I want to thank Roger Gant and Janice Alexander Anderson for helping me with information about Maud Bingham and Sidney Vanhoose. Their daughter Marie married Earl Dee Montgomery and they lived in Decatur County. Maud was the daughter of my grandfather's older sister. They were children of Jobe Stanfill Clayton. This information helped me understand that Sidney Vanhoose's older brother Bartley Carroll Vanhoose married Ida McKinley Alexander, who's mother was Martha Angeline Clayton. Martha Angeline Clayton's father , William Clayton Jr., was a half brother to Jobe Stanfill Clayton. William and Jobe had the same father, John William "Flat River" Clayton, but William Jr. mother was Rachel Crews and Jobe's mother was Nancy Blackard. The pieces of the puzzle fit. It sometime takes a couple people to put the puzzle together. Thanks to Orville Gilchrist and his wife Carolyn and Jim & Charlotte for information about John White, that has helped me find a link to my neighbor Betty, here in College Station, Texas that is from the Russell family in Hardin County, Tennessee. That now makes four of us, here in the same town, in the same Genealogical Society, that have ties to each other and Lawrence County and Hardin County, Tennessee. Thank you Tennessee Volunteers

There are manny Russells in Hardin Co. Do you have them figured out?
