GUEST,Annraoi	Review: The Man From God Knows Where (Tom Russell) (23)	RE: 'The Man From God Knows Where'	02 Jul 00
Joe, Am I right in thinking that Tom Russell makes some sort of claim to be a descendant - direct or otherwise - of the Thomas Russell ? If so, then everyone on this side of the Atlantic would be delighted to know of it. The Templemore, of Tom Russell's ancestors, is in Co. Offaly, not in Co. Cork where the Thomas Russell originally hailed from. One last point, he did not die in 1798, but in the early 18oo's. I'm writing from memory here, so I am loth to hazard a precise year, but I think he was hanged outside Downpatrick gaol in 1803. His was the last public hanging n Ireland. Annraoi
