Elizabeth Henry Campbell Russell (1749 – March 18, 1825), was a Methodist lay leader from the United States of America who is credited with bringing Methodism to western Virginia and northeastern Tennessee.
They lived at Aspenvale, near Seven Mile Ford, Virginia[2] In 1788 Russell moved to Saltville with William, where they carried on the manufacture of salt.
After William's death in 1793, Russell spent the remainder of her life fostering Methodism in southwestern Virginia and northeastern Tennessee.
That church, Madam Russell Memorial United Methodist Church, stands today as a monument to Mrs. Russell, the region's earliest religious leader, and to the pioneer Methodist Movement in the Holston Territory of Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee.
In present day Saltville, there now stands a beautiful stone building named 'Madam Russell Methodist Church.'
