They are buried at Slamannan Churchyard in Scotland. I don't know about any Isobel's. The earliest I have found so far is Thomas Russell b about 1744, and this family remained in the area until at least 1957. There is a Greenhill, an Easter greenhill and I think a Wester Greenhill farm all nearby Slamannan. Do you think there is any link?
