Burrell/Burl married Margaret Hartsell, daughter of Isaac Hartsell Jr. and Elizabeth Fox. Their children, those for whom records are available, lived in the Dutch Bottoms and Carson Springs areas.

Burl must have been married to Dorcas Holloway, daughter of Joseph and Sallie (Clevenger) Holloway, before he married Margaret. The death certificates of Burl's 2 oldest sons, Archie and Henry, list Dorcas Holloway as their mother. Also, census data indicate that Archie and Henry were raised by their grandparents (Burl's parents), Jackson and Martha Clevenger.

1880 census listed Burrell (34), Margaret (35), and their children: William Z (5) and Robert B. (3).

1900 census listed Burrell (54), Margaret (55), and their children: Robert (20) and Emma (18).

1910 census listed Burrell (63), Margaret (64), and their children: Lemuel (28), Bertha (21), Etta (2), and Georgie (0).

Their son William Clevenger, who married Emma Edwards, raised his family in Carson Springs. William and Emma's children were Oliver, Darius, William Jr., Anna Mae, T.B., George and Judd.

Three other sons lived in the area: Isaac Lemuel "Lem" Clevenger, who married Bertha Louisa (Francis) Clevenger; Robert Buckner Clevenger, who married Sue Addie Mantooth; and Henry Clevenger, who married Della Stamey. (Henry and Della had a son Arnie.)
