History
Notes for JOHN FERRELLSr.
Peter Parrish Register, of New Kent, Va. lists three ladies, Elizabeth, Sarah and Mary as daughters of John Ferrell, born April 1715. Also of significance is the fact that the Alfords and Ross families were from New Kent County who's sons married into this Ferrell family. From 35 entries in North Carolina Deed books, and in the counties of Bertie, Edgecombe, Granville, Bute, Warren and Franklin, the following was put together: Starting on Aug. 10, 1734, John Ferrell purchased 100 acres from William Fish (his Father-in-law), in Bertie County, NC. This was the year he married Ann Fish. Over the next 53 years, John would accuire 4,464 acres either by grants or purchases. He would sell or deed to relatives, 3,231 acres during the same period. The last land sale recorded for John Ferrell, Sr. was on Sept. 11, 1792 to his son, John Ferrell, Jr. for 200 acres,,"on the south side of Tar River and on the Camp branch adajacent to Passion and Matthew Ferrell". John Ferrell died in January of 1793 and it is interesting to note the increased frequency and size of his land sales and other property (such as three slaves), as the year of his death approached. Following his death, the following records were recorded: June Ct. 1793 Bute Co. Ct. of P & Q Ordered John Ferrell list of Taxables be added to the list of Norris' district. consisting of 745 acres land & 4 black polls. (slaves)Undat ed. Franklin Co.
