Surnames: russell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/oZEBAIB/3959.1.2 Message Board Post: Forgive me If I have asked you already.........I am also researching Russell line in Iowa. I am especially looking for a Archibald Russell in the Dubuque, Jones or Linn county area of Iowa. I only have a few details, he married Susan Thompson in Linn County in 4-1866, they had one daughter Elizabeth Jane Russell, born 3-1867 or 68, then in 1869 Susan remarried a John Garvin, and my "sly Archie" seems to have dropped off the earth.....death/divorce don't know what happened. I think Archibald was born in Iowa but don't have date, I estimate 1830-40 or do I know his parents name. Any connections you might have would sure be appreciated.
