An incomplete listing of a death in Oct, in US 1850 Iowa Census Mortality Schedule shows a place of birth as NJ and death in Van Buren Co. This reference is also given in the NJ Genealogy Magazine. He may have been in VanBuren County with daughters of a 2nd marriage (Sarah Bain and Charlotte McManis). He was born in 1794(?) in NJ, came with his wife and sons to IN; possibly moved to Minnesota where sons Edward and John lived, then moved on to Iowa. I need reference to his 2nd marriage to Charlotte and his death. Is he the William Russell who married Naomi Osborn of Henry Co., in 1842? I am willing to share my data.
