Mitchell and Russell
4/6/2008 - I am trying to find out more of my Mitchell fam. from Athens co.Ohio Rome twp. They had their own fam. ran Lumbering business. They worked with another fam that came over to Athens co area to help with the lumbering business which they became in-laws .Cyrus Mitchell married Mazilla Russell while she was there with her folks for the 4 yrs. They married dec. 26,1845 in Rome twp/ stayed there and had a few children then were in Wood co.Va(WVa) in time for my ggrt grandfather to be born jan 22,1863 in Parkesburg. I think both fam. were involved in building the bridge that goes from Ohio to WVa. I have written to different places including the bridge museum but no reply asking if they have names of the people / lumber businesses, etc. but no replies of any kind. I am pretty sure they were because I was watching the history channel and they talked about the bridge but no names were mentioned. But My Russells were there for 4yrs and then went back to Mason co.WVa. and the yrs they were there in Ohio and the time they went back to WVa. is in the same time zone. Both were in the lumber business,The Russells had thier own like strip of land where they did all kinds of wood making ,blacksmithing and cabinetry,and waggons too. In Alegheny co.MD. before 1860 they left there and moved to Va (WVa.)
Then to MO Clay co.  Is there a way you can find out for me about the bridge builders and people who helped.    Please email me at
