 1805, would he have been old enough to have been an executor in 1823?

Notes

No evidence of marriage of Lewis Harrell to Ann Timmons.
No evidence of any children by Catherine West; however, Josiah T. Harrell's birthdate is after the death of Sarah Perkins, so does that mean that Catherine West is his mother?.

Lewis wed first a Sarah Perkins daughter of a ? Perkins who was a lead surveyor in SC so a man of some importance in area, and by will and from other things have found seen belive Lewis was the bad boy of family as father limited what he would get in will and was firm about him not getting more. Lewis second married Sarah Timmons daughter of John Timmons an officer in the militia and also important person in area, believe William Timmons married ?Mary? Harrell and left her as widow and she was the daughter of Jacob thus sister to Levi, Lewis, and Jasper... she would later marry again and her new spouse take in the Timmons children. Some of this not sure now since it off top of my head and don't have all my files on hand to check.
You have another Lewis Harrell listed, born in 1752, as having married a Ann Timmons. The birth date of this Lewis fits in with the data for "Capt. Lewis".
Now I'll add another ingredient to the pot of confusion. Jacob Harrell, father of a Lewis, names in his will a daughter Ann Timmons. I present this in the hopes that you have a solution.
