I have gotten a little farther on my Russell line since I last emailed you. My Russell line starts with Cordie Ruby Russell 1891 TX - 1923 TX. Her parents, John Henry Russell Sr. and Leathia Ann Hargrave, both born and died in TX. John's father, John Sr. was born in Missouri in 1829. The earliest census I have for him is 1880 and he was already living in TX. He married Elizabeth Ethridge who was born in TN, died in TX.

My Russell line ended up in Colorado ... my grandmother was born in Colorado her father John Wallace Russell was born in Veneago County, Pennsylvania in 1899 and died in Colorado in 1952. John Wallace Russell's parents were Anna Elizabeth Wallace and Plummer Dean Ruissell both were born in Pennsylvania and both died in Colorado. I have them pretty far back but they are on paper and not in my computer program as of yet.
