PISGAH HISTORY
By W. Thomas Carden
November 17, 1904
Interesting Sketch of The HARWELL Family
The HARWELL Family groups are large and numerous. In the immediate
vicinity of Pisgah at present they are not so many as they oncewere.
They have scattered. There are HARWELLS in the States of Virginia,
Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas
and Missouri. One is never heard of living north of the Ohio River. A
characteristic of the family is the continuation of given names from one
generation to another. Most of these people are plain, unostentatious
folk, of good morals, inclined toward piety. Quite a number have been
ministers, but all of the Methodist Denomination. The family generally
are Methodist. One small branch of the family were Primitive Baptists.
They have mostly been farmers by occupation. Few have entered commercial
or professional life, except the ministry. A prominent member of the
family says that one remarkable fact in connection with their history is
that there has never been one President of the United States or any of
them been sent to the penitentiary. Tradition says that in the latter
part of the Seventeenth or early part of the Eighteenth Century four
brothers named HARWELL came to America from the north of England and
settled somewhere in Virginia. It is said that they came from
Lancastershire, perhapsLancashire, and from near the village of
Blackburn. One of the four died a bachelor.
Definite history of the name begins with the names of five brothers,to
wit: Buckner, Samuel, Raleigh, Herbert and Franklin. They are supposed,


of course, to be the descendants of the four brothers. "Deadwoody"
County, Virginia, is referred to as the place where the four original
brothers located. Dinwiddie County is evidently meant. A part of the
family removed from Virginia to North Carolina. The family in Virginia
was formerly very small but now the name through the South is as sand
upon the seashore in number.
Buckner was the oldest of the five brothers. His childre

Two of their daughters, Elizabeth and Tabitha married Abernathy men and their decendents in Giles are legion. 3. The Harwell Family by Andrew Frank Tate Jr. All of the sons of Samuel Harwell Sr. with the exception of Buckner and most of his daughters migrated to Lioncoln County, North Carolina in the 1970's from Brunswick Co., Va. Buckner came directly from Brunswick Co. to Davidson Co., Tenn. and was instrumental in William Abernathy, William Walls, Thomas and Jesse Westmoreland, and ??? settling there. Shortly thereafter, in 1808, Buckner Harwell with William Walls, Thomas and Jesse Westmoreland bought 5000 acres of land in Giles County which was Manry County at the time. Some of this land in turn was sold to William Abernathy, William Crittenden, Alexander Tarphey, Marous Mitchall, Lester Morris, Lewis andAaron Brown, all pioneer settlers of Giles County. Buckner Harwell's arrival in Giles Co. in 1809 must have been instrumental in his brothers, Harbard, Raheigh, and Samuel Jr. coming from N. C. to Giles in 1813. Ther is no record his brother Frances Harwell ever left lincoln Co., N. C. The three Harwell daughters married sons of John and Lucy Abernathy. Mildred m. John Abernathy; Abigail m. Robert Abernathy; and Susannah m. Harbert Abernathy. Buckner was the oldest of the five brothers. His children were: (1) Samuel, who was born 1780, moved to Alabama, died about 1840. (2) James was born 1782 and died about 1818. (3) Richard was born.1784 and died about 1826. (4) Buckner was born 1786 and died 1824. (5) Thomas was born 1788 and died 1832. Frederick was born1790 and died 1836. (7) Gilham was born 1792 and died 1838. (8) Nancy was born 1796 and died 1860. (9) Elizabeth was born 1798 and died 1834. (10) Griff was born 1800 and died 1848. (11) Abigail was born 1802 and died 1830. (12) William was born 1806 and died 1878. (13) Sarah was born 1810 and died 1842. (14) Hartwell was born 1804 and died 1858. This list was made by Dr. Thomas B.HARWELL, a grandson of Buckner HARWELL. Dr. J. R. HARWELL gives a list of the same family which differs slightly from the above. Neither claim their listto be absolutely correct. The last list has the name of Shadrach. (15) Buckner,Sr., was married twice. He came from Brunswick County, Virginia, to Nashville in 1808. He was the only one of the family who came out at that time. In 1811 he came to Giles County and settled on Richland Creek, near Butler's Ford. He died in 1815. Lewis BROWN and Aaron BROWN were brothers-in-law to Buckner. They lived near each other. Samuel had a son named Thomas. James had no children. Shadrach's sons were: Theophilus, Buckner, Harrison, James and Fisher. Gilham's children were: Dr. Thomas B., who is the oldest living HARWELL, Gilham, and Sarah, who married Dr. [Wiley B.] PEPPER.
