Bill Hart listed a Russell Knowlton family. May I add the following: Ackley Knowlton (#2525 Stocking - pg. 175) married Lydia Sherman and they removed to Ohio. Their son Russell (#5076 Stocking - pg. 319 ) is a good candidate to be parent of Sherman b. 1828. Ackley is the son of Gideon K. Knowlton and Polly Hayden. Marcia Clark
