RE: the discussion on CHURCHILL - Joseph Dell Churchill is my 3rd
g-g'father. I have information about his descendants & ancestors, but
would like to know the source that Mary Webb Hendrixson used for the
information she posted in ARIZARD-D-Digest V99 #79. The ancestors of
Joseph Dell Churchill were from Josiah Churchill (b. 1616 in Dorset
England, d. 1686 in Wethersfield CT, USA). This from an old book "The
Churchill Family in America" by Nathaniel Wiley Churchill and Gardner
Asaph Churchill, 1906 (via another internet correspondent). Joseph Dell
Churchill was born July 29 1797 near Jersey City, NJ. At about age 20
Joseph traveled west to Pineville, Izard Co AR. He married Lucretia
Bocock on March 28, 1827. Their oldest son is John Silas (John S., and
not John L - the transcription in the census index of 1850 is apparently
a typo or a mis-read) John Silas Churchill is my 2nd g-grandfather and
he stayed in Izard County, as did his daughter Louiza Jane Churchill who
married my g-grandfather, Marcus Dee Lafayette Copeland in about 1875.
They lived in Union township in 1880.
