In 1880 the recently widowed John E. Orrell is head of household in Davie County, with daughter Lula A., age 2. Jonothan Orrell age 67 and Sarah Orrell age 32 are living with him, listed as father and sister respectively. John Phelps age 26, listed as cousin, is also in the household.
------------
Children of James Orrell and 1) Angeline Elizabeth Faw Martin
Temperance Orrell (1843-1851)
Enoch Orrell (1848- c.1860, in Raleigh NC School for the Blind - drowned)
Emily Maria Orrell (1849-1851)
Eli Orrell (c.1851-1854)
Uriah Orrell (1855-1931) m. Mittie R. Garwood (1867-1924)
Gravestones indicate that Temperance (Tempy Ann) and Emily Maria both died on June 1, 1851, ages 8 years, 1 month, 18 days and 1 year, 10 months and 2 days, respectively. The 1850 census lists Temperance as age 4 and omits Emily Maria.
In 1870, Uriah is not listed, but there is a child Hugh age 14. Uriah reappears in 1880. We believe that these are the same person.
Children of James Orrell and 2) Martha Spry
Alice Orrell (1859-1953) m. Julius Mickens Phillips
Beulah Orrell (1861)
George Washington Orrell (1863-1948) m. 1) Alice Barnes (1868-1915); m. 2) Emma ?

James G. Orrell (1873-1965) m. Lela Mae Barneycastle (1878-1946)
Mollie Augusta and Cenia do not appear with James and Martha in the 1870 census. However, Matilda Orrell is living next to this family in 1870, listed as a domestic servant, 18 years of age, black. Tiggie Orrell age 5 and Camico Orrell age 2 are with her. The ages suggest that these are the children who appear in 1880 as Augusta and Cenia.
