Okay, I'm still working on this problem and I just hit a gold mine of informaton from the Daughters of the American Revolution library.
I have a will for Philip Pendleton (patriot) who lists Joseph H. Jerrell as his grandson.Joseph H was Bland & Elizabeths oldest son.
I also have a legal document describing Bland Jerrell as dying intestate.It lists all of his sons including William J. Jerrell.
I also have a partial obituary for Robert H. Jerrell which shows the problem of dying without a will.His second wife inherited all his property.Upon her death, she apparently willed everything to her two children from a previous marriage leaving the Jerrells without any property from their father.
I also have a photo of the headstone for Joseph H and his wife and a marriage license.
Yesterday was a very exciting day!
