- From N.C. SORRELL, Petersburg, Tennessee.
My people were originally from North Carolina. Wake County. My grandfather left North Carolina, 1826, went to Louisiana, where he lived two years, then came to Madison County, TN, where he lived four years. Then he came to Dyer County,TN. He died here 1885. I have often heard him speak of David Sorrells, but we do not spell our name Sorrells although there are many that do add the final "s", just as you do. I have one cousin who spells his name Sorrelle. (Pettigrew Manuscripts)
Moved to Gibson Co., 1826, then to Dyer in 1836. (Records of Frances Wynn)

My grandmother, Matilda Sorrell was born 1841 and married my grandfather, John N. Bell. I don't think she was Lemuel Sorrell's daughter but I think she might be his neice. Matilda died in 1915 in the Lenox community in Dyer county in front of a church. She was in a buggy and the horse got away from her. Her neck was broken when she hit a tree limb. Thanks. Jean
