Name Darnall and Darnell are continuing to be an issue. IF I were to change his son, Morgan to Darnall (and put Darnell as an aka) as I tend to believe should be done ... what is to be done with the other sons' surnames that vacillate ... just leave them? I know that my generation and branch were Darnell. I have been unable to determine when and what branch (branches?) morphed into the Darnell spelling. I tend to believe that Darnall MAY HAVE BEEN the original spelling but can not make any progress on pre-progenitor ancestors AND it seems that all the Darnall/Darnell family extensions from the progenitors need to be better connected to show how and when the name morphed. (I don't think we will ever concur as to why.) Would LOVE to see proof as to if the pre-progenitor USA branch came from Wales or England. Researchers I've come across don't seem to have ever substantiated that next ancestral level with any certainty. You would think with the close connections between the Calverts and royalty, there would be a "regal" accounting at that level.
Just added another source to be considered and then removed it ... The Morgan in Greenbrier, Virginia is Morgan Alexander Darnall, not this Morgan Darnall.
I repeated this and attempted to delete a second time as Wiki said to do, but I couldn't delete the "Another NEW Source" under research notes for reason given.
I will now sign out completely and start over to see if I can get it out. If you find the note about Morgan and Greenbrier, it needs to be removed. The source is a match to Morgan Alexander Darnall, not to this Morgan.
