Identity to this 1943 Concord, Cabarrus County, North Carolina death record confirmed by the 1900 census household in Sullivan County, Tennessee, which enumerates George P Morrell (age 10, born June 1890) alongside father John E Morrell, mother Caroline A Morrell, and five sisters — Dora E, Nancy E, Florence A, Mollie E, and Minnie L — matching the family’s other children exactly.^[3]

Wife

needs independent verification: Find a Grave memorial 105816740 also names a third child, Ray W. Morrell (1922-1928), in its Family Members block. He predeceased the 1930 census (absent from that household) and is attested only by this single contributor-entered memorial, with no record-based corroboration found in this study — not minted as a person pending an independent source (a North Carolina birth or death index entry, or a family Bible/obituary).^[6]
