Hello out there in Polk County!!!!!!!!!

Is there anyone in that could do look-up for me in Polk Co?

Elijah Samuel Russell b. 1835-1836 Franklin Co Tn d. abt Nov 1861
married to Mary J Buttram Jan 1859 Sevier Co Ar b. 1839-1841 Ar or Tx
d. abt 1917

This family is listed twice in the Polk Co 1860 census:

Pg 70 dwg 497 family #486 living with Phillip Jackson family
Elijah age 25 blacksmith
Mary J age 21 [b. 1839 Tx?]

Pg 81 dwg 568 family #557 living with his older brother and family "William
Russell"
Elijah age 25 blacksmith
Mary J age 19 [b. 1841 Ar?]

I have a little data on Elijah but about the time he died while in the CSA
army in the winter of 1861, Mary J Russell gave birth to his son Elijah
Samuel Russell Jr.

Mary J waited about 3 years and married Gerald McDaniel.

My problem is that I don't know the correct spelling for Buttram or whether
she was born in Ar or Tx!

Can anyone shed any light on her for me?

Thanks a lot.
