My name is Jesse L. Russell II. I live in Clarke Co. where most of my ancestor's lived. I am currently retired and continue to do some family research. If any of you belong to Ancestry you are welcome to see my tree "Russell Family" administered by Jesse Russell. You will find photos, wills, stories and other documents that may help you in your Russell search. My 3rd ggf was John Russell Crafton (1772-1848). His eldest son Bennett Russell and his siblings dropped the Crafton name. JRC's father was Maj. Bennett Crafton b. abt. 1730 King Wm. Co. Va. His wife was Elizabeth Russell, thus the middle name for JRC. Eliz. Russell's father was John Russell b. abt. 1705-15 in KW co. who married Jane Quarles, dau. of Col. James Quarles of King Wm.
