His sons mentioned in that will are Eli H, Dargon, Levi, Asa, George, Noah, and Jarrott. The only one I have researched is Eli H. He married Elizabeth and had the following children: Alexander, Henry, Caroline, Isaiah, Tempy, Mary Elizabeth, Gabriel, Martha Catherine, and William. Of these, the one I know is Isaiah (1835-1902). He married Demarius Palmer; their children are Lucy B, Mary Ann, Sarah,John Eli, Julia, Edmund, Walter, and Narah Jane. My line is through Narah Jane, although I have some info about Walter and can find some about the others. Does this help? If you need more current names to hook into this line, I can send you my Russell file. Let me know.
