I've been in touch with Joseph T., who says he has retired from the genealogy field but is still interested in my results, and with Sandy Massie, who is very willing to help and also wants to see my paper chart. I will be glad to send you a copy too, if you will provide a land postal address.

My Below great-grandmother claimed that Ann's father fought at the Battle of Pt Pleasant and in the War of Independence and in skirmishes with Indians in Ohio afterwards. He could be one of the recognized "John Russells" and it would only be necessary to discover the connection.

> Your Gough genealogy enabled me to identify AT ONCE a small pencil letter preserved by my Below great-grandmother. It's a letter of condolence by Calistus H. Gough to his sister Elizabeth Jane regarding the recent death of their mother (i.e., Ann(e) Russell Gough). It was written from POW camp in Indianapolis. So I am going to say that her date of death must be ca. 1865. So here is my first contribution to genealogical science. I assume that the old Ann Russell info came from the census.

I'm wondering whether you have found the graves of the sons of Gough brothers who went to Union County, and whether a headstone or Isadore Gough, if it has not crumbled into the earth, might provide information of Ann Russell.
