I just recently found that my gr gr grandfathers name was Sam Russell Sam Russell married Charity Reynolds. Charity Russell shows up in 1860 census in Casey Co., KY but no Sam. (don't know where they are at before 1860) I know of some of their children - Katherine md a Walters, Ida, Isacc, Duncan md Josephine Ballenger, George W. md1 Mary Godsey md2 Ida Brown. George W Russell md 1872? Mary Godsey children; Ida,Lesty, Asa, Abraham Baugh, maybe more children. George and Mary live in Russell Co., KY according to the 1880 census George than marries 2nd 1899? Ida Brown she gives birth to my grandfather James Dewey Russell and shortly after she dies. My grandfather is given to his aunt to raise, a Mariah Brumley and her husband John Brumley. George W Russell dies in 1917 Russell Co., KY I have his death certificate. My grandfather James Dewey Russell marries Nannie Elizabeth Foster. They have 8 children. My grandparents are both deceased. My mother and some of her siblings are still living I would assume that some of my grandfathers 1/2 brothers, sister grandchildren or possible children would still be living maybe in Russell Co, Ky. His older siblings are 15 to 20 years older than him. If anyone is running these lines or could give me some help we would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Charlene tfgadomski@fuse.net
