- Hi, I happened upon a site today on the web dated Thu Mar 15 04:43:01 2001 and noticed that you ask for more information on the Jarrell's in your genealogy.? I am also a descendant of the Jarrell's (James& Ann--thru Elizabeth).? Being still a bit new at looking up genealogy on the computer, I seem to be finding new information always here and there.? ? You see, I have Elizabeth's bible and thought that you might want to include some of its information as well in your genealogy on these individuals.? James Jarrell died June 4, 1816 (Spotsylvania), Ann died July 25th, 1816 (Spotsylvania) (The bible does not give her maiden name-sorry-and I would like to know how you arrived at "Perry"-thank you)--their daughter Elizabeth was born Sept. 8, 1773, she was married Dec. 23rd, 1796 to Richard Pulliam (also listed as born June 4th, 1774).? They had 9 children (none of which is Nancy).? They are:
- James D. Pulliam born Jan. 20th, 1799
- John E. Pulliam born Oct. 3rd, 1803
- Absalom C. Pulliam born January 3rd, 1804
- Thomas C. Pulliam born Feb. 25th, 1805
- Richard H. Pulliam born March (7/9)th, 1807
- William J. Pulliam born June 2nd, 1808
- David (H./P.) Pulliam born Oct.2nd, 1809
- Dreweilia _ Pullaim born June 10th, 1811
- Eliza Pullaim born December 30th, 1812
- Also there is a listing of "David's wife Mary deceased Oct. 21 1836" as well as some servant entries. This bible was passed down thru my great grandmother-Goldie Pearl Pulliam and I grew up in the spotsylvania area --but now i live in Midwest.? I am not sure if you already have this information or not but since you are related I hope it helps.? Please let me know if you have any additional information on the Jarrell's, esspecially Mary"polly"jarrell. ????? It is very interesting & hope to hear from you when you have the time - still curious about "Perry", thanks again, j.c. bartlett, Branson, Mo
