4 May 2002 Lists: I am new to the RUSSEL(L) lists, but not to genealogy. I am cross posting this query to several lists. I'd like to correspond with persons who are knowledgeable about these RUSSELLs who lived in Madison Co., TN in 1850 and 1860, and some who were found in nearby McNairy Co., TN in 1870 and who appear to have come to TN from NC. I am trying to ascertain: 1. the exact relationship of Perry RUSSELL to Chrisenberry RUSSELL 2. the exact relationship of John and Elijah RUSSELL to Chrisenberry RUSSELL 3. Where in NC did these people come from? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jim Sims Fort Worth, TX jimsims@sbcglobal.net ***** In a book of marriages in my local library there is mention of a marriage of Christenberry Russell & Jane Macon on 14 Nov 1849 in Madison County, Tennessee. ***** Sixth Census of the United States, Sched.
