I recorded the information from census and tax records from 1800 through 1841 for various Gorrell men and women. These were listed by year with some comments. I knew I needed to rearrange the material for better analysis and I had Claude.ai do this for me. It also did some of the analysis, but right now I am not copying the analysis. I am going to write my own. See “Something I learned from Chatting with AI” for why.

Elizabeth appears in his

He was listed as senior, while there was a younger James Gorrell in the area. He was over 45 years old in the 1800 census, along with the woman in his household. If over 45, they were born before 1755. No other people were in the household.
From 1804, the first tax record available to 1806, he was taxed only for livestock and not any real estate. In 1807, Elizabeth appeared in the tax record with the one horse and one cow. This suggests James has died between 1806 and 1807 and she is his widow.
Why did James Senior have no land? He was recorded as living in his own household in 1800, but could he had been living in a separate house on James Junior’s land?

While James the elder was alive, this landowning James was listed as Junior. This could mean he was the son of James Senior (the elder) or was just another man with the same name who was younger. In 1800, he had his own household and was born between 1756–1774. If he was born on the later end, he could easily have been the son of the elder James. In the 1810 census enumeration, he was still listed in the 26-45 age bracket, making his birth closer to 1774.
This James owned 200 acres until about when the elder James died and then was listed as having 300 acres, all in South Beaver Township, except the year 1804 where he was taxed for 200 acres twice, one worth $100 and one worth $50.
He was taxed on the 300 acres until 1814, when he was listed as Senior with 250 acres, while a younger James was Junior with 50 acres. Over the next five years, his acreage was listed as 150 acres in 1816, and then 300 acres through 1820. The senior was dropped, so perhaps the James junior moved out of the area. He was also taxed in both South Beaver and Ohio Townships with 300 acres, 2 horses, and 2 cows, suggesting his property may have straddled both townships.
He was enumerated in Ohio Township in 1820 with 15 people in the household, two of whom were foreigners. The story of the family coming from Ireland could fit this scenario that James and possibly his wife were the foreigners, but household or farm hands could also be the foreign members. If James and his wife are over 45, she might be too old to have the children under 10 and these children could be the children of another set of adults in the 26-44 age bracket.
James is no longer taxed after 1826 and two James Gorrell heirs appear in the Ohio and South Beaver townships, each having 150 acres, totally 300 acres. These heir lists continue through 1831. This suggests that James died before 1827.
Sarah Gorrell
Sarah Gorrell appeared in records 1829-1835 as either Sarah
or as widow Gorrell, suggesting she either died or moved. In 1835, she had no
land.

In 1829, she had the livestock while the Gorrell heirs were listed with land. Her household in 1830 included herself in the 50-59 bracket, two young men and two young women. By 1832, she has 50 acres, which may be her widow’s third (of 150 acres) in Ohio township. She is possibly the widow of James Gorrell. Other sources, particularly the children of James and Sarah, name their parents as James Gorrell and Sarah Milholland.[48]

This is the toughest to analyze. The values of the real estate fluctuated. There doesn’t seem to be a clear amount of land being given to a younger Gorrell. There are no deeds recorded for land transactions. There was no probate recorded for any of the deaths from James the elder, this James, or their wives. It is also confusing that there is land in both South Beaver and Ohio townships, when the widow lived in Ohio township. However, there was a James Gorrell in South Beaver who owned a saw mill, who stops appearing the same time as the James Gorrell heirs show up. It is likely that both heirs are to the same man.

This continues to support one man who owned land on both sides of the Ohio and South Beaver township boundary. However, none of the Gorrells who lived in South Beaver by the time the estate was settled were taxed on a saw mill. Because the land John and Jessie had in South Beaver totaled 130 acres, perhaps they sold 20 acres to someone who ran the saw mill. I would need to revisit the tax records for South Beaver. I only have the pages that cover the Gorrells. The AI suggested researching the mill, which I can do in the Beaver County history, though no mill of the Gorrell name came up in a name search.
Beaver County History
I found two volumes of a history of Beaver County written by
Rev. Joseph H. Bausman in 1904. Volume II had information about the formation
of the townships and then a few paragraphs about some history of them. Not much
was written about South Beaver. After describing its boundaries he wrote, “The
surface of the township is hilly, and the soil excellent. Massive strata of
sandstone, with limestone and a good quality of coal are found in several
sections of the township.”[68]
In 1805, a group of residents petitioned to separate South Beaver into two townships: South Beaver and Ohio. One of the boundary lines would be at
“beginning on the line of the State, at a deep gully between James Gorrel’s and Jehu Coulson’s thence a Direct course to Alexander Reed’s including said Reed in the division next the Ohio River from thence to George Conkle’s striking Bready’s run at the East side of sad Conkle’s plantation included in the above division, thence down the north side of the bottom of said run to Big Beaver Creek, the Division next the Ohio River to be called Ohio township and the other to retain South Beaver.”[69]
The most important part of the description was seeing James Gorrell’s land was at the border to Ohio and that the townships would run along his property. I also have a neighbor to research. It doesn’t explain why he was taxed in both.
The Ohio Township covered several pages, including images of Native American pictographs found on the Ohio River near Smith’s Ferry. Since the Ohio River was not near the Gorrell’s land, these won’t be included in any story. The township is bounded in the north by South Beaver, the east by Brighton and Industry townships, in the south by the Ohio River, and the west by Columbiana County, Ohio. "The surface of the township is broken, the soil is good and is underlaid with oil, coal, fire-clay, limestone, and sandstone. Its streams are small; Dry Run, Island Run, Bealer’s Run, and others rising within its limits near the center, and passing with a very rapid fall into the Ohio River; and Little Beaver Creek, which, after having left the county and the State, enters both again and empties into the Ohio just at the southwestern edge of this township.”
I have a note from another researcher that James (1770-1826; landowner) was buried at New Salem Presbyterian Church, which is located close to the Ohio state border. The church’s first minister appointment was in 1796. James Gorrell was listed as one of the first ruling elders of the church.[70] It is not known whether this is the elder James or the land-owning James. I have visited this church and the graveyard but they have no record of the burials and many of the stones are either missing or sunk deep in the ground.
