Surnames: Russell and Newbury Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.russell/5691.1.1.1.1.2.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Jodi, I have been researching a John Jackson Russell born in 1787 supposedly in Virginia who was married to a Rhoda Newbury in 1805 in NC and then moved to Bledsoe/Warren/Van Buren/Sequatchie counties in Tenn. I have not found their parents or siblings. Supposedly there were two brothers, David and John who originally came over from Ireland, and the only names that I have found in immigration records were a John and David who came from Ireland in 1747 on different ships and landed in Maryland at different ports. When I saw your information on the David Russell from Pa. with a son named John born in 1787, I thought this could solve my mystery. Do you have any more information about this family, like the descendants of the sons David and John? Thank you, Rheba
