1812 - 1900  (88 years)

• Name	James F. RUSSELL
  Birth	18 Mar 1812	KY
  	source: dates carved on grave headstone; appeared very legible when lightly cleaned and dusted with white powder.
  Gender	Male
  Residence	1850	District 1, Lincoln, Kentucky   [3]

  	This land was willed from Henry, Letha's father,to spouse Catherine, and sold to James Russell and George Carpenter, Jr.. It bordered lands which originally belonged to Conrad Zimmerman/Carpenter, Sr. Conrad Sr. was Letha's uncle, brother of Adam, John and Henry, sons of George Zimmerman/Carpenter, Sr.
  Residence	1860	Lincoln, Kentucky   [4]
  Census	1850 , 1860, 1870 & 1880	Lincoln Co, KY/Casey Co., KY
  	By process of elimination and search of Casey, Boyle and Lincoln Counties, Soundex Census searches located the family. The name Russell appeared without two "ls" and the 1860 Census looked like "Rufell" (I was told by a professional genealogist that the English writing often appeared to look like an "f" when in fact there was a double "s" in a name -they would stack part of an s on top of the other.) 1850 Lincoln Co, page 272, listed James F Russel, 39, farmer, Alethia (?), 39, Malinda, 18, G.W, 16, Conrad, 13, J.H., 11, Amanda, 9, M., 7, illegible, /1 & illeg., /1. No real estate or pers prop value listed. They were listed in District 1. 1860 Lincoln Co., p. 108, listed Jas. F. Rufell (the double stacked s), 49, Elethia, 49, Geo W, 26, Conrad, 22, Jacob H, 20, Amanda, 18, Margaret, 16 and Jas. R, 14. (census was to have been taken 1 June) 1860 Census also listed the real estate value of $10500 and pers prop @ $3051. (With that value, either he is presumed to have had at least 1,000 acres of land or many slaves.) 1870 Lincoln Co, Hustonville, P. 48, James F, 59, Alethia, 59 and George, 35, were the only ones remaining together. Real estate value was listed $730, and pers prop @ $1615. All births were in KY; Rolll 482, Bk 1, Hustonville. 1880, in Ancestry.com, Lincoln Co. Hustonville listed him wife wife, LETHA. His father was listed as b. in VA. Son, George W also shown in 1880 census, with wife, Edna T... District 70, Hustonville; Fam Hist Lib film # 1254428, NA file #T9-0428, Pg # 273C. Living near them/or with them was also son, Jacob H and family.
  Misc	His middle initial of "F", his year of death, and his children were identified clearly in his estate settlement papers, copied from Lincoln Co., KY records.
  Residence	1880	Hustonville, Lincoln, Kentucky, United States   [5]
  Death	25 Jun 1900	Lincoln Co, KY
  	Date taken from picture of headstone; the year 1900 appeared very clear on the stone, August 2006 Descendent's of Henry Carpenter manuscript said he died prior to 1880; however, he and family were listed in 1880 census. His estate settlement was in 1900, and an LDS IGI site lists his death as 25 Jun 1900, as well.
  Burial	Carpenter's Station Cemetary, Lincoln Co., KY
  	A memorial placque onsite, lists him as James T not James F. This is believed to be in error, as the stone was very weathered and the F could easily have been mistaken for a T when the placque was later created.
