I know so little about the name Rust or Russ that I hesitate to jump in, but hope some one knows Margaret Russ. My gggrandmother was Margaret Russ, married to Thomas Jefferson Gannaway. He is buried in Ouachita County, Arkansas. Margaret died in 1884, but I do not know where. She had 3 boys who also died about that date. Gannaway family came from somewhere in Tennessee when Tom was a small boy, but I do not know about Margaret's family. There was an Asa Russ in Ouachita County, Ark. He attested that Margaret & Tom's daughter had the consent of her parent to marry on Bond for marriage license on February 20, 1893. I do not know Margaret's parents, siblings, birth place, etc. Does anyone know anything about the name RUSS or RUST. Are Russ' or Rust sometimes Russell? Maurine Mattson
