"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Monday, February 8, 1904

ILL A WEEK WITH NO MEDICINE.

John RUSSEL, a laborer, staggered into police headquarters
yesterday afternoon and dropped into a chair in front of the
captain's desk. He had been sick of pneumonia for a week and
was so nearly exhausted that he could hardly stand. He said he
had been at a lodging house near Third and Walnut streets for a
week without medical attention and had risen from his sick bed to
go in search of a physician.

He is 21 years old and came here from the Soldiers' home at
Leavenworth. Dr. GINSBERG, assistant police surgeon,
examined him and sent a hurry order for an ambulance to carry him
to the city hospital. The surgeon said the man was in a critical
condition, with discouraging prospects for his getting well.

maggiemartin111 — 2008-01-02 07:13:24Z

Hi

John Russell
Born about 1830
Died 7/9/1876 Distict Hospital Forbes NSW Australia
Father John Russell whose occupation was Yeoman
Spouse Ellen
Child
Frederick Albert Russell
Born about 1860 Liverpool England
Died 1928 WA Australia
Married 11/8/1887 Broken Hill NSW Australia

According to death cert of Frederick he lived in Aus for 65 years approx so that would make him 3 when left England, between 1860 - 1865

John's death cert very sketchy as it was certified by the hospital warder.

Any help in locating birth, marriage details for John & his wife Ellen and any other children of this union would be greatly appreciated.

Mitchell Russell

vorcutt1 — 2007-08-09 18:29:40Z

Looking for information on Mitchell RUSSELL, born in Canada c. 1841, moved to the US and lived in upstate NY (Malone, Westerville, etc) with his wife Lucy (LABRAKE? LABRECQUE? born c. 1845 in NY).

Their daughter, Emma Amelia, married David Nelson DEGRAY and became the mother of my grandfather, Walter R DeGray.

Mitchell and Lucy also had other children: Delia, Eben, Jerry, John, and George.

I can't seem to find any information on what his name was before it was Americanized, if it was, which I believe it must have been...perhaps Michel ROUSSEL? In any case, the Michel ROUSSELS I've been able to find don't seem to be the one I'm looking for.

If anyone has information on Mitchell's parents (or anything else), I'd sure appreciate it....

Thanks much,
V. Orcutt

Re: James J. Russel lineage

PKressmann — 2006-05-26 20:39:04Z

My two great grandfather, James M. Russell, was born in Trumbull County June 19, 1821. He married Mary E. Gleason from Madison County, N.Y. They lived in Paulding County, Ohio. In an 1882 book about Brown Township, Paulding County and its representative families, his parent are listed as James W. and Jean Ann Wolfcale Russell. This seems to be the same family as yours.

Thanks so much for the information. I have, in fact, just found the www.lalley.com site last Thursday, which is how I found the Russel connection (great site!!). Now I'm looking for collateral lines and fellow researchers to share info with. Thanks again!

Re: Russel in Wilmington DE 1850

If you use the Wilmington Irish site, www.lalley.com, you will find alot of information on your Thomas & Elizabeth Russel. I also had Russells in Wilmington from the early 1850's but I don't believe ours are related. I do believe that there is another gentleman who might be connected to your Russel line - his name is T. Alan Russell. You might be able to find his information on Rootsweb or this board's archives.

nicolaas russel from dramma or drammen in norway (1719)

2004-07-16 12:55:15Z

I am looking for information about Nicolaas Russel. According to the records in Surinam, formerly known as Dutch Guyana, Nicolaas Russel was born in Dramma, Norway. He married in 1754 at age 35 Catharina Gerardina Cortina. This means he must have been born in 1719.
Nicolaas was a member of the Lutherse Church.
His wife Catharina remarried in 1760 so Nicolaas died between 1754 and 1760.
I think Nicolaas had at least 1 son named after him Nicolaas who was born in 1755 in Surinam and died in 1819 in Surinam.

I hope somebody can help me.

Hi, My Russell search is for Thomas Russell who married my great grandmother, Mary Eichelberger, in Bulter County, Ohio, March 6, 1847. Mary had two children at the time. She kept one with her, Martin Eichelberger, and the girl went to live with another family. Thomas Russell entered the marriage with three children. Per the 1860 Ohio census his children were; Peter, age 22, John, 20, and Samuel, 16. Since Mary gave up one of her children at the beginning of the marriage, it is feasable that Thomas gave up one of his. I have no information where Thomas Russell came from. Thomas and Mary had two children during their marriage; Leah and Ellen, they both became school teachers in the Butler County area.

Re: James J. Russel lineage

JudyTomlinson44 — 2004-10-12 10:00:25Z

To Whom It May Concern: I know of no similiar names in my line of Russels. My Russel ancestor; James settled in Trumbull County c1806. My Russel lineage goes back to a Robert Russel born 1704 in Scotland. His son Andrew settled in Washington County, PA and died there in 1814. His son Robert died in Beaver County, PA 1820. His son James Woodburn Russel married Jane Wolfcale in 1810 in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio. They are my 4th greatgrandparents and were the parents of Caroline Russel Randolph.

