JOHN S. RUSSELL, a native of Shelby County, Ky., was born February 29,
1828, the fourth son of a family of six sons and three daughters born to
George and Mary (Churchwell) Russell.  George Russell was a native of
Prince William County, Va., came to Kentucky when fourteen years of age,
and settled on a farm in Shelby County, where he resided until his death,
which occurred about 1867; he served in the war of 1812 under Gen. James
Whittaker.  His widow, who was a native of Kentucky, died in 1872.  John
S. Russell remained with his father on the farm until his twenty-first
year, when he engaged in farming for himself, which he has since
successfully continued, and has a well cultivated farm of 205 acres eight
miles and a half from Shelbyville; he also deals in stock.  In February,
1858, he was united in marriage with Sarah E. Jones, a native of Shelby
County.  Two sons have blessed this union: James W., born September 30,
1862, and Charles H., born October 3, 1864.  In religion Mr. Russell is
a Baptist.  In politics he is a Democrat.
