Surname: 
-------------------------

This is not my line but found the following info in a book I have, The
1800 Census of Pendleton Dist., SC, pub. by the National Genealogical Society,
a special publication.

On page 43:
Matthew RUSSELL living in residence 308. Numbers as follows:
01101-10101-00
This would indicate that Matthew and his spouse were both born bef. 1755
as they are over 45 yrs. in 1800. There is one dau younger than 10 yrs.
which may also indicate that the mother was not much older than 45.
Other RUSSELL's listed in the 1800 Census are:
George
Harriet
John
Mary
Thomas
Thomas C.
Thomas Commander
This book is an annotated census and gives other info that is sometimes
very helpful. On p. 51, John RUSSELL is listed as 00010-10100-00. Under
his name is this note: "There may have been several RUSSELL families in
Pendleton of this period. Thomas Commander RUSSELL was granted 200 ac.
on Coneross Creek in this area 16 Jul 1784. he moved to Wilkes Co., GA,
by 17 Apr 1787, when he purchased land on Broad River adj. to Benj. RAGLAND,
and he and his wf. Mary were living in Lincoln Co., GA, 4 Feb 1799 when
they sold the Coneross Creek land to Hosea TAPLEY of Pendleton with Harriet
RUSSELL & John TAPLEY as wit."
Don't know that this will help, but I hope it will!
Godspeed...
