(spelt Chirstina mostly).. The Russell's and the Sawyer's and the Gillies all farmed in the same area and inter wed with each other it seems.. MY ggrandfather Elijah L Sawyer, married Christina Russell b:1839 to d: Abt 1879 Starksboro, VT.. Married abt 1858 in Starksboro, Vt.. They had 5 childred: 1. Florence Adella Sawyer 1859 Addison, Vt to 1933 Moody SD Married Charles William Gilley 20 Mar. 1878 Addison Ct Vt 2. Tressia Jennette Sawyer 1861 to 1862 Starksboro, Vt.. 3.

I have discovered cousin's I didnt' know I had.. On another note.. Two of the Russell sons from Joseph served in the civil war.. Michell Russell and Elijah L Sawyer, volunteered together on 8 Sept 1862 IN Addison co Vt.. They fought for the Union.. They both safey mustered out on 30 July 1863 in Brattleboro VT.. YES they were at Gettsburg.. Hiram C Russell inlisted on 6 Sept. 1864 and Mustered out safely on 13 June 1865.. I believe he was drafted, not a volunteer.. I have a record of Hiram C Russell's marrage to a Lucy A Goldthwart on the 30 Aug 1846 in Worthington, Hampshire county.. Hope this ties in some more for you.. Barbara Sawyer Smithwick..
