My gggrandmother was the daughter of Gilbert Russell And Mary Sloan. Her name was Elizabeth Russell Married John C Speer in 1886 . I would love to find more info on any of the siblings Missouri, Hannah, Mary, James, Agnes, Martha Adaline, Elizabeth, Silas, or Simeon. I found Gilbert probate records a few months ago (in Dallas County historical Society)showing he died On Feb 19th 1882 In Dallas County Mo at his home. Kindof strange a few weeks earlier George and Samuel  Lawrence stopped by Gilbert's ( Russell)  house  And George Lawrence died at his home of small pox also said A child of Mr. Russell has died .( ????) This article was in Boliver Herald Dated 1882  Feb. 9th 1882.    Would love to find out more info about my Russell's.