Re: James J. Russel lineage

JudyTomlinson44 — 2004-10-12 10:00:25Z

Hello: Yes, it does seem to be the same family. I believe that it is Jane Wolfcale not Jean. An article from the History of Trumbull County stated that my James was James J. I believe that this is in error and that it is indeed James Woodburn Russell or James W. Russell. This is what a certified genealogist from NJ told me. I tend to believe that this is correct. We must be distant cousins; since James Russell is my third great grandfather! My lineage is as follows: Me; my father James Harry Lamb born 1905 died 1959; his mother; Anna Randolph Lamb born 1881 died 1964; her father James Clark Randolph born 1844 died 1924; his mother; Caroline Russell, born 1819 died 1901 and her father; James Woodburn Russell born 1785 Washington County, PA died 1869; Paulding County, OHio. Jane Ann Wolfcale his wife born 1792 died 1847 Mahoning County, Ohio buried in Cornersburg Cemetery, Trumbull County, Ohio. Her father John Wolfcale, Sr. Born 1752 VA or PA Killed Jul 1839. His father Abraham Wolfcale born c1731 father Possibly Johannes Wolfcale born Hueffelshiem, Germany died 1730.

Horace and Sarah F Russel

suesherman42 — 2004-08-30 20:30:50Z

I'm looking for Horace and Sarah F Russel family in Rocky Hill, CT in the mid 1800's. Does anyone have info on them? Children listed in the 1850 census of Rocky Hill, CT as Rufus A. 21, Elizabeth A. 18, Sarah G. or J.14, Ellen E. 12, Sophia A. 9, Alice L. 6.

I'm researching Hayfords and know that a Lydia Russel(l) was married to John Hayford originally of Middleboro MA and later CT and later Warren and Washington Ctys. in NY. That John Hayford would be my 3rd great grandfather. John had a dau. Joannah who married a Rufus A. Rising.

Looking for a connection to my great grandmother (possibly the Elizabeth A above) who may have been raised by a Russel(l) family after the death of father Solomon Hayford in 1842, and possibly death of mother, also. There were 8 Hayford children but Elizabeth is the only name I know for sure.

I have no information on Solomon's wife's name.

Reuchlin WRIGHT, 59 years old, died yesterday at his
home, 3836 Euclid avenue, following a stroke of apoplexy.
Mr. WRIGHT was first stricken last Monday morning but
seemed to be on the road to recovery when he received a
second stroke from which he failed to recover. He was
a brother of Wilbur and Orville WRIGHT, the inventors of
the first successful heavier-than-air flying machine.
Wilbur WRIGHT died several years ago, following an
attack of pneumonia.

Mr. WRIGHT was born on a farm near what is now
Fowlerton, Ind., and had lived in Kansas City fifteen years.
Prior to five years ago, he was employed by the Kansas
City, Fort Scott & Memphis railroad for about ten years.
He afterward took up farming at Tonganoxie, Kas., and
retired after two years of farm life. He moved to Lawrence,
Kas., and then, after a two years' stay, returned to Kansas
City.

Mr. WRIGHT is survived by his wife, Mrs. Lulu WRIGHT,
home address; two daughters, Mrs. Harold STEEPER,
McLouth, Kas.; Mrs. George RUSSEL, Lawrence, Kas.;
a son, Herbert WRIGHT, 4923 Agnes avenue; two brothers,
Lorin and Orville WRIGHT, and a sister, Miss Katherine

Looking for any info on my gr.gr.grandfather John James Russel/Russell b. 1837 d.1914 in New Brunswick Canada, Scotch. Second wife was a Sealey (of the posturepedic mattress co. possibly) Found them together on the 1871 census for King's County New Brunswick Canada, Parish of Kingston but not on the 1861 one. Anyhelp appreciated.

Am researching siblings of my g-grandfather Thomas Irvin Hagler and know that they were orphaned in late 1860's.In the 1870 census Francis Hagler age 7 is living with Dwight Russel & wife Sarah in Cabarrus County. I wondered if you know how this child came to live with them? Was she kin to one of the Russel's? Thanks

In 1880 census I found stephen and charles russel listed as step sons to henry wilson. It says their father was born in NC. The wife of henry is Amelia. I am at a road block. I can't even find a connection to Amelia and the boys. Charles never reappeared after that. Stephen showed up in 1910 with the last name of Russell. (added the L). They were all living in Clark Co, Washington. Any ideas? Help? The Wilson's were raising my grandfather, Edward Russell (listed as grandson) in 1910.

Lord Hugh Gordon & Marjory Russel -

Does anyone have information regarding Hugh Gordon & Marjory Russel from Scotland?

In the family tree I inherited, it has "Hew" Gordon and Marjory Russel as the parents of William Gordon (b. 11 Jul 1750) and Hugh (16 Oct 1761) William m. Anna Ross on 29 Dec 1767.

I found another record regarding Hugh & Marjory but this places Marjory at age 10 when she had William so I'm not sure if they are even the right parents.

Any further information regarding this family would be greatly appreciated!
