•Note:

William Harrell who was born about 1794 in Wythe County Virginia and the son of William Harrell and Martha of Wythe County Virginia had several

descendants that settled in Texas. William Harrell married Elizabeth R. "Sallie" Hurst, daughter of John Hurst and Mary McCarthy in Mar 1818 in Wythe County, Virginia. William and Elizabeth had a total of 12 children born between 1821 and 1839.

In 1834 William Harrell moved to Claiborne County, Tennessee and settled among a group of North Carolina Harrells who had arrived in Claiborne County in the mid 1820s. Several members of the Hurst family also relocated to Claiborne County, Tennessee and nearby Knox County Kentucky in the Yellow Creek region. In the late 1850s several members of the Hurst, Baker, and Harrell families all banded together and moved to Dallas County Missouri. Family tradition indicates this move was motivated by the pending Civil War. If this was their motivation for relocation it was a failure because members of all three families were involved in the war. Source: Garland Lively, 2006

A William Herrell of Wythe County, Virginia, settled in Claiborne County around 1835. William Herrell is thought to be the son of a William Herrell who died in 1822 and whose will is found in Wythe County Will Book 3, Page 12. William and his wife Elizabeth were married by Daniel Lockett in Wythe County. (Ref. A. Marriage Register 1, Page 57) He is named as having brothers John & Reuben. William lived in Claiborne County from 1835 until the late 1850's when threats of the Civil war persuaded him and a few other family members to move westward to Dallas County, Missouri. Some of these family members later settled in Texas. Source: Pauline Phariss, 4987 S.E. Princeton, Bartlesville, Ok. 74006

A tract of land was given for a church school near Foster Falls on New River. This is the area that William and his son, Reuben claimed land. William has a grant or warrant dating back to 1773/74 and Reuben claimed a small tract along New River about 1830-35 adjoining this land. This area is near Poplar Creek and Big Reed Island which are near I-77 and the Old Shot Tower along New River. A lot of this area is now New River State Park.

William Harrell is thought to be the son of the William Harrell who died in Evensham, Wythe County, Virginia, in 1822, and his wife Martha Mary (Wimberly ?).

At any rate, he married Elizabeth Hurst midyear in 1817 (not 1818--see Wythe County, Virginia, Marriage Register #1, p. 57). Elizabeth was the daughter of John and Mary McCarty Hurst. William and Elizabeth had 10 children: Elizabeth married Isaac Bartlett; Margaret married Abner Nunn; John James married 1st Lovey Caroline Fletcher and 2nd Melissa Boles; Montgomery married 1st Pertilla Brooks and 2nd Mary E. Reece; Andrew Wayne married 1st Mariariah Eliza Cunningham and 2d Malinda Bartlett; Robert G. married Mahala Hurst; Mariah Jane married Sterling Nunn; George W. married Nancy Ann Baker; Reuben Jerome married 1st Miss Lewis and 2nd Phoebe Ann Hurst; and Mary married Thomas Hall.

Between July 1833 and July 1835 William moved to Claiborne County, Tennessee. In the late 1850s, with the rumblings of the upcoming Civil War getting louder, he moved to Dallas County, Missouri, where he stayed until his death.

He and Elizabeth are buried outside of Bartlett Cemetery, south of Urbana, Missouri, under a tree.
