Alexander (or James?) Russell or Russel working at Gordon 1807

Does anyone have any information about [/b]ALEXANDER RUSSELL OR RUSSEL[b] especially birth, marriage or death dates/places?
All I know is he was working on a farm at Greenknowe, Gordon in or around 1807 when his son [/b]ADAM RUSSELL OR RUSSEL[b] was born.

Anything at all connected would be appreciated.

I beleive Greenknowe was owned by the Lyals  -  the sister of an ancestor married into the family in the 1840s.  Greenknowe is near Greenlaw - and I have a memory of an ancient tower on the land (long time since I was there, as a tourist!).  Robert Lyal (my "aunt"'s husband ) was the son of William Lyal who was probably a contemporary of your Russell, but I have no direct information.
