Hi Folks, I have a William Parker Russell b. ca 1827. Family gossip says he was "from" Hampton, Va. No one knows where he was born but in 1850 he was in Norfolk, Va. Does anyone have anyone who might fit into this name? Does anyone have a Russell - Parker relationship? Since William names 2 of his sons Robert Taylor Russell (1st one died), does anyone know of a Russell - Taylor connection? Thanks so very much. Clare

Clare, The LDS FamilySearch site is frequently incomplete and erroneous, but it lists the following record: William Parker RUSSELL Birth: 24 Aug 1825, Charlton, Worcester, Massachusetts Parents - Father: Daniel Fisk RUSSELL, Mother: Louisa RIDER Don't know if this fits. No clear indication of where the Parker middle name came from but might be a surname of the father's mother (most likely) or mother's mother.
