The Futrell Family Of East Tennessee: The First Four Generations

Many false assumptions have been perpetuated through the years about the parentage of Etheldred Futrell, progenitor of the East Tennessee Futrells. The migration of the related John B. Walls family to Morgan County, Tennessee, has also been falsely portrayed. The author corrects these errors by presenting compelling evidence based on official records and DNA analysis. The history of the Futrell family in America is summarized, providing linkage back to Thomas Futrell, the first Futrell who came to America in 1679 as an indentured servant. The migration of John Martin, John B. Walls, and Etheldred Futrell from North Carolina to Knox County, Tennessee in the early 1800s, and then to Roane and Morgan Counties in the 1850s is documented. Finally, the first four generations of the Futrell family in East Tennessee are presented in detail supported by reference to official records and other reliable sources. A link to electronic records in the family tree is also provided.
