Our William Russell family had a 17 yr old son, also William, drown there on 4 July 1860 and I cannot find any info on that. Can someone tell me where Rucker's Praire was in 1860? They also had a baby born, another William, 18 March 1861 and he died 7 August 1862. I cannot find any info on the birth or either death. I have checked many sources but perhaps it is because I do not know where Rucker's Praire is.
