Elizabeth (-----) Johnson
Murrell, formerly known to most Johnson & Murrell researchers
as Rebekah MARTIN, was born 1740-1750, possibly in Maryland, married
(1) prior to 1778, James JOHNSON, who died ca 1776-1780, possibly
on the Clinch River of Fincastle Co, Virginia; Issue: William
(and Tisha Combs) JOHNSON and Martin (and Sarah Combs)
JOHNSON; married (2) between 1776-1785, possibly in now-Hawkins
Co, Tennessee, the Rev. Thomas MURRELL, born 1740-1750, possibly
in Goochland or Lunenburg Co, Virginia, died ca 1826, Dickson
Co, Tennessee. Issue: Thomas (and Ellen COEN) MURRELL, Jr. and
Richard MURRELL.
The ancestry of Sarah and
Tisha Combs is unknown, as is their relationship to each other.
They were probably kin to Mason and Dorothy _____ Combs
who resided on Beech Creek, Holston River, Hawkins Co, Tennessee
between 1793 and 1802, and Mason Combs' documented sons,
Simon (and Martha MURRILL) and Jeremiah (and Charity RHODES),
as well as Sylvia (and Daniel PAINE) Combs
and Nancy (and John FLEMMING) Combs, all of whom later resided
in Warren Co, Tennessee, with the probable exception of Mason
Combs himself.
Note: Only the genealogy and documentation
of Sarah and Tisha Combs is addressed in the Combs-Johnson-Murrell
Genealogy.
Also Note: The above facts may be totally
incorrect. The Combs-Johnson-Murrell Genealogy is admittedly
filled with errors and omissions; however, its present purpose
is for research only, which is why a downloadable gedcom has not
yet been included. It will be revised regularly and all possible
sources will be added in our continuing efforts to create a proper
Combs-Johnson-Murrell Genealogy. Unfortunately, many of
the relationships assigned are based solely on nebulous family
traditions whose sources are unknown and that have never been
documented. Thus, many of the facts stated herein are highly
questionable.
Note also: There is no documentation
that the Rev. Thomas MURRELL below, tentatively assigned
as the second husband of the widow of James JOHNSON, has
never been documented to be the Thomas MURRELL whom her
descendants state that she married. As a result, he may not be
the correct Thomas MURRELL, particularly given several
conflicts with JOHNSON family tradition, in which case
the widow of James JOHNSON may not have been Elizabeth,
any more than she was the Rebekah MARTIN of Goochland
Co, Virginia, or her husband the Capt. James JOHNSON of
Lunenburg Co, Virginia. (See Major Revisions
to the Combs-Johnson-Murrell Genealogy).
