Location on 25 June 1876: Powder River DepotNo one matching Jacob Doll’s personal details has been identified as being born anywhere in the United Kingdom. Also, there is no village, town or city in England with the name of ‘Russel.’  Was he born in ‘Russel’s Green, Suffolk,’ ‘Russell Green, Sussex,’ ‘Russell Town, Bristol,’ or ‘Kingston Russell, Dorset.’?  Did he mean ‘Rushall,’ (some pronounce ‘Rus-al) in Herefordshire, Norfolk, Wiltshire and Walsall?  Or was it none of these places!

We know he had brown eyes, black hair, a fair complexion, was 5′ 7″ tall, previous occupation, a baker. Doll deserted from Fort Abraham Lincoln 19 November 1877 and was never apprehended.
