I didn't see your name anywhere....
It surely has been a long time since this memo was first written. Anyway, the person who
was interested in compiling a book on the Donnell family (a friend of mine as well as a
relative) is no longer living. I am 86 years old and too old to try to work further on
the family data.
However, I am sure you are interested in more Donnell information---your family.
Cauley Martin Donnell was born 25 Oct 1875 in Wilson Co TN, son of George Fulton Donnell
and Nancy Ann Jones. He married Pattie Hearn 24 Oct 1895; he died in Wilson Co 1 July
1906. George Fulton Donnell was born 20 Jan 1847 in Wilson Co TN, the son of John William
Donnell and Agness Julian Wammack (Womack). He married Nancy Ann Jones on 15 Jan 1867,
and he died 2 May 1910 (all in Wilson Co TN). Nancy Ann was form 1847 and died 10 Sept
1918. Both George Futon and Nancy Ann are buried in Jones Cemetery in Wilson Co. She was
the daughter of Calvin Jones and Susanna BAss.
By the way, Cauley Martin Donnell's brothers and sisters were Laura Agness (who
married Willie Davis Bryan), John Calvin (my ancestor), Issa Euin (who married William
Thomas Evans), William Howard (who omarried Annie Maholland), Jessie Cyrus and Jennie
Susan who died as children, and Brunette who died at age 18.
Going back now, John William Donnell was born in 1811, died 1848, married 1836 to Agnes
Julian Wammack, daughter of Elijah Wammack (Womack) and Elizabeth Patterson. John William
was the son of George Donnell (1759-1839) and Amelia (Williams) Shanks. George was born in
Rowan Co NC (it was later Guilford Co NC) the son of Thomas Donnell and Jane Latham.
Thomas was born 1710-1715 in Ireland came to America (Pennsylvania) about 1737, married
about 1743. He moved to what became Guilford Co NC in 1751 and died there in 1795.
Perhaps you didn't want all this information, but there it is! I hope you found it
interesting. Our mutual ancestor is Gerge Fulton Donnell....
