Hi: Just found your page today; it's GReeeeat. Thanks for genealogy tips...
I am lookiing for a George RUSSELL born March 1844 ( don't know where) he
married Sara Jane West born 1855 in Hawkins Co Tenn 12-25-1873.
Their children were :
Elbert RUSSELL, born 2-25- 1881 married Lora KELLER in Madison Co NC

William J RUSSELL born 1879 married Helen ? (1-1894)
Lucy (seal) RUSSELL born 1882 married Ashley ROBERTS
Lula RUSSELL born 1886 married ?
All children were born in Tennesse. when they went to NC I'm not sure.
I do not know what happened to George >he seemed to
vanish>>
Sarah remarried 2 times -once in 1894 to Jacob WILLETT; she was 36 he was
60. then remarried to J.B. CAPPS in 1904 in Madison Co NC; she never had
any children other than George's .
Sara CAPPS was on 1920 head of household census.
I need to find about George RUSSELL, his parents, where he went to, did he
die, were they divorced.
Also, maybe you can advise on this problem, my ggrandparents Mathew and Roxanne
RUSSELL were buried in Black Mountain NC at Homers Chapel Church.
Mathew RUSSELL died 6-15-51; Roxanne RUSSELL died 3-16-43.
I want to find the graves and if they do not have a marker on them, I want
to have one put on them. I have talked to people at the church. none of the
children are alive. My father -their grandson - just died. This is a promise
I made my Dad that I would do this.
Thanks for any help>>>

CAMPBELL, SHELL:
Subj: Tennessee Genealogy Querie Date: 97-09-02
From: [email protected] (mark campbell)
I am searching for my grandfathers' parents. My grandfather is
Shelly Emmett CAMPBELL, Born 12/22/1896 in Bluff City, TN.
The 1900 Soundex Census indicates he was raised by his aunt Mary Eva
SHELL (Born 1865), in Bristol, TN which would indicate that one of Mary's
sisters, of which she had 3, was the mother of my grandfather.
The sisters' names were
Margaret SHELL (Born 1868),
Elizabeth SHELL (Born 1871), and
Ida SHELL (Born 1879).
My grandfathers' father is unknown at this time. I have checked Census
records for the following:1880, 1900 Census Soundex for Shell surnames.;1900
Census for Sullivan county.
Would like to inquire if there were any county and/or hospital birth records
that would maybe show the birth parents.
Have checked my grandfathers' death certificate to no avail.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

YOUNG, JOHNSON, HUNTER, BATEMAN:
Subj: Help! Date: 97-09-04
From: [email protected] (DW Young)
Can anyone help direct me in my quest?
I have seemed to have run into a dead end. I am trying to find out
information on my great grandfather James A. YOUNG. Here is what I know:
James A YOUNG was born May 24, 1865 in Tenn he died March 01,1941
in Dickson Tenn. He married Rose JOHNSON around 1888,
They had 8 children all born in Dickson. James and Rose are buried in
Dickson at Pleasant Hills.
James' death certificate lists his father as unknown and his mother's first
name is not legible (starts with an N?) but her last name is HUNTER.
James has a brother John who also lived in Dickson. Now I have
read the 1880 Dickson County Census and they list a James YOUNG, age 16
working and living on farm for a family named BATEMAN.
I searched the 1880 Soundex and I did not find any other Young families
with a James and a John of the right age.
James is listed in the 1900 and 1910 census for Dickson along with his
family, so I know he stayed right there.
So where do I go from here? Is it possible to find his father
? The Census and the Death certificate all say the parents are from
Tenn.
Is it possible to find a Birth Certificate? Or The Parents
Marriage Records. Any direction on where to look or who to contact
would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time

HENRY, BRACKEN, EVANS, PEARCE, KELLETT:
Subj: Query Date: 97-09-05
From: [email protected] (bowersc)
I am looking for the parents of John HENRY (born in North Carolina about
1817) and his wife, Eliza E.--possibly EVANS--(born about 1825 in
Tennessee.
John and Eliza first appear in the Arkansas census in 1840. In
the census of 1850, their children were listed as follows:
William HENRY, age 11;
Ellen HENRY, age 9;
Ben F. HENRY, age 7;
Sarah HENRY, age 4;
John A. HENRY, age 2; and
Thomas M. HENRY, seven months.
Also living in the Henry household was Mary Ellen EVANS, age 20 in
1850, born in Tennessee, which leads me to believe that Eliza and Mary
Ellen may have been sisters. A hunch--the families of John and Eliza
may have lived in Sevier County Tennessee in 1830.
I am also searching for the parents of Nancy BRACKEN, born in Tennessee
about 1843. In 1850, Nancy, age six, was in Fulton County, Arkansas
in the household of William A. PEARCE. In the next household, that
of John A. PEARCE, were John BRACKEN, age 10, and Sarah A. BRACKEN,
age 9.
Like Nancy, John and Sarah were born in Tennessee. Thus it
seems possible that John, Sarah, and Nancy were orphaned siblings.
By 1860, at the age of seventeen, Nancy BRACKEN was married to William
HENRY, son of John and Eliza HENRY.
William and Nancy had one son, John H. HENRY, born April 28,
1861. It seems that William died young; for, in 1870, the child, John,
was living with Nancy and his step-father, John KELLETT, in Randolph
County, Arkansas.
By 1870, Nancy had borne the following children of John Kellett:
Mary KELLETT, born in 1862,
Alfred KELLETT, born in 1866, and
Sarah J. KELLETT, born in 1870.
(Nancy bore at least one more child for, at the death of John HENRY
(1861) in 1942, his obituary reported that he was survived by a
half-brother, Joe Kellett.) Reportedly, Nancy died in 1885 or 1886, but
documentation is currently lacking.

Subj: Queries Date: 97-09-23
From: [email protected] (Kay Haden)
Dear Nancy, I have interests in Tennessee on both sides of the family:
My ggg grandfather, Ephraim Flor Hubber COMSTOCK, son of William COMSTOCK
and Winnie Ann HARDIN, was born 1794 near Hardinsburg, KY, and died 20 December
1847, location unknown.
He married Nancy GOODMAN in Maury County, TN, 14 Oct 1823. She was his 3rd
wife. According to family tradition, Nancy was half Indian, probably Choctaw.
Their children included his two,
Dorcus COMSTOCK
Napoleon Bonaparte COMSTOCK,
from the earlier marriages and
Caroline COMSTOCK,
Hugh Bonaparte COMSTOCK,
Leander Brown COMSTOCK,
William Decatur COMSTOCK,
Warren Harris COMSTOCK,
James Irving COMSTOCK,
Elijah Thomas COMSTOCK(Tom - my gg grandfather), and
Harry Alexander COMSTOCK.
Most if not all the children were born in Tennessee, either Maury County
or possibly Perry County.
Nancy GOODMAN may have been born in Graves County, KY; she died 24 May 1855,
location unknown.
Their children migrated to Missouri, then Kansas, Arkansas, etc.
Does anyone share this story?
Does anyone have any connections to GOODMAN in Maury County?
Anyone from Tennessee know the likelihood of her Indian heritage?
Any advice on how to pursue my research?
