Bob, Margaret Russell was John Hindman's second wife, and she was not the mother of his five daughters. He was born about 1790, in Pennsylvania according to the 1850 census, and grew up and lived most of his life in Franklin Township, Armstrong County, the only child of Thomas Hindman. The first wife of John Hindman was Nancy Hall, of Slate Lick, PA. She died after 1850. They had five daughters: 1) Elizabeth, b. 18 Oct 1812, m. John P. Huston 2) Sarah, b. 18 Jul 1818, m. Robert W. Campbell 3) Jane, b. abt 1819, m. William J. Ramsey. Jane died before her father. 4) Mary, b. after 1820, m. unnamed Wylie 5) Margaret M., b. after 1820, m. unnamed Barr. John Hindman and his second wife Margaret sold his father's farm, which he inherited, to William J. Ramsey in 1856, then they went to live in Concord Township, Butler County, presumably on her property. He died about June 1862. His will is filed in Butler County Will Book D., page 156. Mary Hindman, who married James McQuistion, was a daughter of Robert Hindman of Parker Township, Butler County. Robert and Thomas may have been brothers, but there's no proof of relationship. My ancestor, James Hindman, also of Franklin Township, Armstrong County, may also have been their brother, but again there's no proof. Sorry I can't help you with Mary "Polly" McQuistion, wife of James Russell. Was he the one known as "Big Jim" Russell, father of Margaret Russell? Probably not, because I show Margaret's parents to be James Russell, b. about 1755, died Nov 1848, and wife Jane, but I may be wrong on that.
