Ferrill Family
Our branch of the Ferrill family genealogy is well documented in some places and sketchy in others.
The Ferrill name comes from Ireland according to one researcher. For more information on the Ferrill/Ferrell connection, refer to Caulean Vesey's website. She goes into detail with the genealogy of Enoch Ferrell. She conjectures that Thomas S. Ferrill may have been a brother or cousin of Charles Ferrell.
In any event, the earliest reference I've found to Thomas Ferrill is in Virginia. From there, he moved to South Carolina, which is where this branch of the Ferrill saga begins.
