A Samuel Russell was born in Augusta County, Virginia, and was the son of John Russell and Elizabeth Swink Russell. This Samuel Russell later settled in Campbellsville, Kentucky. In 1810 census Samuel was the only Russell family head listed in Green County, Kentucky. I believe this is the same Samuel Russell who married Rebecca Litman 2 October1804 in Marcer County, Kentucky.

EARLY SETTLEMENTS.
Macomb.—Elias McFadden was the first settler in the vicinity of the present city of Macomb, and came to the place in the fall of 1828, or spring of 1829. He was followed soon after by John Baker, who is elsewhere spoken of in this work. After Mr. Baker, James Clarke, David Clarke, Resin Naylor, Samuel Russell, Wm. Pringle, Samual Bogart, _____ Anderson, and others, forming a very respectable neighborhood. Like other settlers of the county, this community hugged the timber, consequently we now find that all the oldest farms are timbered ones. The settlers were nearly all from Kentucky. In the year 1831, the original number was increased by the coming of James M. Campbell, Moses Hinton, S. H. Robinson and others. Several stores were opened, the tavern sign hung out, and entertainment was provided for man and beast. As we speak elsewhere of this place at considerable length it is needless to say more in this connection.
