Notes:

This Etheldred Futrell is not Etheldred Futrell, Jr. of Johnston County, NC , as recorded by many Futrell researchers. This is proven by the following facts:

1. Reported deaths in the Nashville Christian Advocate, 1885-1886 include the following - MARTHA A. WALTON daughter of Etheldred and Edna Futrell, born Johnson Co., N.C., Aug. 3, 1829; married J. P. Walton, Feb. 1846; died Sept. 9, 1885.

This is clearly Ethelred Futrell and his wife Edna Gearold Futrell, together with their children. At the same time, the Ethelred Futrell who later moved to Morgan County was living in Knoxville, TN, as indicated by the 1850 Knox County census.
