Lou: I have checked the marriage books and can't find a match. The closest I can find is a H.M. Gammon married to a L.S. Smith 21 Apr 1907. The Volume I Marriage Book runs from April 1901 to July 1929. Have you checked Monroe County, KY or Clay County, TN? Sometimes for whatever reason people got married closeby in another county. Good luck in your search!

If some kind soul has access to Macon County Marriage records, I would certainly appreciate a lookup. Henry Mitchell Gammons to Margie Gertrude Russell. I think this would be around 1917-1918. Since they were both born in Macon County, I am assuming they were married in Macon County. I realize there is a problem with Macon County records since the courthouse has burned so many times. I do appreciate any help. Thanks Lou Russell Travelsted

Hi Ruth, thanks for the reply. Depends on which Elam you are referring to......there were several of them in the early 1800.s. Looks like Vesper Russell descends from Elam born 1792 in VA married to Nancy Williams.born in NC. I don't have much on the John Russell family, just a pedigree chart that was sent to me. Casey.

Hi Kenneth, I am a descendent of William Edward Russell and Amanada Austin. Son of John Russell And Martha Patsy Grenade. I have Elam Russell married to a Cornwell. Am I wrong or was he married more than once? I found Vesper in Macon Co. Tn in 1920 census he was 27 Bessie was 22, no children. Fred was living next door. Fred was 29 married to Eva 23, no children. They were living in 6/th District Macon Co. Red Boiling Springs. In 1930 Fred is 39 living at the same place but now his wife is named Shellie and she is 32. They have a daughter named Fredie Ruth 7 years old.
