Harriman, Tennessee,
                                 August 5, 1920.

Mr. W.G. Stanard,
Va. Historical Society,
Richmond, Va.

Dear Mr. Stanard:-  I am writing to know if you can give me
some assistance with my Russell line.  I am enclosing some
notes on the family which may help and may not.  This about
all I have at the present time.  I wish to establish the
names of the parents of George Russell, and would like to
know if you have any thing on the family of William Russell
of Fincastle County Va., who was a member of the Convention
that met at Williamsburg, May 6, 1776?  I am of the opinion
that he was the father of Capt. George Russell, but this
is just what I wish to get, the proof that he was.

I descend from Capt. George Russell through his daughter
Sarah who married Lieut. Isaac Lane.

Please return the notes I am enclosing, as soon as you have
finished with them, as they are all I  have.

Send your bill along for what ever you can find that will
be of benefit to me.

Thanking you in advance, I am,


Yours very truly,


CKH/K
