I am looking for the husband of Elizabeth and the father of Samuel Russell and Jane Thornton RUSSELL. Samuel was born about 1820 in Va and Jane was born in Feb 1814. I find Elizabeth Russell as head of the household on the 1830 Census of Kanawha County (WV) Va at that time. Jane Thornton Russell will go on to marry in Ross County Ohio in 1842 Robert Patterson FINLEY. She spends the rest of her life there. Samuel Russell stays in Kanawha County and he marries a Turley girl in 1848. They name their sons Lafayette, Daniel jackson, and Francis, their daughters Mary Jane (Molly) and Martha Ann Gelia. Sam is a farmer first on the census then a grocer and in 1860 he is a physician. His first wife dies and he marries again a widow and they have four little girls together. Edna who marries a Horton, Lillian Ann who marries a Mr Lynn, Maggie marries a Mr Conner and Lottie who is only 3 when her father dies in 1883. She marries a Mr Prince. The only clues I have as to who Samuels father was is that he stated on the 1880 Census that his father was born in Ct. two of his children say that their grandfather was born in NY A grandson says that his grandfather was an Englishman. Any help would be so appreciated. Pat
