I have an Elijah and an Isaac in m tree. Where are they from and where did they end up? Thanks

I believe that John "Pap"and Elizabeth are my gggggrandparents. I have been unable to find much on Elisha and Jane Harrell. Any info you have would be helpful. Thanks

Telfair and Elizabeth Ann Pierce are my great great great grandparents.

I am a descendent of Telfair. I'm looking for any and all info on family and descendents.

Hello Cousin! Telfair's brother Isaac is my GG Grandfather. He was married to Selah (Louisa) Jane Pierce, Elizabrth Ann Pierce's twin sister. I have quite a bit of information on the Rankin County Harrells. What specifically would you like to know about Telfair? Jimmy Harrell

I would like to know everything there is to know. I have not been able to find any info at all on him. I know that the died in an accident but have no idea what happened.

First of all let me thank you for posting all of you wonderful information! I am a descendant of Elisha Harrell through his son Telfair Harrell (b.1815 LA). Yes THE Telfair who is listed on the US Federal Mortality Census Index 1860 as being MURDERED! You can imagine the questions that discovery caused. Because of your postings (somewhere in cyberland, can't remember where I found it now) I was able to answer all of the questions. The whole murder situation sounds like an accident to me. So thanks again for posting that piece of history.

Now down to business--In the posting I have attached this message to, you have once again given me a wealth of info.
Some questions (if you don't mind sharing yet again)--

Do you know where Telfair and his wife Elizabeth are buried?

How did you discover that Elizabeth Pierce's mother (Mahala b.1805 TN) was a member of the Choctaw tribe? (I find this very interesting. I had a DNA test done on me which states I am 4% Native American.)

I have Elizabeth Pierce's (b.1824) birth place as Chatham Co, GA. Am I mistaken? Was Mahala her birth mother or step mother? (How could a member of the Choctaw Indian tribe be in Chatham Co GA in 1824?)

Hope you know the answers...

Thanks again for sharing all of you hard work!!!

Forever grateful--Pam

Pam,

Telfair and Elizabeth Ann Pierce Harrell are buried in Spring Hill Cemetery, just north of Pelahatchie, Rankin County, Missisippi. I visited there in June this year. There are many Harrells buried there along with my GGrandfather Elisha (son of Isaac, brother of Telfair) and most of his children. The information I have on Elizabeth and Selah Jane Pierce Harrell is that they were born abt 1924 in Louisiana the twin daughters of Jessie and Mahala Pierce. My father, James Monroe Harrell, s/o John Wesley, s/o Elisha, s/o Isaac, told me that my GGGrandmother Selah (aka Louisa, Celia) Jane Pierce Harrell was a full blood Choctaw Indian. That was confirmed on old family group sheets that I have from Harrell family researchers in Rankin County, Missisippi, from the early 1950's. My DNA test also showed that I have Native American blood. That makes sense because of Selah Jane Pierce on my Grandfather John Wesley Harrell's side and Charity Ann Hamilton Knight, a full blood Cherokee on my Grandmother Ossie Sumrall Harrell's side.

Good to hear from you, Cousin. Take care. Jimmy Harrell

I am a descendant of Elizabeth Ann Pierce m Telfair Harrell. You helped me so much by explaining Telfair's "murder" that I was hoping you could help me with my Pierce line.
I have a picture of a tombstone taken at Spring Hill cemetery, Rankin Co, MS with the inscription Louisa A Harrell b.Dec 15, 1824 d.Jan 11 1904. Oneworld tree gives that exact death date (Jan 11 1904) for Elizabeth Ann. I know they were twin daughter of Jesse Pierce. They married Harrell brothers. Is the name on the tombstone correct or should it read Elizabeth A? If it is correct, do you know Elizabeth's death date and place of burial?
Thanks so much for your help--Pam

Pam, it should read Elizabeth A. The death date is correct for Ann Pierce Harrell. The last proofed information on my GGGrandmother Selah (AKA Louisa) Jane Pierce Harrell was that on the 1880 census she was living in Scott County MS with my GGrandfather Elisha, her son. I don't have a death date for her but family members say that she and my GGGrandfather Isaac are buried over in the SW corner of the cemetery under the old cedar tree. There are no markers. Will you please give me your line of descendancy?

Thank you. Jim
