The Russell Family Chronicles
Hello Folks, Time for an update. No reunion
this year, not enough interest, maybe next year! We’ll tentatively
plan for next fall in Bentonville. Start saving your pennies…maybe some
nickels and dimes as well. I do have some exciting news. We have a new “lost” relative, Bob Russell who lives in Texas and he has some of our missing names! Samuel Russell b. 1780 married NANCY
SWOPE not Josephine Jackson. Bob has census records that show Samuel in
Tennessee in 1830, near a Todd family. This is wonderful news! He
also has widow Nancy Russell (swope) in 1850 with sons James and Robert in
Dallas County (Polk Co) Missouri. New children and a new wife, what an
exciting find!!! He has graciously given me the information as where to
find the muster rolls for the 1836 campaign of the Seminole war, maybe there are
some other Russell boys we can identify. This is a wonderful clue on our
search and I want to thank Bob for contacting us and sharing his hard work. I’ll write more when there’s news. Later Folks Diana 707-290-8879 (cell) Diana Russell at diana@russellreunion.com
