Teresa,

Glad the dialog had some value after all. I don't know who the real mother
is, and I'm not sure all the children are real. The nonprimary wife has one
secondary source naming her, and she is less credible than the pimary wife.
The children I identified first were assigned to the mother I found first -
the one who is now nonprimary. The children found later were assigned to
the mother found later - the primary wife. So the assignment was somewhat
accidental and more logically should be made to the most likely wife. If I
later learn that he really did have both wives, I'll revisit the mother
assignments. This whole line is one I'm trying to sort out by identifying
everyone of that surname (MURRELL) in the region (Virginia) and timeperiod
(early 1700's). Unfortunately they reused their given names with abandon
among cousins and from generation to generation. The entries I make in TMG
and the chart are only for my use as a research aid and are not something I
would distribute or publish until better conclusions can be drawn and
supported.

Thanks for your interest!

Don Range
