David -
Would like to thank you for such a wonderful site! I have been searching for months for Mary Mathews family. Mary married James Tolbert. My birth dates are slightly different from yours, but I took mine from the Surry County, N.C. census. (See below) Hope to see more about James! Will let you know what I find! Have you heard anything about the Mathews being Cherokee?

Kind regards,

It is believed that Laura was pregnant with Walter when she married Fountain but Walter was not the son of Fountain. It is believed that his father was a Mr. Martin. Family members say that Laura had three children by Mr. Martin. She had a son Sid Tolbert when she married Fountain. And her daughter Meda (or Media) that married a Linville is believed to also be the daughter of Mr. Martin. After Fountain died and Laura was not able to care for herself, she was taken to Ben & Susie Jarrell' s home. They were not really able to care for her. Laura wanted to live with her granddaughter that she raised, Marie Jarrell Cockerham. Laura had raised Marie and Mary, the illegitimate children of Laura's daughter Dazzie Jarrell Skinner. Inez Bobbitt, another granddaughter looked after her for a while. Eventually she was taken to her son Walter's house. There she fell off the bed and broke her hip and after that they put her in a rest home. Laura was not good to Marie's sister Mary like she was to Marie.

It is believed that Julia is not the daughter of Fountain & Fannie, but their granddaughter. A fellow Tolbert researcher states that Julia F. is the illegimate daughter of Nancy Fountain Jarrell. The father was a Tolbert. You will note that the mother of Susan Amburn (wife of Richard Walter Jarrell) is a Julia Tolbert born ca. 1850. Could this be the same Julia F. that was in the Fountain/Fannies household in 1850?

Family members say that Laura had three children by Mr. Martin. She had a son Sid Tolbert when she married Fountain. And her daughter Meda (or Media) that married a Linville is believed to also be the daughter of Mr. Martin.

Family members say that Laura had three children by Mr. Martin. She had a son Sid Tolbert when she married Fountain. And her daughter Meda (or Media) that married a Linville is believed to also be the daughter of Mr. Martin.

Inez Bobbitt, another granddaughter looked after her for a while. Eventually she was taken to her son Walter's house. There she fell off the bed and broke her hip and after that they put her in a rest home. Laura was not good to Marie's sister Mary like she was to Marie.

There she fell off the bed and broke her hip and after that they put her in a rest home. Laura was not good to Marie's sister Mary like she was to Marie. Family members were told by Laura many times that "she loved every bone in Marie's body" (Per Inez Bobbitt 2/23/96)

On 18 May 1890 when Laura Ann Frances was 26, she first married E. Lafayette Fountain Jarrell, son of Ellis Franklin Jarrell & Nancy Senter. Born on 18 Jan 1867 in Surry County, N.C. E. Lafayette Fountain died in Stokes County , N.C. Buried at Crooked Oak (no marker) on 12 Jan 1947, he was 79.

They had the following children:

She second did not marry Unknown.

They had the following children:
i. Sid
ii. Meda (Media)
iii. James Walter (1890-1969)

4. Julia Fannie Jarrell - Tolbert. Born in 1848.

The 1850 Surry Census shows the the Fountain Gerald household are Frances 51, Peachy W. 27, Mariah 26, Ann E. 22, Will R. 17, Albert H. 16, Ellis 14, Rufus A. 11, Robert W. 10, Julia F. 1 1/2. It is believed that Julia is not the daughter of Fountain & Fannie, but their granddaughter. A fellow Tolbert researcher states that Julia F. is the illegimate daughter of Nancy Fountain Jarrell. The father was a Tolbert. You will note that the mother of Susan Amburn (wife of Richard Walter Jarrell) is a Julia Tolbert born ca. 1850. Could this be the same Julia F. that was in the Fountain/Fannies household in 1850?

On 14 Mar 1870 when Julia Fannie was 22, she married John Samuel Amburn, son of Jason Amburn & Sarah George, in Surry County, N.C. Born on 29 Aug 1849 in Wythe County, Virginia. John Samuel Amburn later married Elizabeth "Betty" Tolbert. He died in Surry County, N.C. on 3 May 1920, he was 70.

iii. James Walter (1890-1969)

4. Julia Fannie Jarrell - Tolbert. Born in 1848.

The 1850 Surry Census shows the the Fountain Gerald household are Frances 51, Peachy W. 27, Mariah 26, Ann E. 22, Will R. 17, Albert H. 16, Ellis 14, Rufus A. 11, Robert W. 10, Julia F. 1 1/2. It is believed that Julia is not the daughter of Fountain & Fannie, but their granddaughter. A fellow Tolbert researcher states that Julia F. is the illegimate daughter of Nancy Fountain Jarrell. The father was a Tolbert. You will note that the mother of Susan Amburn (wife of Richard Walter Jarrell) is a Julia Tolbert born ca. 1850. Could this be the same Julia F. that was in the Fountain/Fannies household in 1850?

Would like to thank you for such a wonderful site! I have been searching for months for Mary Mathews family. Mary married James Tolbert. My birth dates are slightly different from yours, but I took mine from the Surry County, N.C. census. (See below) Hope to see more about James! Will let you know what I find! Have you heard anything about the Mathews being Cherokee?

