MARY RACKLEY
FIFTH GENERATION
Mary Rackley, daughter of John Rackley III and his wife Mary of Bute (=
present-day Franklin) County, N. C. (Ref. 1), was born about 1735. She and
James Hunt were married about 1753, judging by the date of birth given for
their oldest known child (Ref. 2),
Born 24 July 1732 (Ref. 2), James was a son of Henry Hunt (ca.
17001750/1751) and his wife Agnes (Ref. 3). Henry and Agnes Hunt were John
and Mary Rackley's neighbors on the north side of the Tar River just a
short distance downstream from the present-day town of Louisburg. Henry and
his family moved to the area from Brunswick County, Va., about 1742 (Ref.
4-6), but he was born in Surry County, Va. (Ref. 7). Henry was a son of
William Hunt (son of William Hunt and his wife Sarah) and Sarah Wyche
(apparently a daughter of Henry Wyche).
Henry Hunt's will (Ref, 3) was dated 13 November 1750 and recorded in
Granville (Franklin) County, N. C., in March of the following year.
Executors were James, who was then under 21 years of age, and his mother,
who married William Edwards on 2 November 1752 (Ref. 52). James received
"land above my plantation whereon I now live adjoining Buffalo Ck., &
Negro Boy, Cato," John Rackley's 1769 Bute County will (Ref. 1) named Mary
Hunt as a daughter and left his homeplace to his grandson Henry Hunt, who
was only about 14 years old at the time. James Hunt was an executor along
with Person Rackley.
James served with several of the Rackley men in Capt. Benjamin Simms
Company of the Granville Militia (Ref. 9). James Hunt owned two tracts of
land in addition to that inherited from his father. On 28 October 1761
James purchased 160 acres on the north side of Tar River on Buffalo Branch
from John Stallion [= Stallings?] (Ref. 10). That tract was part of 640
acres granted to Osborn Jeffreys in 1752 and described in the deed to
Stallion as "land at the upper line of land formerly of Henry Hunt." On 6
March 1789, George Hunt deeded his brother James 140 acres on the north
bank of Tar River (Ref. 12). That property was the Henry Hunt homeplace,
which George had inherited from their father.
James took the Oath of Allegiance in Bute County in February 1778 (Ref,
13) along with his brother George, his son James, and other men living in
Capt. Milner's District. In the September 1786 term of court, James, James
Jr., George, William, and Moses Hunt were appointed to work on the road
from Buffalo Creek to The Granery (Ref. 14). James and Mary remained in
Franklin County until after the birth of their youngest child (Ref, 2) and
until after the 1790 census (Ref. 15). On 6 October 1796, they sold all 575
acres of their land on the north side of the Tar River adjoining Buffalo
Creek to Henry G. Williams (Ref. 16). Witnesses were George Tunstall, Sion
Hunt, and W. A. Simmons. Shortly thereafter, James and Mary moved to
Tennessee County, N. C., a region that became known as Robertson County
and Montgomery County when the State of Tennessee was established in 1796.
On 19 July 1797, James bought land in Robertson County (Ref. 17,18).
Mary Rackley was still living when James Hunt died in Robertson
County. Dated 22 August 1803, his will (Ref. 19), was proved in the
February 1805 term of court. His inventory, dated 13 April 1805, included
640 acres of land, two slaves, five horses, 17 cattle, 70 hogs, three feather beds, a shotgun, a rifle, two spinning wheels, a Bible, a hymnal, two books of sermons, and four volumes of Fletcher's Works.
Mary's date of death and the place of burial for James and Mary are unknown. Names and dates of birth for the children of James and Mary Hunt are taken from Willis Hunt's Day Book (Ref. 2).

