SPRADLEY family in SC and AL, 1735-now

Caroline Spradley(b1836)and John Russell were my great-great-grandparents.Their son, Alonzo Russell, married Mary Frances Mothershed--they were my great grandparents.
Thella Russell, their daughter, married John Ellis--they are my grandparents.All of the above lived within a 50 mile radius of Montgomery, Alabama, mostly Crenshaw County. I am very much 'into' geneology, but have been devoting most of my time until recently to my father's side of the family because I had a lot of information.I have been researching my mother's family only three or four months--This information is very helpful--do you have more?!My father was very interested in family history and was always telling tales about family and times past.My husband and I now own the family homeplace and farm in Alabama; it is presently planted in pines.My mother seldom ever talked about her family beyond the immediate.Alonzo Russell lived to be quite elderly and I remember him vividly.I'd like very much to hear from you; we've got to be cousins!I enjoyed your home page.Regards.Mary Ann
