Richard HARRELL (Beckford) [Parents] was born about 1640. HORRELL married Maria BECKFORD.

Richard Harrell was a planter in Perquimans County as early as 1737, and was involved in legal matters as early as 1694 and 1728 in that area? also Richard Harrell sold land in Perquimans in 1745. Then on November 16, 1747, he bought land in southern Bertie County. In the 1747 deed, he was referred to as Richard Harrell, Sr. of Nansemond County, Virginia. Richard bought land adjacent to another Harrell, and the deed was witnessed by John Harrell Junior. On June 5, 1753, Richard sold some of his Bertie land to Samuel Andrews...John Harrell "The Elder" was a witness. Then on November 30 of 1753, Richard sold another 100 acres to John Rutland, and on May 3, 1755, he sold another 110 acres adjacent to the lands of a Harrell? , the latter deed was again witnessed by John Harrell "The Elder".

Maria BECKFORD. Maria married Richard HARRELL (Beckford) "HORRELL".

They had the following children.

  M i John HARRELL Sr. "of Nansemond Co" was born about 1665.
  M ii
James HARRELL.

One of the more intriguing features of the 1741 deed from John to his brother James is the joint appearance of  Christopher Harrell and Henry Harrell as witnesses. This was the first time the names of Christopher and Henry Harrell appeared together in North Carolina documents. They had appeared together in 1678, when the two boys came from Bristol, England to work as contract labor in Northampton County, Virginia for 8 and 10 years respectively. If they were the same Christopher and Henry, they would have probably been in their late 70s or early 80s when they witnessed the 1741 deed. We should consider the possibility that James and John, the sons of Richard of Nansemond County, were the grandsons of either Christopher or Henry. (Also keep in mind, Abraham had a son named Christopher, and Edward had a son named Henry?they all lived in the same area, and were of age before 1755, but not necessarily before 1741.)

Christopher HARRELL. Christopher married Ann RUST on 21 Nov 1633 in Kelvedon Near Colchester, Essex, England.
