The Merritt's and the Moore's in Shady Shores, TX
My given name is Pamela Denise Merritt and I married John Ray Moore. I am investigating several lines on both sides of our trees. On the Merritt side please see the home page of my cousin who has more information than I do, it is http://hometown.aol.com/RJLOR/page1.html . VIRDELL I am stuck on Thomas W. VIRDELL whom I believe is from Ireland because in his earlier census’s he stated that he was from Ireland even though, in his later ones he stated that he was born in the United States.His children stated that he was from the States in their census also.I have seen the spelling as Virdell, Verdell, and Vardell.Thomas W. Virdell was born in 1802 and died well after 1850.He rests in Fulton Township, Polk Co., Ark.He married Lodusca Clarentine Johnsonb. February 18, 1818 TENN d. April 03, 1898. I believe Thomas Virdell was married before Lodusca, he was found in 1820 Rutherford Co., Tenn. with a wife, this could account for the five years difference between Martin and Thomas.The children of Thomas are as follows: Martin V. VIRDELL b. 1840 d. ?, Thomas L. VIRDELL b. 1845 d. ?, Diana Louisiana VIRDELL b. July 11, 1848 d. August 14, 1924, and John Ellison VIRDELL b. May 18, 1850 d. June 01, 1917 (this is my line). The Direct Descendants of Thomas W. Virdell to me are: Thomas W. VIRDELL to Lodusca Clarentine JOHNSON John E. VIRDELL to Susan MARTIN then to Mary E. CONNER (my line) Hardy E. VIRDELL to Mary Jane WEIGHTMAN(mine)then to Mattie BAKER Jewel Eloise VIRDELL to Francis (Blackie) Cornilus SMITH Peggy Joe Smith to Thomas Ewing MERRITT Pamela Denise MERRITT (me) to John Ray MOORE *I have the siblings of these relatives if you would like me to send a descendant tree via e-mail.If you have problems sending to the e-mail posted which is [email protected] , just send the request to the e-mail of my husband at [email protected] and put to the attention of Pamela Moore.
