Correll Cemetery - Montgomery Co. VA George Valentine 'Felty' Correll. First Corell in the U.S. Died: 1865 (no headstone in Corell family cemetery) George married Catherine 'Kate' Weaver (no headstone, either) Correll Cemetery: This cemetery happens to be on top of the mountain behind the house that Giles Radford CORRELL built (grandson of George Valentine "Feltha" Corell, and son of Henry Corell), on which property originally stood the three story log home built by George Valentine "Feltha" CORELL and his wife, Catherine WEAVER CORELL about 1810. This log home was moved, log by log, numbered etc, by Romer CORELL (son of Giles Correll) to his property in Union Valley, and was used as a "smoke house/storage building" for many years. It is still standing today (1999). Originally when George Valentine "Feltha" CORELL died in February of 1865, his wife Catherine had a grave dug in the field beside their home with the intention of starting a new CORELL Family Cemetery. The grave was dug the day before it was to be used and there was a terrible rain storm that night; the dug grave filled with water. Catherine refused to let George Valentine "Feltha" CORELL be buried in the water and demanded that he be taken to the highest point of their property and an cemetery there be placed. It is a beautiful spot when you get there, but you have to be part billy goat to make the climb to the cemetery. Kate (Catherine) and George Valentine "Feltha" Corell -- no headstones for either of them. George died February, 1865.
