 Includes NotesNotes for Peter Quintin Russell:
Peter Quinron Russell was a surveyor and homesteaded or purchased a section of land in Collin County. In and and around Clear Lake , Texas. is now under Lake Lavon. Unknown date at this time. At his death the land was divided amoung his children. When my father, EA Russell was in his teens, my Grandfather Robert John Russell sold his land to his siblings and moved west and bought land. He later lost this land and moved back to Collin County and became a rent farmer as was my father.

Peter Q Russell & Alice Mary Grace were married in Cooke County, Texas on Feb 4, 1869. I have a copy of the certificate. However
the Cooke County records show a Peter I Russell & Almary Grace were married on that date. I can see by the copy of the certificate how this mistake was made. The same mistake was made on the 1870 census.
