MYSTERY! Wm Sentell in Pickens Co. AL & GA b. ca 1780 NC: MYSTERY!
I am researching my g-g-g-g-grandmother America Lee (surname prob. Sentell).She was born ca 1823 in Georgia.She married William H. Moorhead in Pickens County AL around 1844.Her first child was named Samuel Sentell Moorhead.A distant cousin remembers a grandparent by the name of Paralee Sentell, but we haven't been able to establish America's parentage and if America was her given name or a nickname.
There was a William Sentell in Pickens County beginning with the 1850 census.I believe he may be her father.He is listed as being 70 on the 1850 census and 78 on the 1860 census, so I am not sure of his birth year.His birthplace is listed as North Carolina on the 1860 census.The 1850 census is hard to read.I thought it said VA, but it could be NC as well.He does not appear to belong to the Sgt. Samuel Sentell family or his brother William's family.
With him in 1850 is son Nathan age 30 b. GA, his wife Elvira b. AL, and his year old grandson James R. b. AL.
William's family reads:
William age 70 b. ca 1780 VA or NC
Sarah 55, b. ca 1795 VA or NC
Mary, 22, AL
Catastia(n)?, 20, AL (female)
The household above them is James and Mary DeLoach, then William and Martha Easterwood.I believe all these families have intermarried with each other and the Moorhead family.Below them is John Arendale, 73, SC.
The 1860 Pickens Co. AL census shows William 78 with wife Sarah 65, Mary 24 , Catastia 22 (they haven't aged, are they trying to avoid being called spinsters?), Nancy Sentell 7 AL, and Thomas J. Arnold 12 AL, Berry Arnold 10 MS, and John Arnold 6 MS.Mary and Catastia are now listed as being born in GA.
There is a William Sentell in Tallapoosa Co. AL which may be the same man.He lists himself (aged 60-70), 3 males 20-30, 1 female 5-10, 1 female 10-15, 2 females 15-20, and 1 female 20-30.These ages correspond to the 1850 census and the girls c/b Mary, Catastia, and America as the ages fit.One of the males fits with Nathan's age too.
Is there anyone who can help me with this family, particularly who William's parents were and a listing of all his children.We've been searching for years to find America’s parentage.Every lead seems to dead-end.She does not appear to be the daughter of Parmelia Sentell and Joseph Barnett as has been suggested, unless they had an older daughter born in GA that is not listed in the William Sentell line (son of Sgt. Samuel Sentell).
Will share info and an online medal for any help you can provide.
