In trying to resolve the 2 Elizabeth wives of Barton Warren Stone (Russell-4255, Campbell-1775) I believe that, as her bio states, she was the daughter of William and Tabitha Russell Campbell and not the daughter of Washington Russell and Tabitha Adams Russell but was their granddaughter. Can you help sort this all out? Thanks