HENRY HUNT
SIXTH GENERATION
Henry Hunt, eldest child of James and Mary Rackley Hunt, was born 17
September 1755 (Ref. 2) in present-day Franklin County, N.C. John Rackley's
1769 will (Ref. 1) left his homeplace to his grandson, Henry Hunt, who was
only about 14 years old at the time. In 1778, Henry took the Oath of
Allegiance along with his father and his Uncle George, so they could vote
in the forthcoming first state election (Ref. 13). In March 1796, Henry
and James Hunt sold John Foster Jr. 480 acres "which is the same land &
plantation whereon the said Henry Hunt now lives" (Ref. 8). Using his full
signature, Henry signed first; James signed second, using an X as his mark.
The boundaries included Tar River, "Eal Root-Bottoms," and Sycamore
Creek, landmarks that indicate the property may have included the 130 acres Lucretia and David Anthony received in 1764 as a gift from her father, John Rackley, and sold to a James Hunt on 4 September 1775 (Ref. 11).
The question is: Which James Hunt used a mark to sign the joint deed of sale to John Foster Jr. in 1796? Henry's father James signed his name in full when he sold his land to Henry G, Williams on 6 October 1796 (Ref. 16); it is unlikely that he would have used a mark in March of that same year. Henry's brother James Jr. was a resident of Georgia in 1796 (Ref. 7); had he been an absentee landowner, the deed would have indicated his place of residence. Catherine Bond Gheesling (letter to EFP, 6 Feb. 1993) suggested that the James of the Joint deed was an otherwise undocumented son of Henry Hunt, and thus a grandson of James and Mary Rackley Hunt. Born in 1755, Henry was certainly old enough to have an adult son by 1796; however, in 1775 Henry was only 20 years old and not at all likely to have a son who was buying real estate. It appears that the original purchaser of the Anthony land was Henry's father James, who gave the property to his eldest son with a provison that it would go to Henry's son James at the time of Henry's death. In that case, the younger James would have had to sign the deed in order for Henry to give the purchaser a clear title to the property. Although no deed has been found that transfers ownership of the Anthony tract from James to Henry, the 1796 deed (Ref. 8) clearly indicates that all of the land was received through inheritance: "... the said Henry & James Hunt at the time of the sealing and delivery of these presents are seized and possessed of a good sure perfect & indefensible Estate of
Inheritance in fee simple in and to the above Bargained & Sold land and premises. Furthermore, analysis of John Rackley's land transactions indicates that the homeplace willed to Henry Hunt contained about 360 acres. The Anthony tract contained 130 acres. The total of 490 acres is only 10 more than the 480 acres given in the Henry and James Hunt deed of sale. Taking into consideration the "more or less" factor involved in most land surveys of the period, a 10-acre discrepancy is insignificant.
The March 1796 date of the sale suggests that Henry and James were preparing to accompany, or perhaps precede, Henry's parents in the move to Tennessee (Ref. 17,18). James Hunt's will (Ref, 19) left Henry $1, which further suggests that Henry had received his inheritance during the father's lifetime.
A Henry Hunt was taxable in Robertson County, Tenn., in 1812 (Ref. 53) and head of a household there in 1820 (Ref. 48). A census matrix (Ref. 22) suggests that Henry and an unidentified wife had two sons born between 1774 and 1790 and as many as four daughters born prior to 1790. In 1820 Henry's household included a female born prior to 1775 and four children born between 1794 and 1820, probably grandchildren. The two males born between 1774 and 1790 are believed to have been the James of the 1796 deed of sale (Ref. 16) and the Jorden Hunt who was taxable in Robertson County, Tenn., in 1812 (Ref. 53) and head of a household there in 1820. Jorden Hunt appears to have had a wife and six children, four daughters and two sons, born between 1804 and 1820, His household was not found on the 1830 census or later. A James the right age to have been Henry's son does not appear as head of a household on the 1820 or 1830 census of Robertson County, Tenn,
Henry has not been found as the head of a household in 1830 or 1840. In 1830 he may have been the male in John Hunt's household born between 1750 and 1760. The will of a Henry Hunt (Ref. 30), believed to have been a son of James and Mary Rackley Hunt was recorded in Robertson County in 1843. The heirs have not been identified.

SIXTH GENERATION
Lucy Hunt, daughter of James and Mary Rackley Hunt, was horn on 18 May 1757 in Bute (present-day Franklin) County, N.C. About 1775, she married John Teasley III (son of John Teasley Jr. and his wife Mary), who was born in 1755. Lucy's husband appears to be the John "Tiersly" who took the Oath of Allegiance in Bute County in 1778 along with the Hunt and Rackley men (Ref. John and Lucy moved to Georgia prior to 1 October 1787, when he and James Hunt Jr. witnessed a deed in Wilkes County (Ref. 7). Lucy was left $1 in her father's will (Ref. 19). Her husband died in 1816, and she died on 4 November 1846 in Montgomery County, Tenn. (Ref. 20). John and Lucy Teasley had at least 11 children, including two daughters who married Tyner brothers (Ref . 28, 31, 41) .

