William Thomas married Mary Dial (Ianthia's sister) (this family I know little about) There are a couple of Russell families in Blount Co. John Grady Russell Jr. is my ancestor and he came from Hale Co. with his parents -- John Grady Sr. and his wife Nancy Tidmore Russell-- in about 1880. They settled in the Harmony/ Reids Gap area. (I'm from Idaho so I really don't know the area or how to describe it.) There are a few mysteries about the family but lots of the information has been located. The death records and burial place for John G Sr. and Nancy is not known. Nor is a death date for John G Jr. (that doesn't contradict other information). also William Tomas and Mary Dial Russell death information.

(Lamisu@aol.com<mailto:Lamisu@aol.com>) 3. Letter from Perry Waid, 1906 (bobwonda@hiwaay.net<mailto:bobwonda@hiwaay.net>) Deon, Can you tell me the names of the children of your Russells? I have just started my husband's research on his Russell family. I found his grandmother, Margaret, on the 1900 census with her nine children, but there was no spouse listed. She should have been in Blount Co. in 1880 with one child Nancy Ann Elizabeth and her husband, but I didn't find them. Thanks, Sharon
