Notes:

In June, 2010, Garland Lively emailed "I am a descendant of William Harrell of Wythe County, Virginia and belong to a group of dedicated researchers who have been attempting for years to find connections among the various Harrell families. I am most interested in determining the ancestry of Reuben Harrell who settled in Sabine County, Texas about 1860. My interest is in determining his ancestry and possible connections to the other North Carolina Harrell families who migrated to Georgia and then onward to Texas."

An excerpt from my file on the Texas Harrells: Reuben Harrell was born 1825 in Pulaski County, Georgia and married Charity W. Lampkin 8 Jul 1857 in Pulaski County, Georgia. Reuben migrated to Sabine County, Texas by 1860 and married second, Permelia Jane Mason, widow of George W. Neal. He had three children born between 1866 and 1871 in Sabine County, Texas. Nothing further is known of this family but it is suspected that he is a descendant of Levi Harrell 1750 of Anson County, North Carolina as Levi had numerous descendants who settled in Pulaski County, Georgia."
