George Russell Born 12 January 1880 in White Co. IL. Married Ida Parton 11 January 1900 5 children from this marriage: Verna E. 1900 Irene 1902 Pauline 1905 Louie Banister 1908 George Jerome 1910 George Russells father was Lewis Jackson Russell who was born in White Co. and married Matilda Brasher. Lewis Jackson father was Hiram A. Russell who we think was born in TN. and Hiram was married to Levina Ward in 1842 in White Co. IL. We are involved in the Family Tree DNA project and trying to find the link to Hiram A. Russell father. Hiram A. Russell is our brick wall. Ida Parton born in Williamson Co. on 11 Feb. 1882 Her father was Banister C. Parton. Of Williamson Co. IL. Banister married Rebecca Jane Aplin in 1870 In 1867 James Arnold filed a petition to represent the following : Seaborn B., James M., Wilson H., Benjamin, and John Stony Parton. If there were any girls the Guardian Records didn’t mention them. I believe Seaborn B. Parton is my gr grandfather Banister C. Parton. I wonder if he used the “C” for Seaborn. JoAnn Russell Statom
