The man you name as "Henderson Wilshire Russ" is misspelled (or also found as follows): Aaron RUSS married Jemima Davis; their son Henderson Wiltshire RUSS married Martha Elizabeth WAKELAND. He died March 28, 1898, in Winslow, Pike County, Indiana. Please note that he was also listed as "H. W. Russ." He enlisted into the Union Army, and participated in the Battle of Shiloh.
Aaron RUSS and Jemima Davis had other children, including son Hezekiah RUSS. In 1850, Henderson RUSS was living with his older brother, Hezekiah RUSS in Ohio County, Kentucky, as well his mother, Jemima DAVIS. Jemima married Solomon (Soloman) DAVIS in 1829, in Ohio County, KY, hence her "DAVIS" surname in the 1850 census. She was the daughter of Ludowick DAVIS, a minister in that region whose name is listed as performing marriages in the county. His first name has many variations for spelling.
-Does anyone have any more information regarding Aaron's parents and background? Thank you.
If my findings have been helpful, then I have done a good genealogical turn. In return, please cite my work as your source. Thank you, and happy hunting!
