Sorrels. Was he really married to Catherine Elizabeth Creson? No, he was never married to her, but I think he maybe the father of her illegitimate child who was Joseph C. Sorrells. Joseph was my great grandfather. I am trying to trace back Joseph's father and my relatives told me to look for Robert Sorrells. He was in Grassy Creek NC the same time Eliz Carver, maiden name Creason. I was told he was killed in a gun fight or he killed the sherrif in a gun fight. I need to go the the Mitchell Co NC Courthouse and see if I can verify this story.
