I am decended through his son Russell. I have conflicting records regarding his first wife. Our family records say her name was Ellen (or Helen) Russell. Other records I've seen say it was Sally Russell. I've also seen conflicting dates for his date of birth. I would like to hear from anyone who has definate information about these things, as well as about Israel's parents or where he was born.
