In reply to pmm. Yes, I've had DNA testing (Ancestry + FT-Y testing). My family came from Prince Georges County, MD, then to Adair County, KY and finally to OK.

In reply to Bruce Addis Naylor.

Thanks, Bruce for the note, and glad you found our blog.

Where were your Murrells before Oklahoma? We have Murrells in Iowa, Illinois, and Virginia, where the trail stops with Wiley Anderson Murrell, b. 1806.

Have you done any DNA testing? We have both autosomal and Y-DNA so can compare.

I will pass your note on to the cousin who knows more about the Murrells than I do and maybe we can get some good info out of an exchange.

I am a descendant of James Naylor, born 1771 and Sarah Selby Naylor; parents of Susanna Naylor who married Jesse Garth Murrell and Lavinia Naylor, the wife of Anderson Murrell. My great grandfather was Alexander Naylor, the brother of Lavinia and Susanna. When my father and grandfather arrived in OK in 1908, they lived for awhile with W. W. “Bill” Murrell in Okeene, OK until they could build a house.

I would love to make contact with one or more of the Murrell descendants for a variety of reasons. If anyone is interested, please contact me.
