Surnames: RUSSELL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WMB.2ACE/4758 Message Board Post: I have family info that says "St. Louis, Rucker's Praire". 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. Thank you for any help.
