Hi all, I thought I had posted this before, but I'll send it again. I've
gotten more proof since the last post.
The George Chamblee family that D'Ann wrote about from the 1880 Nevada
County, Arkansas census is the son of Jarrett Russell. This is my direct
line. I intend to post the complete tree to the web site when I can find the
time.
George Washington Chamlee born March 16, 1845 and died September 6, 1902. He
married Irene Sarah Bearden around 1865. She was born January 8, 1849 and
died November 24, 1926. I have located this family on the 1880, 1900 and
Sarah on the 1920 census. Still looking for her on the 1910. Sarah died
from cancer of the face and jaw. These are their children:

1955 m. James Marin Wrider October 25, 1885 in Nevada County. They had 3

George E. b. December 14, 1878 in LA d. March 28, 1969. He married Ether
McCants on December 17, 1899. She was b. June 27, 1885 and D. June 23, 1948.

Imogene and Irene.
Carrie b. August 1885. She married Tom Thompkins. They had 5 kids: Viola,
Dovie, Athel, Gladys, Leola. (I just found out about Carrie a couple of
weeks ago. Still searching for info on her)
I think that this will fill in quite a few blanks about the marriages in
Arkansas and the question of who George is. I can probably fill in a few
blanks about some of Jarrett Russell's descendants too. If anyone is
interested. George and Jarrett Russell were brothers. Also, George's
brother, Enoch married Sarah's sister, Nancy V. Bearden. This is Nell's
line. If anyone has info on the Bearden's, please contact me.
