My Ferrells start with Lousa Mariah Ferrell, born 1833 in Christiansburg, Ky and died after 1880. Her father was Martin Ferrell, born 1790 in Mecklenburg, Virginia and died after 1850. He married Olive. I have traced the family back to Hubbard Ferrell born 1645 in Ireland and died Aug 1676 in Virginia. He married Dorothy Drew.
