Tuell Family Branches
The Tuells have been on this continent since at least William Tuell (1714-1749). William’s son, William Tuell Jr. (1738-1777) died fighting with American troops against the British in the Battle of Germantown during the Revolutionary War. Over the next three generations, our branch of the Tuells migrated through the Carolinas, Georgia, Arkansas and finally to Oklahoma Indian Territory in the 1890s. Tom’s great-grandfather James Robert Tuell (1869-1896) and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Morris Tuell (1870-1920), settled near Pauls Valley, Okla., with their two children, Henry Offord Tuell (1891-1918) and Edith Maud Tuell (1890-1978). James died soon after, and Mary then married Charles Albert Williams 91864-1949), another pioneer of the area, and they had two sons, Albert Morris Williams (1897-1993) and Paul George Williams (1905-1953).
Henry Tuell moved to Lindsay, Okla., around 1914, where he met Tom’s grandmother, Mazie Cecil Frost (1892-1971). They married in March 1916 and welcomed Henry Offord Tuell Jr. (1916-2013) into the world that December. Two years later, the Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1918 claimed Henry Sr. at age 27.
