    • Britt9.pdf Lumbee Tribal Rolls

      RUSSEL(L) The name Russell, apparently Lumbee, appears on Bladen tax
      lists of 1761, 1768, and 1769. Wm. Russell patented 130 acres east of
      Saddletree Swamp 20 Oct. 176l. Thomas Russell lived on five Mile Branch
      of Saddleltree Swamp in 1773 (Bladen County Deeds, 1738-1779, 419-420).
      Thomas Russle and Thomas Ivy sold land they jointly patented on
      Saddletree Swamp to Phillip Blount 27 Sept. 1787 (Deed Book A, 147-149).
      Thomas Russell lived near Thomas Butcher adjacent to a grant made to
      Augustin Willis 26 Nov. 1789 on Wilson's Great Branch (Deed Book B,
      102). There were several land dealings with other Lumbees such as the sale
      of 100 acres by Major Russell to Edmond Revel 12 June 1790 for land east
      of Drounding creek and northeast of Jacob Swamp (Deed Book B, 185-186)
      adjacent to a 200 acre tract patented by Thomas Russell. There was a Joseph
      Russell who witnessed a deed in Robeson 13 Nov. 1792 (Deed Book C, 303-
      304). The names James, Sampson, Thomas and William Russell appeared on
      Robeson deed records up to 1800 and later. The surname does not appear in
      the 1850 census of Robeson.
