I noticed your inquiry just now, from 2005, I believe. Leander Russell Connelly is one I have been researching. Can't find exactly anything, where born, is he was married before Mary Josephine Moore. I am an old 84 still searching. I know he married The Moore who died leaving him with several children, then married again. He served some years as jailer in Statesville, was killed in the Civil War. I would love to know which Russell married a Cyntha/Cinthia/Cyntha Rodin who was my great, great gr. mother. Their child was Robert Wainwright Connelly, my gr. father. My grandmother was his daughter Ora Connelly, married Hiram Leroy Walker. My Dad was James Leroy Walker. email me at (connieb001@roadrunner.com) Thanks for anything you can provide.
