Alexander Russell, was listed as a trustee of the
Russellville Academy by the General Assembly of Georgia
in 1837 and in all probability was the one for whom
Russellville was named.  He lived about a half mile up
the road to Barnesville from Russellville.  Sister
Precious Russell might have been the wife of Alexander
Russell.   This information is taken from the
Sesquicentennial book published in 1973.


It's odd to me that I can't find any burials for
Russells in Monroe County. Is there a family cemetery
somewhere that I missed?  Guess they moved on.


I notice also that a John Russell was in the Godfreys
Dist., of Bibb Co. on the 1840 census.  One Alexander
was in the 2nd Ward of Bibb County in 1840. (  If they
were the same ones?)
