Charles A Russell was born in Collinsville on his father's farm. He is the son of John Russell ( 1795-1869) of Collinsville, Alabama and Nancy Russell. He served as the adminstrator of his father's estate in the 1870s.
Near the end of his life in 1914, he made an application for veterans benefits from his service in the civil war, which was denied. His statement of service is attached to this memorial, as he states he joined the CSA in August of 1862 at Lebanon as a private in Company K of the 3rd Confederate Cavalry. He received a wound at some time during the war in the state of Tennessee.
He married Sarah Jane Rogers in Feb of 1856 in DeKalb County and they were the parents of 12 children. After Sarah passed away in 1890, he married Sarah C McDonald on June 28, 1891.
Charles lived north of Collinsville, on a 30 acre tract of land that was part of his father's property. The property was located within the NW quarter of Section 12, T9S, R7E.
The 3rd Confederate Cavalry [aka: 11th Cavalry] was another of Gen'l Wheeler's commands for the greater part of the war. Seven of the companies were Alabamians and included the cavalry battalionn of Major W. N. Estes which merged into the 3rd. The regiment operated around the Army of Tennessee, and was in several battles and raids, and in innumerable skirmishes. These included Murfreesboro, Triune, Hoover's Gap, Chickamauga, Bridgeport, Trenton, McAfee's, and Noonday Creek. The regiment was used repeatedly for picket duty and for scouting and distinguished itself for gallantry and endurance
