I have traced my family to Carter Co around 1780s to 1820s., back to an Isaac Russell with three sons: Thomas, Isaac Jr and Abraham. He owned a lot of property from the Laurel fork of the Doe River to and including Dennis Cove. There are amny early Russells in Carter that I have not yet connected to my family, but I'm sure they are.

I would like to hear from anyone reseraching the Russell surname in Carter County. Perhaps we can find that missing piece to connect our families together.

Other Surnames connected: Beavers, Long, Simerly, Hall
Possibly connected: Edens, Lacy, Metlock
