I am searching for the FERRELL family who lived in Henry Co., GA from abt. 1835 to abt. 1850. My gggrandfather Thomas FERRELL, born 1808-1816 in SC, his wife Mary born abt. 1812 in SC (this information is according to Tallapoosa Co., AL 1860 census) had with them the following children who where born in GA: William T. born abt. 1838; Martha A. born abt. 1841; and James Monroe (my ggrandfather) born abt. 1843. After moving to AL, the family had one more child - Rebecca born abt. 1849. It is possible that this family came directly from Wicklow Co, Ireland. I found an 1840 Henry Co. census record for a Thomas FERRELL with more children than this, so it is possible that part of the family stayed in Georgia. I have actively researched this family for the past 12 years and welcome any information. Possible associated names in Henry Co. are: WALDRUP; HORNSBY; DANIEL; SINGLETON Camay Jennings Camay51487@aol.com or cjenning@pepperdine.edu
