EMELINE HARRELL Pedigree
============= found in
Decatur County, GA in 1850 and in Miller County, GA in 1860. In 1860, they are
listed with four girls (age 9, 4, 3 and 3/12). This Emeline Harrell Fenn might
be the daughter of Dempsey Harrell & Jane Donaldson because Dempsey Harrell
moved from Decatur County, GA to Early County, GA. Dempsy's daughter, Mary A. (Harrell) Roberts, is listed on the same page as Emeline Fenn in 1860, so they might be sisters.
in 1860 - just four daughters. In 1850, they have a son (William - under one year old). Ages in the 1850 census were John Fenn (age 21, born in Georgia) and Emeline Fenn (age 20, born in Georgia). Ages in the 1860 census were John Fenn (age 30, born in GA) and Emeline Fenn (age 30, born in GA).

Now it's obvious that Anna(Annie) has to be older than 19. We know that Carrie(Carro) is about 8. My guess at this point is that Anna is at least 23.

Because of the location and the estimated age I think this is Anna(Annie) in 1880:

Anna seems to be the missing great grandmother in my line and after her marriage broke up in Alabama, she went to Macon also.

Emeline Harrell FENN was the grandmother of my grandpa Cecil Earl Carter.  Studying the Georgia census records I wonder if she was a "twin" to Adeline Harrell, but we may never know.

Emeline was called Emily and married John Fenn, son of Elijah Fann and Martha Rich in Georgia.  It appears that Emeline had other children, who must have died very young, before she and John moved into Tuskegee, Macon County, Alabama.  They had my great grandfather William Franklin Fenn in Tuskegee and William married Anna Lou Stone.
