I have from the 1880 federal census, that James N. was married to Josephine C. Clark. I also have pictures of their headstones from the Haddam Cemetery, in Haddam, CT. They had no children. She was born Dec. 28, 1843 and was dec. June 20, 1908. I am also awaiting some original documents from the census which I ordered through censusgiver.com. Or I should say the e-mail, which I had first before the web site was put up. The census giver's name is Matt Ellsworth. I do not have much on this family, as I have just begun researching them. I do, however, remember my dad mentioning an "Annie Russell", they called her "Aunt Annie". Alison P.S. Where are you located? I'm in Westchester Co., NY. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gail Howard <dardena@mix-net.net> To: <CTMIDDLE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 1999 8:08 AM Subject: Re: Russell's > Hi Alison, > > I would be glad to try and help if I can.