SEVENTH GENERATION
Winifred Teasley, daughter of Lucy Hunt and John Teasley, was born on 4 December 1775, in Bute (= Franklin) County, N.C. She and her parents moved to Wilkes County, Ga., sometime between 1778 and 1 October 1787 (Ref. 7,13). On 24 January 1793 Winifred married Joshua Tyner, a Revolutionary War veteran who was born 21 July 1767 in Wilkes County, Ga. He was a son of Richard Tyner (ca. 1740-24 September 1824) and an unknown first wife who was killed by Indians. Joshua, his brother Noah (who married Winifred's sister Priscilla), and his sister Tamar (future wife of Moses Hunt) were among those who survived the Indian raid. The Joshua Tyner family moved to Robertson County, Tenn., about 1801 and to Illinois in 1816. The youngest of the 14, or maybe 15, Tyner children was born in Illinois.
Joshua and Winifred were pioneers in that part of Franklin County, now known as Williamson County. The first permanent settlement, a stockade, was built in 1810 to protect the early settlers from the few remaining Shawnees. By 1816 wagon trains, following the old buffalo trails and crossing the Ohio River by ferry, were bringing settlers from Kentucky and Tennessee into southern Illinois. Joshua, Winifred, and their children accompanied the four Spiller brothers and other Robertson County neighbors who traveled north in the 1816 wagon train. They settled in the Eight-Mile Prairie, a level expanse covered with grass as tall as a man's head and rimmed with low trees and, beyond them, with tall forests. Here Joshua Tyner, William Lindsay, and Jasper Crain built their cabins. Samuel Talley Russell and his brother-in-law William Campbell also came to this fertile prairie in 1816. The following year Sam, the eldest son of Philip Russell and Elizabeth Stewart (see Ref. 28), went back to Tennessee to bring up the rest of the family and a herd of cattle. Philip Russell's other sons who came to Eight-Mile Prairie were James Stewart, William Washington, and Philip Jefferson. The William Campbell family soon moved on to search for a new frontier in Wisconsin, but Philip Russell and his sons did not.
The Tyners and the Russells were among the approximately 40,000 citizens living within the State of Illinois when it was established in 1818. Three of the Russell sons--Sam, Jim, and Jeff--married daughters of Joshua and Winifred Tyner. The young couples settled near their parents, the well-defined trail past Philip Russell's door became a stage road, and the neighborhood soon became known as Russell Corners. Today, the site of the original homestead is in the Crab Orchard Lake area between Marion and Carbondale, Ill.
Joshua Tyner's Revolutionary War pension application (Ref. 34), filed in Franklin County, ILL., on 28 June 1833, indicates that he enlisted at the age of 15. Joshua died 26 December 1838 in Franklin County. Winifred died on 27 March 1842, by which time Williamson County had been formed from Franklin. [Adapted from materials submitted by Harold E. Schertner (Ref. 28, 31,32,41-44)1

PRISCILLA TEASLEY SEVENTH GENERATION
Priscilla Teasley, daughter of Lucy Hunt and John Teasley, was born in 1788. She married Noah Tyner, son of Richard Tyner (ca. 1740-24 Sept. 1824) and his first wife. Born about 1774, Noah was a younger brother to the Joshua Tyner who married Priscilla's sister, Winifred Teasley (Ref. 31). Noah's sister, Tamar Tyner, married Priscilla's uncle, Moses Hunt. When Noah was a child, Indians attacked the Tyner home. His mother and a little sister were killed and scalped. Two sisters, Mary and Tamar, were captured Some of the older children escaped by running away, but Noah survived by hiding in a large hollow tree that became known throughout the countryside as "Noah's Ark" Six children are known to have been born to Priscilla and Noah. He died in 1818 in Montgomery County, Tenn. She died there on 8 Mar 1846. (Ref. 28,31,45,46)

MARY HUNT
SIXTH GENERATION
Mary Hunt, daughter of James and Mary Rackley Hunt, was born 16 April 1759 in Franklin County, N.C. She married Joshua Jones, probably about
1779. In her father's will, she was left $1. Because she is named in the will, it is assumed that she was still alive at the time it was written in 1803. No children have been identified for this couple.


