I have proven through family records in NC that the father of John, James, Jessee, Davis and Enoch Herrell, Harrell was definitely Hugh Herrell who settled on Big Rock Creek in Burke county about 1800.
I have not proven that this is the Hugh Herrell who married Rebecka Lackin however.
Other records reveal that Hugh Harrell owned land in NC about the same time near the land of a Lyken family on a stream flowing into the Yadkin River, possibly in Rowan county, because the marriage is recorded in Rowan County also. Again, no evidence has been found which proves this is the Hugh Harrell of Frederick co., Va., another gap to be filled.
About 1790 an area along the Roan Mountain, Iron Mountain and the Toe River in the western NC mountains was taken from the Indians and opened for settlement. Hugh Harrell appears in that area, along Big Rock Creek, about 1800 and apparently obtained a good sized land grant.. His name appears on an undated petition to move a voting place near where he had settled, along with two of his sons, Jesse and Davis. Records indicate that Hugh Harrell, Herrell had five sons born between 1787 and 1800, they were: Jesse, James, Enoch, John and Davis and one daughter named Mary. Family records help confirm this.
