I am a descendent of Mary Emma Smith and Elijah Harrison (Ide) Russell. Please note correction for Ide Russell's name: 6. Mary Emma SMITH b 14 Oct 1881 d 9 June 1918, married Elzie H. (Ide) RUSSELL [should be Elijah Harrison (Ide) Russell].
My Grandmother was Maudie Lee Russell Kirbow, daughter of Mary and Ide.
I am also looking for the connection between Shadrack H. Morris and Gideon Morris, Sr. of Morristown, TN.
Oral history says that Gideon was Shadrack's grandfather, but who is his father? Was John Morris married twice and Shadrack is from the first marriage? Thank you for any information that anyone may have. You can email me at donnafkw@gmail.com
