Russell County was formed on 1 May 1786 from the northern portion of Washington County. It was named for General
William Russell, a pioneer of the region and Revolutionary soldier. In 1792 Lee County was cut off from the western part
of Russell. In 1800 a portion of Russell was taken to form part of Tazewell County, and again in 1807 and 1835 land was
given to Tazewell County. Scott County's creation in 1814 removed another parcel of Russell territory. In 1856, 1858,
and 1880 land was taken to form all or part of Wise, Buchanan, and Dickenson counties, respectively. Some of the county's
records, notably a deed book and a marriage record book, were destroyed along with miscellaneous court papers, in a fire
which burned a large portion of the center of Lebanon, including the courthouse, in 1872.
This Law Order Book is a transcription of clerk's notes of the court proceedings. As such, they give detailed information
on individuals brought before the court, of jury decisions, and court justice's orders for county maintenance.
This Death Index is a transcription of county death records, input into a spreadsheet, sorted by year and last name,
then converted to a PDF file.
Legibility of census records varies, depending on handwriting of census taker, quality of ink used, paper damage
over the years, quality of the scanning process.
Different from transcribed census records, these contain all information collected by the census taker.
These also give a sense of relatives and neighbors living nearby.