MOSES HUNT
SIXTH GENERATION
Moses Hunt, son of James and Mary Rackley Hunt, was born 18 June 1760 in present-day Franklin County, N.C. He was a soldier in the American Revolution, and he took the State Oath of Allegiance in Bute (Franklin) County, N.C., in 1778. He was left $1 in his father's will.
Moses married Tamar Tyner in Georgia sometime between 1787 and 1798.
The daughter of Richard Tyner (Ref. 42), Tamar was born in 1767. When Tamar was a girl, Indians raided the Tyner home. Her mother and baby sister were killed and scalped. Some of the older children ran to safety, and young Noah hid in a big hollow tree later known throughout the countryside as "Noah's Ark." Tamar and her sister Mary were captured by the Indians and carried off to their village. About three years later, an Indian trader named John Monaco saw the two girls and realized they must be the missing Tyner daughters. He bargained for them and was able to purchase Mary, who shortly afterwards became his wife. The Indians refused to sell Tamar because she was quick to obey, of good disposition, tireless in her work, and hence necessary to them. Monack soon made a second attempt to Purchase Tamar, but again to no avail. After his departure, the Indians became very suspicious of Tamar. An old squaw Tamar had befriended told her that the headmen believed troops would come to rescue her. Rather than give her up, they would burn her at the stake on the next ceremonial day. Tamar prevailed upon the squaw to furnish her a canoe and provisions. One night, with the aid or her faithful Indian friend, Tamar made her escape. Traveling down the waters of the Chattahoochee River by night and hiding along the river bank by day, she eventually reached Appalachicola Bay, where she was sighted by a passing merchantman and given transportation to Savannah. The people of Savannah received her as a heroine and outfitted her for the trip home to Elbert County. The news of her coming preceded her, and she was welcomed in Petersburg with great rejoicing. Tamar and Moses were married a short time after her homecoming- they lived in Elbert County, Ga. where she died in 1840 and he in 1842 (or possibly in 1849). Today many of their descendants live in Elbert and Hart counties. (Ref. 7,19,28,45-47)

JAMES HUNT JR.
SIXTH GENERATION
James Hunt Jr., son of James and Mary Rackley Hunt was born 6 June 1762 in present-day Franklin County, N.C. He served as a soldier in the American Revolution and moved to Georgia sometime prior to 1 October 1787, when he and John Teasley witnessed a deed in Wilkes County (Ref. 7). On 11 November 1790, James married Jemima Drucilla Carter (Ref.26) in Wilkes County. (Other descendants give her name as "Jemima M. Carter" or "Jemima Carter.") James and Jemimah became the parents of 12 children, all born in Georgia.
On 27 December 1791 James Hunt bought 300 acres on Coldwater Creek, Elbert County, Ga., which was formed from Wilkes County on 10 December 1790. This tract appears to be the homeplace, and part of it later fell into Hart County (created on 7 December 1852). James Jr. (referred to as James Sr. in Georgia records) was left $1 in his father's will (Ref. 19). In the 1820 Georgia Land Lottery, James "Senior" drew Lot 345, District 2, Early County. That lot is mentioned in his will, which was signed on 8 February 1832. In the 1827 Georgia Land Lottery, he is listed as "James Hunt, Revolutionary Soldier." He drew Lot 274, District 17, Muscogee County. That lot is also mentioned in his will, though not actually granted to him until after his death. James died on 23 March 1832, leaving his homeplace, cattle, horses, slaves, and so forth to his wife, Jemima h, for her life. The will was proved in Elbert County on 3 September 1832. The inventory took place on 25 September 1832. Items listed included 11 slaves, farm stock, tools, household furniture, and bookcase and books, with a total value of $3,492.
Jemimah was living in the home of her son Sion in Elbert County at the time of the 1860 census. According to that census she was born in Virginia and was 95 years old (b. 1765-1766). A family Bible record written in 1850 or later indicates she may have been born as late as 1772. That same source gives her date of death as 7 January 1864. Her property was valued at $10,500. James and Jemimah are buried "in a field in the Nuburg Community in Hart County, Ga., near the Elbert County line."

Born 24 October 1803, she was the daughter of Benjamin Thornton and Sarah Upshaw of Elbert County. [There is some confusion regarding the identity of Benjamin's wife or wives. Some say he married Elizabeth Allen; "Rebecca" was the name given for his wife in his wIll.3 Priscilla bore Sion nine children and died on 16 August 1846 about four months after the birth of her last child Sion married Sarah Penn (b. 10 May 1810) on 7 May 1849, when his youngest child was only three years old. No children were born to that union.
Sion enlisted as a lieutenant in the Elbert County Militia from 29 August 1823 to 28 January 1825. He was a farmer who owned land in Muscogee, Lownds, Thomas, and Irwin counties in addition to his homeplace on Little Coldwater Creek near Summerville in Elbert County. A letter written in 1867 (Ref. 55) indicates he was the son primarily responsible for his mother's care during her declining years.
Sion died on 11 February 1875, and Sarah died soon after, on 3 July 1875. Apparently she and Sion became ill about the same time, for his estate records include a receipt from Nancy Gaines for waiting on them in their last illness. (Ref. 7)

