James Russell, mar Aleathy Carpenter, middle initial of James should be F not M.  (People keep 
on picking up the M due to early erroneous info from transcriptions.) 

   Re: James F...it's long been believed that his middle name was Franklin and that's been 
handed down through various family records and given to subsequent males.  When I received his 
estate papers from Lincoln Co. Clerk's Office, it definitely was noted several times as "James 
F. Russell."  The handwriting was clear in both documents.
