I have recently been in touch with an elderly member of my family who
is a great granddau. of Wm. H. MARIOTT and Matilda FERRELL/FERRILL [b.
1819; d. 1901; believed to be the dau. of Byrum and Sally CLOR/CLOAR].
. This woman has lived in the area all her life, and has history
This woman is now 86, [sharp as a tack] and tells me that when her
uncle [son of Wm. and Matilda] was almost grown, Matida FERRELL MARIOTT
asked her son to 'go back to Tennessee and see about an inheritance
that she was due to get."
The marriage record, says: Sally Clor to Birrum Ferrill Sumner Co., TN
on 15 March 1808.
HISTORY OF THE CLOAR FAMILY
(The following account is taken from the old Union City, Tennessee
Commercial, February 18, 1921)
Bynum Ferrill settled at Comba Springs. There were four daughters,
Harriet, Elizabeth, Mary and Matilda, and a son, James, and another, I
don’t remember. Harriet married a James and lived near Hickman. Jesse
Cloar, a brother of John Cloar, also moved to this county about the
same time. His oldest daughter married Dick Mosier and raised a large
family. Uncle Elijah Cloar came to this country later on and settled in
the same neighborhood. He had two sons, Green and John, who were in the
civil war four years and were fortunate enough to get back home. Green
Cloar is still living in this county, is ninety years of age and in
good health.
NOW, I'm trying to figure out whether it was the CLOR/CLOAR family or
the FERRELL/FERRILL family who had the inheritance for her. Matilda's
father died in Texas betw. 1860-1870. Bynum/Birrum FERRELL/FERRILL mar.
again in 1830 in Kentucky. So, I am suspecting that it was on the CLOAR
side, which means either her mother [doubtful] or her grandpa CLOAR's
estate.
Does anyone have any probate records that mention a dau., or granddau.,
MATILDA FERRELL/FERRILL MARRIOTT/MARIOTT?? I am not that familiar with
Tenn. and Kentucky counties and area, so would appreciate any direction.
Thanks for any help!

I Should have asked them BEFORE they died!
