Pvt. Russell G Webster (1845 - 1915) 106th NYV and “Holiness Movement” lineage of Revs.

Question

Hi Wikitreers,

We have Pvt Russell G. Webster who is a fascinating veteran of the 106th New York Infantry Regiment Company H. “wounded in action, April 2, 1865, at the fall of Petersburg, Va.” the Third Battle of Petersburg. 

He was married 3 times per his obit and was the son of Reverend Emerson Webster (abt. 1808 - 1863) and Anna (Russell) Webster (abt. 1818 - abt. 1896)

A very fascinating family genealogy as his father was a reverend and his son Reverend Frances Raymond Webster (1883 - 1940) who was part of the Holiness Movement. I’m not sure if Russell was a Reverend?

He had a sister who is very intriguing as well a Miss Amelia Webster (1859 - 1938, “who had for many years been a capable nurse in South Africa and various parts of North America”. see her FindAGrave

I would like to have collaboration in adding his family profiles but also categorizing this family. Who were the 3 wives? Who was the mother of the children as we know who the father was.

Any collaboration is appreciated

Thank you
