McDonald. Our dates correlated with what we had;but we had him sisted as John A. The marriage to Easter Russell correlated also To answer your query; we have a James B. Russell, Sr. b 1814 in Blount (Co.) TN m. Aug. 14, 1832 to Sarah (Sallie) McCallie b.1813 in TN. I will search the Sarah Long name to see if there is a connection. There is a possibility that he died in Passadena, Cal. James, Sr. had a son James B. Jr. b 1846 in Maryville, TN. He married Mary Ann (Polly) Russell on Mar. 11,1866. He died in Pineville, Missouri on June 22, 1899. I hope this helps. James B. Sr. is my gggrandfather. I would be interested in hearing about any new finds or corrections that we need to make.
