The Rev. Byrum Harrell received a landgrant of 200 acres in Shelby County, IN near Fairland around 1825, having first visited the area in 1816. He and his two wives are buried in Brandywine Cemetery there. Byrum and Sally Hubble/Hubbal/Hubbell Harrell (his 2nd wife) were my great, great, great grandparents and the parents of Judge William Wick Harrell (JW Harrell)who they named after the famous Indiana judge, William Wick. He was famous for a trial in Pendleton which was the first time white persons were successfully prosecuted for killing indians. He was also an early circuit judge to Shelby County Indiana, so it is likely that he knew the family.
