Descendants of Matthew Russell and Related Families of Jackson
County, Alabama, depicts the life of Matthew Russell and identifies
his descendants and their related families; some of whom settled in
Jackson County, Alabama. The book is divided into thirteen
independent Parts with each part representing the earliest known
progenitor and lineage of that particular family. Some of the
families identified herein are Allen, Allison, Arnold, Cabe,
Crawford, Davis, Doran, Harwell, Henry, Jenkins, Loyd, Lyda,
McClatchey, McCrary, Millican, Owens, Phillips, Prince, Rorex,
Rudder, Sanders, Smith, Stewart, Talley, Taylor, Thomas, Thornton,
Walker, Wallace, Williams, Wimberly, and Wynne, plus many more. For
continuity purposes spouses are shown in both families and children
are initially identified with their parents; when appropriate
children are further identified within the text. Connections
between various families are shown by cross-references. Collecting
and organizing this vast amount of information and materials
occurred over a period of thirty-five years. It represents the
efforts of many family historians who shared their carefully
preserved memorabilia with the author to assure that memories of
their families would never fade. Many contributors are identified
within the text while others are shown in endnotes. The combined
efforts of everyone involved in this endeavor accumulated more than
eight thousand individually indexed names. Expanded Foreword and
Introduction inserts, hopefully, will enhance the readability of
the work. The Foreword defines and describes the book's
organization and presentation. The Introduction attempts to create
an awareness in the reader of the conditions someimmigrants faced
in their country of origin that probably influenced their decisions
to undertake the arduous ocean voyage to America; it also touches
on various problems they immediately encountered upon arrival and
subsequent settlement. Family units diminish with the passing of
each generation. Genealogy provides a record and link of our
forefathers to those families of the future. Through genealogy
there will always be a record of a family's journey through time.
