I had a great grand father by the name of John Harrell who was born around 1899 in Louisiana. I am not sure if this is the same one. He had a son named Melvin (my grand father) and two daughters (Audrey and Betty).

searching for Melvin Harrell

sexyroseone — 2012-05-09 02:47:00Z

I am looking for the family of my father. My grand fathers name was Melvin Harrell, but at the time of my fathers birth it got changed to Herrell. I know that he served in the Phillipines during WWII and that is where he was buried. According to the census records that I have found he had two sisters by the names of Audrey and Betty. I believe that he was born in Chicago, but his parents were born in Indiana. I do know that during the 1970's there were some Harrells in the Harvey, Il area.

Thanks for the reply, I am just starting to work on the Harrell family on my grandmothers side, but will include Leslie in my searches. I have not been through all of the Harrell posts yet, but hope to start on that soon. Lessie may be short for Ulyses (?) also. I have also seen Jane Harrell on my grandfathers side (married to Blackmon Dollar)of the same generation so want to look into that too.

Re: Harrell's of East Feliciana parish in Louisiana

cartercr2006 — 2012-03-29 14:35:27Z

Thank you for your reply Jessica. Unfortunately I do not have an exact birthday, but we are guessing my James was born around the late 1830's to early 1840's. There is some discrepancy as to where his children were born....I have some court records showing they were born in Arkansas, Some court records showing Missouri and yet other records showing Indian Territory, which at that time could have been Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, a small part of Southwest Missouri & a small portion of Southeast Kansas.

According to family lore, James fought in the Civil War as a CSA Soldier. He was supposedly injured during the Civil War and married Sarah Ann Taylor after returning from Service. His two Children, Sarah Frances Harrell (b. 1875) and James Thomas Harrell (b. 1878) are the only two children we are aware of at this time.

James Thomas was my Great Grandfather and is buried in Mulberry, KS which is literally right on the Missouri border in Crawford County, KS which was part of Indian Territory before Kansas became a State. He was married to Agnes Viola(Foster)Harrell in Oklahmao City in July, 1911. Sarah Frances (Harrell) Harreld, was also married in Oklahoma City to Lewis N Harreld the following day. It is rumored that this was Sarah Frances' second marriage and that she fled to Oklahoma after her divorce, but I have yet to confirm that information.

As you stated, there are many Harrell's by the name of James. This has become quite overwhelming as many of these Harrell families have large families and carry on the family tradition of naming children with similar names to other family members. I tend to agree that we are not of the same line, but should you come across any information that may help me in my search, I would love to hear from you. My email is cartercr2006@sbcglobal.net

W. M. Harrell buried in AR, Shiloh Cemetery

MairBair57 — 2012-03-26 15:32:42Z

While photographing family headstones in Shiloh Cemetery, I found a marker for a W. M. Harrell with no dates. I photographed it (see attachment) and added it to Findagrave.com. I was wondering if any of you in the Harrell family might know who this fellow is and would you mind providing additional information to me. Shiloh Cemetery is in Lamartine, between McNeil and Waldo, Arkansas (SW corner of the state).... Columbia County. Thanks to anyone who can help and if this is your relative, feel free to copy the photo to your tree.

I do not, but I will be taking a trip to visit my wife's family in July 2012, if I see the family members that can answer that I will ask and record it. The Person that I believe knows is Evelyn Venable, it may have been she that turned it over to the museum. Evelyn is Minnie's (deseased) daughter.

I have no records of Glycine Winship b. abt. 1919 Missouri. If you have any family data on her, I would love to add it to my records, for my wife and children. I have far more records than I have posted on ancestry.com because if I upload a new GED file, I loose all the pictures I've placed there.

Re: Harrell's of East Feliciana parish in Louisiana

jessicabrown1_1 — 2012-03-20 22:28:45Z

Hi and sorry, it's taken so long to get back to you. From everything I've collected it seems that my James Harrell (whose full names was James Abram Garfield Harrell) never married. I can't say for certain if he fathered any white children though. For now, I would err on the side of caution and assume we're talking about two different men. I wouldn't be surprised if they were cousins however, because I've found that the names repeat quite often throughout the different family lines. Do you have an approximate birth and death date and do you know if he lived in East Feliciana all his life? Hope this helps. Feel free to email me at jessicabrown1@cox.net if you'd like.

Jessica,

I too am looking for information on a James Harrell. Do you happen to know if your James Harrell had any white children with another spouse? My James Harrell was married to a Sarah Ann Taylor according to a death certificate I have for his son James Thomas Harrell. They had two children that we are aware of by the names of James Thomas and Sarah Frances Harrell. I am also struggling with researching my Harrell connection because of skeltons in the closet. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you know in which museum my grandpa's violin is displayed? In elementary school I played in 5th grade orchestra on my grandpa's violin. When my mother Glycene passed away in 1993 my dad gave grandpa's violin to my aunt Minnie. My mother accompanied her dad on the piano and they won a trophy playing together on the radio. I never met my grandpa, who passed away about 5 years before I was born. Always loved the stories and enjoyed my mother's piano playing.

