I believe we have located all of the children on this warrant except for Auria Russell. Linda and I are working on Sarah Ann Russell born abt 1803 NY who was married to Cornelius Russell on the 1860 census in Royalton, Barrien, MI. They can not be found on the 1850 census at this time. The name Sarah would fit well with Isaac VN's (1764) mother Sarah who was married to Luykas. Most of the siblings ended up in MI. Lois and Hannah VN lived a few doors down from each other in Rutland, Barry, MI in 1850 which is the year she and her daughter died of Bilus Fever. On the 1850 census in Marcellus, Onondaga, NY there is a Sarah Russell in Marcellus, Onondaga, NY born abt 1803 NY. She is living with Jonathan Russell 1770 Conn. (Possible father of Cornelius) and Elisha Brown 1810 NY and Margaret Brown 1806 (possible wife of Elisha) could these Browns be related to Hannah Brown 1769? and there also is a Lydia Balch born abt 1800 MA. My family has a known connection to Eli Russell who might tie in to Cornelius and Sarah Ann Russell. Emma Fish Cornell (widow of Watson Cornell) who was the brother to my GG Grandmother (Samantha Francis Cornell) was living with her sister Sarah Jane Fish Russell in 1920. These Fish sister's were both living with Sarah Jane Fish Russell's daughter Maryette Russell Yeoman and husband George P Yeoman (Youman on this census) in 1920 in Comstock, Kalamazoo, MI. I found Sarah Jane Fish Russell married to Eli Russell born 1834 on the 1860 census in Comstock, Kalamazoo, MI. Eli Russell was killed in the civil war in 1865 in Selma, AL. I could not find them on the 1850 census. I was thinking Eli Russell may be the son of Cornelius Russell and Auria (Sarah Ann) Van Norman Russell? We need to find the Russell's on the 1850 census to help put this puzzle together.

Hi! I believe we are chasing the wrong Russell family here. The Cornelius Russell of Berrien County, MI appears to have married Sarah Ackelburg or Ackeberger according to two death records for their children on the LDS pilot project website. Martha M. Walworth d. 1922, age 79 [Perhaps this is Mahala?] Charles Alvin Russell d. 1923 age 88 [Alvah? or Artemus??] Olive R. Strong d. 1908 age 67 [Rebecca O.?] (mother's name not given on this record though) All died in Berrien County, MI. [A Philip M. Walworth (b. ca. 1829) married Eliza Ann Russell (b. ca. 1845) on the 1st Sept. 1861 in Royalton, Berrian County, MI as well - possibly another daughter, but parents names not listed.] I did locate this family in the 1850 New York census return, enumerated in Portage, Livington County, NY, although he was enumerated as Conelius Rufus! Cornilius Russel 48 NY farmer Sarah A 37 PA Mary 22 NY Benjamin 15? NY farmer Alvah 11 NY Rebecca O. 10 NY Mahala 7 NY Eliza 5 NY Amanda 3 NY Ellen 6/12 NY A Cornelius Russell resided in Portage, Allegany County, NY in the 1840 census too, so the county borders may have shifted after that date - haven't followed up on that..... Couldn't spot Eli Russell at this time....(in 1850 census) Stephen On Sat, May 8, 2010 at 3:57 PM, Susan Claggett <claimtofame@claggett6.com>wrote: > > I believe we have located all of the children on this warrant except for > Auria Russell.
