RUMOR SAYS: Moses HARROD & Mary Jane (DUVALL)
eloped & headed "west" from KY in a covered wagon.
This would support the eloping theory.
Perhaps the "Home Town Marriages" of
these couples were not approved of?
In any event, it appears the couples married
1st; Franklin Co., KY Nov 1855
2nd; Clark Co., IND Nov 1855.
Here are the details of the marriages....
15 NOV 1855;
HARROD, Moses, Res. Henry, 22, Born Franklin
married, Mary Jane DUVALL, Res. Franklin, 18, Born Owen
23 NOV 1855;
HARROD, William, Res. Franklin, 20, Born Franklin
married, Malinda E. DUVALL, Res. Franklin, 17, Born Franklin

Next, this (DUVALL)/HARROD family moves to Kansas.
See the Moses HARROD page for more KS Census and
residence details, including Farm Census.
After residing in KS for many years, this family
moves on to Oklahoma, first in Guthrie, Logan Co.
Again, please see Moses HARROD page for OK details.
There, an 1896 Marriage Record of Ida E. (Harrod)
provides her mother was Mary J. (DUVALL) and
her father was Moses HARROD. Witness to this
marriage was Ida's younger brother, John HARROD.
NOTES/RESEARCH IN PROGRESS:
*I need to determine Mary Jane DUVALL's parents.
Below is mostly information on Cornelius DUVALL
who also had a daughter named Mary Jane (DUVALL).
Other researchers have pointed me in the direction
of Francis Asbury DUVALL as father of my Mary Jane.
*However, I am lacking documentation and proof.
However, the wife of Francis Asbury DUVALL
was named Celesia/Celecia. My Mary Jane (DUVALL)
and Moses HARROD, named their second daughter
Celesia Elizabeth and called her "Lizzie".
The mother and sister of Moses HARROD were
also named Elizabeth. I am hopeful!
*I am searching for the graves of Moses HARROD
and Mary Jane (DUVALL) HARROD, most likely in OK.
Per Probate Record, Mary Jane was still alive on
October 23, 1897 and Moses HARROD was deceased.
Moses HARROD died after 1890, but before 10-23-1897.

1850 Owen Co., KY census p. 201
Dornelius DUVALL, 57
Polly 50,
Preston, 26,
George, 14,
MARY 13
The 1850 census lists him as a farmer in Owen Co.,
KY, with realty appraised at $600. At home were
Preston aged 24, George aged 14, and Mary aged 13.
I believe "Dornelius" is a mistranscription of
"Cornelius". There are many references to Cornelius
DUVALL 1839-1845 as a minister of the Pleasant View
Baptist Church of Eastern Owen Co., near the
Scott Co. border.
Early censuses find Cornelius DUVAL(L) Sr. & Jr.
in Scott Co., KY, from which this part of Owen Co.
was formed.
Cornelius H. DUVALL m Euphrena F. SNELSON
16 Dec. 1847 Owen Co., KY.
They are on p. 270 of 1850 Census Owen Co., KY
next to:
Samuel P. DUVALL 45 and Mary 47, eight children
and Ann RANSDALE 78.
James SNELSON 26, Rebecca SNELSON 51 and several
children are five residences away, same page.
There are seven other DUVALL marriages in Owen Co.
William RANSDELL m Paemlia(sp) DUVALL 3 Apr 1832.
An older Cornelius 57 and Polly DUVALL lived also
in Owen Co. this census.
This is probably the Cornelius DUVALL who was
the pastor of the Pleasant View Baptist Church
in SE Owen Co. in 1840.
Before 1819 this part of Owen Co. was Scott Co.
where earlier DUVALL records are found.

Duvall, was born about 1793 in Kentucky. His wife,

Although he was 17 years of age at the close of
the Revolution, no military service has been found
for him. He did not apply for a pension under the
Congressional Act of 1832, so any military service
or aid he might have given to the Army or State
has not been recorded.
On December 12, 1830, Samuel P. Duvall & John L.
Adkins signed his bond executed in Scott County,
when he was chosen the guardian of Mareen Duvall,
an orphan over 14 years of age, & Harriett Duvall,
another orphan over 14 years of age.
His son, Marine Duvall, died testate in Owen Co.
in 1834 and without issue, naming his brother,
Benjamin Duvall, of Franklin Co., Kentucky, and
his sister Harriet. Samuel Duvall was executor.
He died testate in 1837. His will was dated
April 12, 1837, and probated in Gallatin County,
Kentucky, by Richard C. Lindsay & George R. Gardner.
He bequeathed his son, Joseph P. Duvall, $280,
and the balance of his estate equally to his children;
Cornelius Duvall, Nancy Ransdall, John Duvall,
Samuel Duvall, Benjamin Duvall, and Harriet Head.
To the heirs of his daughter Kezia Right (Wright),
deceased, and to his granddaughter, Nancy Lusby,
he bequeathed $5.00, and to the heirs of his dau,
Prudence Adkins, deceased, one negro. Several negroes
were to remain with his son, John, whom he appointed

He was buried in the Old Duvall Burying Grounds
near Eagle Station now in Carroll County, KY.
His headstone reads "C.H. Duvall died April 13, 1837
