Have been searching for years for information on my GGG Grandmother Rosanna Russell born before 1765 (according to 1810 Mercer Co., KY census) and died between August 1813 - May 1816. It has never been determined if Rosanna was a "Russell" by birth, or a widow of a man with that name. Rosanna met my GGGGrandfather Samuel Lawrence, Jr. and on August 09, 1792, Samuel Russell Lawrence was born. The facts indicate they never married and Samuel Lawrence Jr. died April 02, 1796. Records show on September 30, 1803 Rosanna applied for a letter of dismissal from Pitman Creek Baptist Church, Green Co., KY. On April 05, 1804, Rosanna married Patrick Preston and they had Jane Preston in 1804 and William Preston between 1813 - 1816. Rosanna Russell is sister to Mary Russell who married James Henderson Colvin. Would like to work/share information with anyone having information on Rosanna Russell. Bill Lawrence [email protected]