Cherry Ann Elizabeth Harrell Gray is possibly buried in an unmarked grave at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in McAlpin Florida, Suwannee County. Eliza Harrell Foose (her granddaughter) told me this before she passed away this past July 2011.
However I have not been able to verify this. Her father, Benjamin Daniel Harrell is buried there and other members of her family including her daughter Mollie Caroline Gray Harrell.

Re: Harrell's of East Feliciana parish in Louisiana

jessicabrown1_1 — 2012-02-09 16:48:21Z

Actually, my James Harrell was the son of Jarred Washington Harrell. I think Samuel was Jarred's brother. As best I can tell, the Harrell's never owned my ggrandmother's family. They became lovers, whether forced or by choice I don't know, well after slavery. My gggrandmother, Tennie Jefferson, bore James Harrell six children and there was at least one other black woman who gave birth to three children for him. I've tried connecting with some of his sister's descendants to see if they knew anything about James Harrell, but so far there has been no response. Some people prefer to keep their skeletons in the closet.

Re: Harrell's of East Feliciana parish in Louisiana

colemanroots — 2012-02-08 21:03:51Z

Don't know if you are still at this address but I will try anyway. James Harrell is probably the grandson of Levi Harrell. James father was probably Samuel Harrell. Levi brought his family and slaves from South Carolina believing they had settled in Miss territory. I am a descendant of some of those Harrell slaves of East Feliciana. My ggg grandfather Primus was sold to then Ouachita Parish in the part now known as Caldwell Parish. Some of them changed the spelling to Harrold or Harold.

Re: HARRELL

My great grand father was a Hiram Percy Harrell from GA born in 1892. He married a Mattie Lee Shirah. They moved to Polk County, Florida some time in the 1920s because my grandmother was born in Winter Haven. When I was a child they lived in Mulberry, FL a neighboring town to Plant City.

One of his great uncles was a Hiram Harrell. Believe he was born in 1867. I do not know much else on him.

I am still working on Hiram Percy's lineage. So...I hope this helps.

Re: Zachariah Harrell

michaelports48 — 2012-01-04 21:32:25Z

I too descend from Hardy and Barbara Harrell of Jefferson County, but through their daughter Mariah who married Robert Thomas there 1831. I believe that Hardy probably was the son of Zachariah Harrell and his wife martha Everett. They were in Wilkes County in 1780s, then that portion of Wilkes was cutoff to form Warren County in 1793. Zachariah and Hardy were neighbors along Rocky Comfort Creek. Zachariah died their circa 1797. Then Jefferson was formed 1796 from Warren. Am trying to understand all of this.

From Barbara Harrell's will, her daughters are named, but not her sons. Am still trying to determine which of the people named in her will were her children. Some of them are easy, but others are not so clear. I estimate that Hardy Harrell was born circa 1765 and married and started having children circa 1785. In 1830 census Hardy is listed as 60-70 years old, placing his birth year between 1760 and 1770.

nor Lucy. If anyone can help please share your information.

Lela Lillian Harrell Leissner -- Obituary

GBaragona — 2011-10-17 18:42:09Z

Mrs. Leissner's obituary was in the Panama City (FL) News Herald. I am not related to Mrs. Leissner, nor do I have additional information. I am posting the obit for interested researchers. Note that Mrs. Leissner was 103! Her sister died three days after her at the age of 105!

*****
Lela Lillian Harrell Leissner died on Oct. 5, 2011, at St. Andrews Bay Skilled Nursing Facility in the presence of her three "Angels in Disguise" India Belisle, Paula Pettit and Bernidene DeWitt. Lela was born Jan. 25, 1908 in Mitchell County, Ga., to John Bassett Harrell and Mary Anna Stephens. She had eleven siblings, all of which preceded her in death except one sister, Elizabeth Harrell Carrigan, who passed away on Oct. 8, 2011 in Montgomery, Ala., at the age of 105.

Lela was a retired Civil Service switchboard operator. She was transferred from Maxwell AFB, Ala. to Goodfellow AFB, Texas where she met the "love of her life", F.F. (Rube) Leissner, a teacher and football coach. They had 10 years together. When he died, she moved back to Montgomery, but soon moved to Panama City to be near family. She joined Northside Baptist Church and Homemakers Sunday School Class. She loved people. Her prayer each day was to help someone else. She loved Wal-Mart on 23rd Street so much that she went everyday. She was made honorary Wal-Mart Associate. She loved her birthdays. After making a comment to friend, India Belisle that she had never had a birthday party, India made sure that Miss Lela had a birthday party from her 90th to her 103rd. Lela loved the Lord and she loved life and lived it to the fullest, still driving at the age of 101.

Lela was a true Daughter of the Confederacy. Survivors include a niece, Allison (Orin) Goocher, Montgomery, Ala., great nephew Mark (Sally) Rosser and great niece Paula Rosser Fryou.

Many thanks to the 3rd wing Nursing Staff at St Andrews Bay Skilled Nursing Facility and to Emerald Coast Hospice.

A memorial service to celebrate Lela's life will be held at the Young at Heart Meeting at 11 a.m. on Oct. 20, 2011, at Northside Baptist Church

In lieu of flowers, Lela would appreciate any memorials be made to Northside Baptist Church Stained Glass Windows Fund or Emerald Coast Hospice.
