In my research I have found these possible links to William Stodghel Stargel but I am not certain of them, due to the
changes in the spelling of our name.
The spelling of our name makes researching very hard as to some used 2 ll's at the end and a vast array of the first four letters < Star>. This was proabily due to not being educated at the time of Census records and the Census Taker had to spell names as they sounded when spoken, for example one Census has the name spelled 4 different ways because the Census Taker nor the subject knew how to spell the name. During this work I have used the spelling STARGEL because that is the one my family has used. But I have found many relatives who use 2 ll's
Wife's name and their place of burial is unknown. Farm sold in 1834 and heirs
Were living in Lumpkin County, GA . They adopted the Stargel spelling of their name.
Originally used two l's.
Was farmer by profession
May use 2 l's in Stodghill
Other last names Sturgill, Stodghill, Stregel, Stodghel, Stargil, Stodgell
As of May 26, 2007 the Original spelling of last name is unknown
Myself and several other relatives are searching for the answer
