Hello, Group.. I just found out that my Smith brick wall was born in Russelltown. Asa Smith, February 1788. Can anyone tell me about the area and whether another list might be better suited to research on this elusive paternal ancestor? I am not sure just where Russelltown is, compared to Brome, Quebec or Franklin, Vermont which are my mother's family roots. Ellan Seattle
