Elizabeth Jemima Russell, known as Jemima was born about 1791 in Virginia, United States to John Russell (1743-1822) and Patience Hannah Rankin (sometimes surname used for her is Piles) (1773-1852). She was the first of eight children in this marriage. Her father's first marriage to Susannah Day (1749-1794) resulted in four known children.
If Elizabeth's birth year (1791) is correct and the marriage dates of her father's two marriages are correct, then Elizabeth's mother is Susannah Day rather than Patience Rankin.
Jemima married Benjamin J. Roebuck (1784-1842) on 6 July 1807 in Ross County, Ohio.[1]
Jemima died on 1 September 1851 in Mercer County, Ohio, United States at the age of 60 according to the cemetery record. She was buried in the Roebuck Cemetery, Rockford, Mercer, Ohio.[2]
Elizabeth was born in 1791. She was the daughter of John Russell and Susannah Day. She passed away in 1851.
