        1. John1 Russell was born circa 1804 at GA. He married Mary (Russell) circa 1830 at AL? He married Nancy (--?--) before 1850; based on the Center Ridge Church records of Clarke county wife Nancy, and Dallas county AL 1850 census.
        He appears to be the John in 1850 Dallas AL that looks to be married to a young 2nd wife name Nancy born 1825. This Nancy might even have been a daughter and not the wife. He does has son L.N. born 1838 in AL. I can NOT find a connection between the John Russell in Dallas County 1850 and the other Russell that came early to that area. There was John son of Mathew, that married Jane Waugh he died in 1837.
       He is a better match to the John Russell found Smith County MS in 1860.
       
       The John Russell found in Clark County after 1850 is found in Church records with a wife Nancy. Keep in mind there was another John Russell in Clark pre 1850. The early John Russell was married to Mary Knight in Marion County MS. He had died by 1850 and his wife has remarried.
       
       Family legend, Letter Wrote Jan 1990 to Mullen, from John Russell, copied list sent to him from Great Aunt Myrtis Russell Stringer, short before her death in 1985. "Grandparents on Papa's side (Andrew Leroy Russell), Littleton N. m Mary Carr, John m Mary ____, Abner Russell married John m Mary ____.
       It appears that the Smith County John Russell might be the son of Absolom Russell.
