  • Jarrell Family of Early Virginia Notice Regarding Revision of “Siblings of Daniel Jarrell” in Part III
    The Jarrell Family of Early Virginia Notice Regarding Revision of “Siblings of Daniel Jarrell” in Part III Continuing research has found additional records that clarify and revise some of the information regarding Daniel Jarrell's brothers in early Culpeper and Madison County, VA included in Part III of this paper. In particular, an elder Alexander Jarrell (Sr.) who died c1781 is now proved as the father of Alexander Jarrell (d. 1810), Joshua Jarrell, and the William Jarrell who married his cousin Elizaan Jarrell, now proved a daughter of Richard Jarrell Sr. Also, Mary Jarrell Harvey, listed in this paper as Daniel's sister, is proved instead to be another daughter of Richard Jarrell Sr. Therefore, a revised version of this paper is in progress. No other significant changes have been discovered. The following list summarizes the early Culpeper/Madison County Jarrell siblings and their families based on original research from all records found as of October 2012.
