    2022 8 16 I am Johnny Webber Piver Jr of the Tabor City, NC clan, living now in Elkin, NC. Reuben Jarrell (aka: Jerrold, Gerold. etc.) born 1801 Craven County, NC. Father is listed as Charles Henry Jarrell Jr born 1775 Craven County, NC. Is this correct? Reuben Jarrell had a son, Edwin (Wallace) Jarrell born 8/11/1844 in Beaufort County, NC. The Craven, Beaufort is one and the same at one point I was told. Thank you for any input. Edwin Wallace Jarrell is my great grandfather on Paternal side. (There was a name game going on) All is good. Thank you for anything you can shed light on. God Bless you.
