Note

[Lorrain Leckliter] I entered a lot of people into Wikitree from Maud Russell's research (Siner/St.Clair's). I felt she should have credit for all her pre-computer (1937) work. I have not verified her data but felt compelled to include it so others could find their family members here and use it as a clue/reference point to start their own research.

Maud Russell 1937: “Compiled and drawn by Maud Russell, McAlester, Oklahoma (1937) from bible records and other records, remembrances of older relatives, county records, History of Sullivan and Green Counties, Indiana, by Professor John W. Spencer (1887). Information furnished by many relatives, notably, Miss Gay Edna Calvert.”

Mary L. Pickrell, March 1979: “This information was taken from a chart on file at the Vigo County Library, Terre Haute, Indiana.”

“ The information was compiled and the chart drawn by Maud Russell, McAlester, Oklahoma, 1931, from bible and other private records, county records, and the Pound Genealogy as to some dates.”

“Also on file at the Vigo County Library is a chart on the St.Clair family which was also prepared by Maud Russell. In comparing the Fanny/Siner/Eli St.Clair section, a few discrepancies were found.”
