Notes:
There are questions surrounding the wives of William Russell. According to the 1850 census William was born in Georgia about 1781 and Elizabeth, who we assume is his wife, was also born in Georgia, though in 1800. There are no marriage or birth records to confirm the dates in the census. William removed to Wayne, Mississippi prior to 1820 and is found in the 1820 census with 1 boy and 2 girls under the age of 10 in the household as well as 2 more girls between the age of 10 and 15. Also in the 1820 census we have the oldest female being of the age of 26-44 but this could be in error. Elizabeth would have only been 20 in the 1820 census if the 1850 census was correct. So is it possible that William, being 19 years older than Elizabeth, was married prior and some of these children were from a first marriage or other relatives? Together William and his wife or wives had at least 9 known children after 1820 and as many as 5 more previous to 1820. Interestingly none of the children have been found to have named a daughter Elizabeth. William died in Wayne Co., Mississippi and was probably buried at a family plot there. It appears William remarried to the widow of George W. Grayson, Catherine McFarland, for a shortime before he died.
A recent discovery of a death certificate of William's youngest son Solomon who died in Texas in 1922 has his parents listed as William Russell and Mary Clark or could that be Mary Elizabeth Clark?. The informant appears to have been Solomon's oldest son Edmon. Regardless, I have added the last name of Clark to Elizabeth, she is in all likelihood the mother of the 9 known children and possibly 3 of the unknown children born prior to 1820.William married Elizabeth Clark in Georgia. Elizabeth was born about 1800 in Georgia; died before 1850 in Wayne Co., Mississippi. [Group Sheet]
