He was a mariner in 1860 census of Baltimore; a fisherman in 1870 census of Annapolis. He was in Civil War 1861-65 with Co."A", 1st Reg't. MD. Inf. Volenteers. Rev. Henry Furlong of the M.E. Church Baltimore Annual Conferece married them in Caroline's parents' (John & Pheobe BROWN) home. Believe Rev. Furlong was retired from the minstry at by 1858. Their children were: John T. RUSSELL b. 7 Jun 1859 Baltimore; Elijah J. RUSSELL b. 12 Feb 1866 who became a physican in Baltimore; Allen Travers RUSSELL b. 26 Dec 1867 Annapolis who moved to IL., m. in 1893 there but divorced and moved back to MD. & remarried, was in Denton, MD. with new wife & child in 1920 census, Allen was a civil engineer.

Looking for any information at all on my gg-grandfather, Elijah James RUSSELL. He was born about 1832 in Penn. per the 1860 census of Baltimore. He was a Civil War Vet. He married Caroline Brown on 4 Aug 1858 in Baltimore. He died 4 Oct 1872. They had 4 children; John T.(b. 7 jun 1859), Elijah J. (b. 12 Feb 1866), Allen T.

The RUSSELL's lived in Baltimore in 1860 with her parents. Both Elijah James RUSSELL and John BROWN were "mariners" then. The RUSSELL's were living in Annapolis in the 1870 census and his occupation was "fisherman". The RUSSEL's were still living with the BROWN's in 1870, but Caroline's father, John BROWN, was not listed (believe he may have died). Caroline never re-married after Elijah James (he may have gone by just James) died. I have copies of his pension files. Please forward any info on either of these RUSSELL's or BROWN's.

His son, JOHN TRUNDLE, Jr. said to have been b.1687, baptised 1699, St. James Parish. These dates don't seem to fit. If John Trundle was one of the original settlers of A.A.
