Individual Details

Susan Murrell

(Ca 1809 - )



This is a provisional child for Zachariah and much additional confirmation is need. She's not found anywhere online as part of this family, but I do believe she belongs.
1. She married into the Haden family and there are so many cousin marriages in this family.
2. She lived in Nashville and reasonably near James M. Murrell after she married for a second time and was Susan Sibley.
3. Both James M. and Zachariah Haden Murrell named children "Susan".
4. The name Susan, or Susanna, is a traditional name in the Poore family.
5. In 1810, Stephen Murrell had a female under 10, as well as one age 10-16 - so apparently he did have a daughter of this age
6. James M. Murrell was a brick maker, as was Thomas B. Haden, said to be a son of Susan Murrell and Charles F. Haden.
7. A descendant of Charles F. Haden believes he is descended from Anthony Haden of Goochland/Hanover but does not know how. This provides one relationship - although he may very well have been related in two ways.

1850 Census, South Nashville, Davidson Co, TN, Hh 999
Susan Sybley, age 47 [or 41], b. VA - no property value given
Elizb. Sybley, age 16, b. Tennessee
Thos. Sybley, age 13, b. Tennessee [I believe the enumerator erred and these two teenagers were actually Hadens. No Haden is listed in the Davidson Co census for 1850, and yet Thomas B. Haden should definitely be there. This young man is the right age.]
S. Sybley is listed in the Slave Schedule as owning 1 slave, female age 10.

However, there is this problem to be resolved. There is a marriage in Davidson Co, TN for David P. "Sivly" to a Susan Read, on 26 Feb 1845, married by W. H. Wharton. No other information available. Of course this marriage does not explain the teen-age children in 1850 in Susan Sibley's household. Was Susan perhaps an older sister to Izora Reade. Is it possible that Susan Murrell was married three times - to a Read in between Haden and Sibley?
