Furnifold Fernie Harrell     Born: 23 Sep 1826, North Carolina Died: 30 Aug 1898, Sampson County, North Carolina    Furnifold Fernie Harrell was the first child born to Ezekiel Perry Harrell and Anna (Unknown).  Fernie was born 23 Sep 1826 in North Carolina.     Ezekiel Perry Harrell and Anna had at least six children.  Many listings of the children of Ezekiel and Anna only show five - combining Mary and Ellen into one person named "Mary Ellen".  The 1850 Duplin Co, NC, Census shows two different sisters - one named Mary A. and the other named Ellen.   Children of Ezekiel Perry Harrell and Anna (Unknown) Name Birth Death Spouse Furnifold Fernie Harrell 23 Sep 1826 North Carolina 30 Aug 1898 Sampson Co, NC Sally King Mary A.

(age 16), Ellen (age 13) and Cassa (age 9).  There is also a young woman named Mariah Conoly and what appears to be her two small children (Caridya & John S Conoly) living with the Harrell family.    The ages of most of the Harrell Family are incorrect.  If Ezekiel Perry Harrel was born is 1800 as most believe, he would have been 50-years-old instead of 40.  Fernie's age is listed as 18 but he would have actually been 23. (His birth date and death date are on his headstone in the David King Cemetery.)  Even if Fernie's younger Census age of "18" was correct, Anna would have only been 14 years old when he was born.  Tradition has her born around 1808 meaning her correct age would have been around 42 instead of 32.   1850 Duplin County, NC, Census   Name Age Sex Occupation Birth Attended School 20 Years Old Can't Read or Write First Last Ezekel Harrel 40 M Farmer NC   X Ann " 32 F   NC   X Furney " 18 M   NC X   Mary A.
