Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/oZEBAIB/3919 Message Board Post: We're stuck trying to find ancestors to Tilmon Gates Russell (1812-1856), married to Martha Hogan (1818-1873) in 1840. We know that according to the 1850 census in Stewart County, TN, he came from North Carolina where he was a blacksmith. They had 2 sons (Christopher Marion and William A.) and a daughter, Mary Lizabeth, who died as an infant, apparently after Tilmon's death. Tilmon moved to TN approx in 1853. We can trace Hogan's way back to 1650, and would be happy to trade any information we have.