SHADRACK HUNT
SIXTH GENERATION
Shadrack Hunt, son of Mary Rackley and James Hunt, was born in present day Franklin County, N.C., 11 April 1764. According to the bond, Shadrack married Elizabeth Whitehouse in Franklin County, N.C., on, or shortly after, 27 December 1787 (Ref. 23). In 1789, he witnessed a deed in Franklin County, and he headed a household there on the 1790 census. In 1800 Shadrack was living in adjacent Wake County. His father's will, written in Robertson County, Tenn., and dated 22 August 1803, left Shadrack one Negro named Milly (Ref. 19). He was taxable in Davidson County, Tenn., in 1811 and in Robertson County in 1812 (Ref. 53,54). Shadrack, who would have been about 76 years old in 1840, appears to be the "Sh. Hunt," 70 to 80 years old, on the 1840 census of Robertson County (Ref. 22). The will of a Shadrack Hunt was recorded in Robertson County in 1847 (Re f 35) . Name s of Shadrack and Elizabeth's children have not been determined, but a census matrix (Ref. 22) suggests that they had five sons and five daughters.


AGNES HUNT
SIXTH GENERATION
Agnes Hunt, namesake of her paternal grandmother, was born to James and Mary Rackley Hunt on 27 July 1766 in present-day Franklin County, N.C. She married Conrad Coon, or Coone (Ref. 27). Her father's will left Agnes $1 (Ref. 19). No children have been identified for Agnes and Conrad Coone.


WILLIAM HUNT
SIXTH GENERATION
William Hunt, son of Mary Rackley and James Hunt, was born on 9 November 1768 in present-day Franklin County, N.C., where he witnessed a deed in 1789. He married Frances Lewis (Ref. 27). An early settler in Tennessee, he received a 100-acre portion of the homeplace, a feather bed, and a saw from his father's estate (Ref. 19). In 1812 William was taxable in Robertson County, Tenn., where he headed a household in 1820 and 1830 (Ref. 48). A census matrix (Ref. 22) suggests that William and Frances had as many as three daughters and seven sons, but their children have not been identified by name. William is presumed to have died between the 1830 and 1840 censuses because Frances headed a household in Robertson County in 1840.


MATTHEW HALE HUNT
SIXTH GENERATION
Matthew Hale Hunt, son of Mary Rackley and James Hunt, was born on 26 April 1771 in present-day Franklin County, N.C. Matthew married Nancy Kilbro (Re f . 27) or Kimbro (Ref. 38) in Davidson County, Tenn., where the bond was posted on 13 November 1797 On 23 February 1801 Matthew purchased 50 acres of land on the waters of Stones River and the south bank of McCrorys Creek (Ref. 37). Witnesses were Sion Hunt and John Anthony. Three days later, on 26 February 1801, Matthew witnessed the deed for John Anthony's purchase of land on Stones River (Ref. 37). Matthew received a black mare and a colt in his father's will (Ref. 19). In 1820 and 1830 Matthew headed a household in Rutherford County, Tenn. He died in 1832 (Re f . 5 6 ) , and Nancy was head of the household in 1840. A census matrix (Ref. 22) suggests that Matthew and Nancy had at least three sons and three daughters born between 1810 and 1820. Their children have not been identified by name. Nancy died during the 1840s (Ref. 56). She probably was buried with Matthew in Rutherford County, but the site of their graves is unknown.


SION HUNT
SIXTH GENERATION
Sion Hunt, son of Mary Rackley and James Hunt, was born in present-day Franklin County, N.C., on 30 September 1773. He became an early settler in Tennessee and was in Davidson County by October 1797 (Ref. 37). Sion was a witness when his brother Matthew purchased land on the Stones River in 1801 (Ref. 37). Sion married Rebecca Durham (Ref. 22), or Dunham (Ref. 38). Their marriage bond was posted on 11 February 1801 in Davidson County,
Tenn. (Ref. 38). Sion was an executor of his father's will, which left him the sum of $1 (Ref. 19). Sion's will was recorded in 1851 in Robertson County, Tenn. (Re f . 36) . No record is available for the children of Rebecca and Sion Hunt.


