HENLEY RUSSELL, youngest son of Gen. William and
Tabitha Adams Russell, was born at their home on Clinch River, in 1774. In 1795 he emigrated to Kentucky, and settled upon land inherited from his father in Logan county, which included the site of Russellville, where he lived for many years. He served in the war of 1812, and was at the battle of the River Raisin. He was never married. Towards the latter part of his life he resided with his sister, Mrs. Saunders, in Sumner county, Tenn., where he died in 1839, aged sixty-five years.
