Helen, my line of descendent is Daniel Tuel and Mary Main; their son Daniel Tuel and Dianna KNIGHT; and their son Elmore Tuel and Ida HOSKINSON who are my great grandparents;
Have primary record proof for children of Daniel Tuel and Mary Main; cannot find proof of parents for Daniel, but suspect it is William; most researchers that I have been in contact with offer info written on family group sheets as proof, but there are no references as to where info was obtained; do believe however, that the Tuels are from the Bull Run area of Virginia.
Am interested in your Pressley as a Pressley is listed in an 1850 census record as probably son of Daniel, but he is not included in the estate settlement of Daniel. Several Tuel researchers have tried to find a connection between a Levi Tuel of Pleasants Co. WVA and Pressley Tuel of Minnesota as several of Levi's children were in same area as Pressley in Minnesota.
You may contact me privately if you like as we probably have much to discuss. email is
