Mystery Monday: Murrell DNA, Part 3

Murrell Family, ancestors of our Roberts Family (Click for Family Tree)

Our search for the parents of Wiley Anderson Murrell (1805-6 to 1885 ) continues with reviewing another of our DNA matches.

Did you notice the marriage date? Obviously, then, it appears this William Murrell (there are thousands of Murrells named William, it seems) who married Nancy Mitchell in 1829 could not be Wiley’s father, since they were married long after Wiley was born.

Technically, however, this William could be Wiley’s father, if it was a second or third marriage for him. Other options include this William being a cousin, uncle, etc. Technically, he might even be a brother, if the family named more than one child William and called one Wiley- unusual, but still a possibility. We need to learn more details about this family to further assess this DNA match.
