> Am looking for any information on the Donnell family in Marshall Co. prior to
> 1850's. Am wondering if there was one or two that wandered in from NC, then
> passed away, prompting the children to leave. Presently I know that;
> John R. Donnell b. Tn. 1819 married Manervia WILLIAMS in Marshall county,
> 1851.
> James A. Donnell ( gr-gr-gr grandfather, b. Tn. 1829) married Mary Jane
> TANKERSLEY in Marshall County, 1850.
> Martha Donnell married John H. MORRIS in the 1850's.
> These families were all then accounted in the same KY county in the 1860
> census, along with a Washington Donnell, then turned up again out in Western
> Tennessee together.
> Presently, I cannot find the males (with correct ages) accounted anywhere in
> the 1850 Tn. census, except for Washington Donnell, who was already up in KY.
> Several references in Marshall Co. minutes (1840-42) mention the minors of
> William Donnell, and a 'Martha C' is mentioned, as well as Samuel and David
> Donnell as wards.
> Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
