Good to hear from you, Shirley, regarding the RUSSELLs who also moved from Loudoun Co.,VA to Muskingum Co.,OH. While it would require more research to connect the dots directly to your DAVID RUSSELL, quite likely yours too will go back to MAHLON RUSSELL, b. 1793 Loudoun Co., VA, d. 25 Nov. 1855, Brush Creek, Muskingum Co.,OH (area they dubbed "Virginia Ridge"...bur. Nov. 1855 there in Cemetery of that name). He was possibly the s/o a ROBERT?, SAMUEL? or THOMAS RUSSELL,SR? He mar. MARY?? ABT 1819 in Loudoun Co., VA. She was born 4 Jan 1790 in same county, and d. 30 May 1876 and is bur.Virginia Ridge Cemetery, Brush Creek Cem., Muskingum Co., OH. MAHLON & MARY RUSSELL, had a son, JAMES H. RUSSELL, b.? d.,12 Oct. 1864, mar. 22 Feb. 1855, PLEASANT EMILY COHAGAN (b. 1832, d.1906) d/o WILLIAM & PHOEBE (SWINGLE) COHAGEN. Have more data on my COHAGENs and allied SWINGLE family, but that's about all I can help you with at present with regard to your RUSSELL line. Would appreciate any more data you might have (or learn) regarding the latter family,. and if you feel I might be of further help in any way just let me know. Rosalie Lucas Hartinger [email protected] I notice you have "tampa bay" in your e-mail address...do you live anywhere near the St.Pete/Gulfport area? I live in the latter, which abuts St.Petersburg directly to the south.
