One of Dad's cousins researched the Earl family while he worked in Washington D.C. He said on his research that Lemuel V. Earl had a brother, Henry Earl, who left Virginia for Ohio. Lemuel left Virginia for Tennessee. Lemuel and his family moved from Smythe County, Virginia to Hawkins County, Tennessee about 1854 - 1855.

EARL
John Earl, Sr., born in Wales sailed to North Carolina and settled in Granville County. He and his wife Liby had a son, John Earl, Jr., born in Granville County, North Carolina in March 1785. Later they all moved to Smythe County, Virginia where John Earl, Jr. married Frances Allen Rice, born in Smythe County, Virginia March 26, 1775. Her father's name was Thomas Rice, born January 15, 1736.
John Earl, Jr. and Frances had a son, Lemuel Vincent Earl, born 1812 in Smythe County, Virginia. Lemuel Vincent Earl married Barbara Snyder, daughter of Peter Snyder and Betsy Akers Snyder both from Germany. Lemuel Vincent and Barbara were married in Smythe County, Virginia December 30, 1837. Barbara was born in Smythe County in 1814.
Lemuel and Barbara had children as follows: Peter who married Elizabeth Stuffle; A.J. "Jack" who married Louisa Snyder; Alvin "Pomp" married Eliza Freeman; Duncan C. married Eliza Snyder; James married first Kate Woodward, second Alice Redmond; George married Mary Gallion; and Sallie married James Emmet. Peter and James were Confederate soldiers and were probably born in Virginia.
Lemuel and Barbara Earl moved to Sullivan County, Tennessee and later moved to Hawkins County, Tennessee. While living in Hawkins County, Lemuel Vincent applied for the amnesty oath. A confrontation with vigilantes occurred over this, and Lemuel Vincent went to Rutledge in Grainger County and took the amnesty oath there.
The family later moved over the Clinch Mountain to the Powell Valley area of Claiborne County where they lived for some time. Lemuel Vincent Earl died in 1878 while visiting relatives in Hawkins County, Tennessee. He is buried in the center of Galbraith Church Cemetery (Quarryville Cemetery #30, TVA).
Andrew Jackson Earl married Louise Clementine Snyder, daughter of Harvie and Sarah Wolf Snyder, in Claiborne County, Tennessee. A. J. had a 140 acre farm, called the Hodge Farm, for which he paid $900.00, located in the Dogwood Community of Claiborne County, Tennessee. There's a part here I can't make out. Someone married James DeBusk; Barbara married Andrew Munsey; Hattie married Melvin Schultz; Nellie married Porter Mink.