David -
Would like to thank you for such a wonderful site! I have been searching for months for Mary Mathews family. Mary married James Tolbert. My birth dates are slightly different from yours, but I took mine from the Surry County, N.C. census. (See below) Hope to see more about James! Will let you know what I find! Have you heard anything about the Mathews being Cherokee?

Kind regards,

It is believed that Laura was pregnant with Walter when she married Fountain but Walter was not the son of Fountain. It is believed that his father was a Mr. Martin. Family members say that Laura had three children by Mr. Martin. She had a son Sid Tolbert when she married Fountain. And her daughter Meda (or Media) that married a Linville is believed to also be the daughter of Mr. Martin. After Fountain died and Laura was not able to care for herself, she was taken to Ben & Susie Jarrell' s home. They were not really able to care for her. Laura wanted to live with her granddaughter that she raised, Marie Jarrell Cockerham. Laura had raised Marie and Mary, the illegitimate children of Laura's daughter Dazzie Jarrell Skinner. Inez Bobbitt, another granddaughter looked after her for a while. Eventually she was taken to her son Walter's house. There she fell off the bed and broke her hip and after that they put her in a rest home. Laura was not good to Marie's sister Mary like she was to Marie.

It is believed that Laura was pregnant with Walter when she married Fountain but Walter was not the son of Fountain. It is believed that his father was a Mr. Martin. Family members say that Laura had three children by Mr. Martin. She had a son Sid Tolbert when she married Fountain. And her daughter Meda (or Media) that married a Linville is believed to also be the daughter of Mr. Martin.

Inez Bobbitt, another granddaughter looked after her for a while. Eventually she was taken to her son Walter's house. There she fell off the bed and broke her hip and after that they put her in a rest home. Laura was not good to Marie's sister Mary like she was to Marie.

The 1850 Surry Census shows the the Fountain Gerald household are Frances 51, Peachy W. 27, Mariah 26, Ann E. 22, Will R. 17, Albert H. 16, Ellis 14, Rufus A. 11, Robert W. 10, Julia F. 1 1/2. It is believed that Julia is not the daughter of Fountain & Fannie, but their granddaughter. A fellow Tolbert researcher states that Julia F. is the illegimate daughter of Nancy Fountain Jarrell. The father was a Tolbert. You will note that the mother of Susan Amburn (wife of Richard Walter Jarrell) is a Julia Tolbert born ca. 1850. Could this be the same Julia F. that was in the Fountain/Fannies household in 1850?

On 14 Mar 1870 when Julia Fannie was 22, she married John Samuel Amburn, son of Jason Amburn & Sarah George, in Surry County, N.C. Born on 29 Aug 1849 in Wythe County, Virginia. John Samuel Amburn later married Elizabeth "Betty" Tolbert. He died in Surry County, N.C. on 3 May 1920, he was 70.

Would like to thank you for such a wonderful site! I have been searching for months for Mary Mathews family. Mary married James Tolbert. My birth dates are slightly different from yours, but I took mine from the Surry County, N.C. census. (See below) Hope to see more about James! Will let you know what I find! Have you heard anything about the Mathews being Cherokee?

Good morning David

Joe Jones gave me your e-mail and other info and I've been meaning to contact you. I'm hoping you might have some info on my grandmother, Ella May Griffith Marshall. Can't seem to find anything about her.
Here's the info update on my part of the family.

Dad's name was Melvin Earl, not Earl Melvin. My name is Cheryl Dale, not Sissie. Sis is a family nickname. As I told Joe, Sis is family, Dale is friends and my husband's family and Cheryl is police, lawyers and people wanting money. Ha
I have 2 children, Jason Christopher Blanford and Matthew Neil Blanford. Oh, my husbands' name is Joseph Neil Blanford. My brother's name is Ronald Earl Marshall and he has 2 children, Liz and Sara. He was married to Charlotte Yates Marshall but they divorced years ago. I'm also sending you Cindy Anderson's e-mail address. She's George Marshall's daughter. I don't think all the info is correct on George because he was married twice. Her address is cindy2@cbtri.com .

Thanks for doing all the family stuff. We moved around like gypsies and I really never got to know Dad's side of the family. I've been on your web site and it's really interesting.

Have a good one
Sis

I don't think all the info is correct on George because he was married twice. Her address is cindy2@cbtri.com .

Thanks for doing all the family stuff. We moved around like gypsies and I really never got to know Dad's side of the family. I've been on your web site and it's really interesting.

Have a good one
Sis

Good morning David

Joe Jones gave me your e-mail and other info and I've been meaning to contact you. I'm hoping you might have some info on my grandmother, Ella May Griffith Marshall. Can't seem to find anything about her.
Here's the info update on my part of the family.

Dad's name was Melvin Earl, not Earl Melvin. My name is Cheryl Dale, not Sissie. Sis is a family nickname. As I told Joe, Sis is family, Dale is friends and my husband's family and Cheryl is police, lawyers and people wanting money. Ha