JUDITH HUNT
SIXTH GENERATION
Judith (Judy) Hunt, daughter of Mary Rackley and James Hunt, was born 9 August 1777 in present-day Franklin County, N.C. Judith and Abner Gupton obtained a marriage bond in Franklin County on 30 August 1796 (Ref. 23). The bondsman was James Hunt, and the witness was Green Hill Jr. A son of James Gupton and Sarah H. Foster (Ref. 24), Abner was born in North Carolina in 1761. Serving in the Continental Line during the American Revolution, he was wounded while fighting in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse on 15 March 1781 (Ref. 39).
On 29 December 1807, Abner sold his land in Franklin County to Michael Eley (Ref. 39). In 1808 he, Judy, and their four children moved to Tennessee, where three more children were born. The Guptons settled in a portion of Montgomery County that later fell into Cheatham County (Ref.
39). On 21 July 1808 Abner purchased 300 acres of land on Half Pone Creek at the mouth of the Raccoon Fork (Ref. 39). On 4 September 1808, he added 320 acres to his holdings (Ref. 39). Known as Gupton's Cross Roads in the early years, the settlement was renamed "Henrietta" sometime prior to the 1860 census. According to family tradition the new name was chosen because of Ab's granddaughter, Henrietta Gupton Duke, daughter of Robert Thomas
Gupton (Ref. 39). Henrietta was born in 1851, and the settlement bore the name Henrietta at the time of the 1860 census. "Judah Guffton" was mentioned in her father's will which left her $1 (Ref. 19) Judith died on 14 April 1841 (Re f . 2 0 , 3 9) . On 5 October 1841, Abner married Martha A. Ward Power, widow of Samuel D. Power (Ref. 20,39). Martha and Samuel's daughter, Martha Henrietta, married Abner and Judith's son Robert (Ref. 20,39). Abner died 20 August 1859. He and Judith are buried in the Ab Gupton Cemetery, also known as the Gupton Old Quarter Cemetery, 1.8 miles southeast of Mount Herman Bapt1stChurch in Cheatham County (Ref. 20). [Information on Abner and Judith Hunt Gupton was adapted from the writings of Edna Zornes Cabler (Re f . 39) and the genealogical records of Tess Elliott (Ref. 25).

JOHN HUNT SIXTH GENERATION
John Hunt, youngest child of Mary Rackley and James Hunt, was born 24 May 1781 in Franklin County, N.C. He moved to Robertson County, Tenn., with his parents and became an executor of his father's estate (Ref. 19). John received a 540-acre portion of the homeplace, a Negro, a mare, a gun, one bed and furniture, all plantation tools, and all that was left to the widow. John was taxable in Robertson County in 1812 (Ref. 53). John apparently did not marry until he was nearly 40 years old. His wife, Elizabeth Bryant, was born about 1801 (Ref. 27). Census data for 1820 through 1850 indicate that John and Elizabeth may have had as many as eight children. At the time of the 1820 census, John had four females in his household: one born prior to 1775 (probably his mother), two born 1794 to 1804, and one born 1804 to 1810 (Ref. 22). The young women were either the children of an unknown first wife or, more likely, Elizabeth and two of her sisters. By 1830 John and Elizabeth had two sons and three daughters, unless one or more of the children belonged to the second adult female in their household. The male born 1750 to 1760 probably was John's older brother, Henry. At the time of the 1850 census, the couple had three children still living at home: ELIZABETH, b. 1832, NARCTSSY C., b. 1833, and JAMES V. (= B.) HUNT, b. 1836. John apparently died prior to the 1860 census (Ref. 40), for Elizabeth headed her own household in Cheatam County, Tenn., in 1860 (Ref. 50). Living with her were James B. Hunt, 24, and a 63-year-old female, N. P. Bryan(t), apparently the same person as the Nancy L. Bryan(t) who was living with John and Elizabeth in 1850, and presumably Elizabeth's unmarried sister.

28. Testimony of Harold E. Schertner, Minneapolis, Minn. He adds: Philip
Russell was born in Virginia, somewhere between Richmond and Petersburg, on 14 November 1765. At age 15 he fought with the Virginia Continentals under Gen. Greene in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse [N.C.]. Philip was also present when Lord
Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown. Philip's father also served with the Virginia Continentals and was present on both occasions, though father and son did not see one another.
Philip married Elizabeth Stewart in Virginia in 1792. She was born in Scotland in 1771 and came to America at the age of 18. The couple moved to Montgomery County, Tenn. Elizabeth died and Philip remarried; the widow who claimed his Revolutionary War pension was named Mary. Philip died on 17 August 1842 and is buried in the Wilson Cemetery, just west of Cambria, Williamson County, ILL. Many of Philip and Elizabeth's descendants are buried in the Russell Cemetery, just east of Russell Corners.
