Biography

"Dalton Newsletter - Dalton Gang Letter: September 1996' by Gordon Bonnet: 'Jonathan Lyell and Mary Dalton had, among other children, Winifred Lyell, b. February 18, 1738 in North Farnham Parish, Richmond, Va. Winifred married Mark Andrews of Dinwiddie Co., Va., son of William Andrews and Avis Garnett, and had, among other children, a daughter named Zilphia Andrews. Winifred Lyell Andrews died in 1827. Zilphia Andrews married Jeffrey Murrell of Lunenburg Co., Va., son of William Murrell and Frances Pryor. They had, among other children, my ancestor, James H. Murrell, and the famous outlaw John A. Murrell... James H. Murrell moved to Louisiana, allegedly to escape his brother's bad name and influence, where he married on April 7, 1827, in Opelousas, La., to Mary Margaret McBride, daughter of Thomas Walter McBride and Julienne Bogard. They had, among other children, a daughter Emily Murrell, born on May 26, 1829 in Opelousas, La. Emily Murrell married in Opelousas on May 19, 1853 to Esprit Ariez Bonnet, son of Zacharie Bonnet and Marie Rebail of Gap, France. They had, among other children, Alfred Ariez Bonnet, who married Mary Emily Brandt, daughter of Wilhelm Brandt of Germany and Isabella Rulong. They were my paternal great-grandparents.[1]
