Sent the following message to resOynbe@alltell.net, to answer a question sent to me, it did not go through so must send it through this site. Bill, I have a complete history on William T. Russell b 1805 in Lincoln Co., KY. He was the son of Ephriam Russell b abt 1775 in Pittsylvania Co., VA, and Elizabeth Shelton b 1775 in Pittsylvania Co., VA. They moved to Lincoln Co., KY for the 1803 to 1809 tax rolls. They wee in Christian Co., KY for the 1810 Federal Census, Henderson Co., KY for the 1820 and 1830 census and Jefferson Co., IL for the 1840 census. Ephriam died in Jefferson Co., IL in 1846. William T. Russell married Mary Shelton, a 1st cousin. Other sons of Ephriam and Elizabeth were Daniel b abt 1810, Christian Co., KY, and Thomas Russell b abt 1812 in Christian Co., KY. William T. and Mary Shelton Russell are my ggg grandparents. My 1810 census for Lincoln Co., KY shows the following Russells that had sons age 0-10; Joseph J. Russell, and William Russell. I have no record of either being my relatives. I also checked all my Russell Registers Vol. 1-22 and found the following Josiah Russells that might be yours: Josiah Russell m/ Nancy Ward, 8 Feb 1845 in Weakley Co., TN. Josiah Russell m/ Emily Humphries, 24 Sept. 1870 in White Co., IL. Josiah Thompson Russell, in S.C., 19 Inf. Co. I in Civil War. Josiah J. Russell in TN 28 Inf. Co. F. in the Civil War. Josiah O. Russell in MO. 3 Cav. Co. H. in the Civil War. Josiah did not seem to be a popular name for Russells. Hope this is of some value to you. If there is anything else that I could do to help you, let me know. Don Russell, DRuss33706@aol.com
