Posted on: Jackson County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Jackson/12170 Surname: Russell, McKown, Boyd ------------------------- I have John Boyd Russell and his wife Sarah McKown Russell migrating from Jackson County, West VA to Ray County, Missouri in the early spring of 1855. John Boyd Russell's parents were Ruel and Priscilla Boyd Russell who migrated to Jackson County, WV from Allegany Co., MD. sometime between 1813-1820. The two families lived in the Cow Run area near Ripley. I would be interested in any Russell families in Jackson County, WV and am willing to share what I have.
