PARENTS: Edward Montford Farnell & Mary Helen Bell.

PATERNAL GRANDPARENTS: Micajah Farnell & Cindarilly Marshall.

Micajah, b. ca 1795; d. 23 Septmber 1845, Onslow Co., NC.
Cindarilly, b. ca 1805; d. 15 October 1843. They married 17 January 1826, Onslow Co., NC.

(Micajah's death date is from his probate record. It also lists 3 minor children, Aaron Farnell, Sarah Ann Farnell & Elizabeth Farnell. Among the probate records is a request dated 1858 to the court to sell Aaron's slave Harry. It appears that Aaron d. Oct. 16, 1859 (b. 1835) & is buried in the Montford Point Federal Cem., Montford Point, Jacksonville, Onslow Co., NC where there are many Farnells buried. This is the site location for removal of caucasion graves from lands confiscated by the Federal government to build Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base, ca. 1940. There is an online listing of the removals including those from "Farnell Graveyard". It can be presumed that Edward's parents were buried there. By the time of the removal, it's possible they no longer had headstones, thus are not shown in the current burial location. There are 2 unknown removals from Farnell Graveyard on the list.)
