Shields

I have a Shields ancestor from Hardin County Tennesee that I am trying to trace.I can't find any information on siblings or parents,but his war record states that he was born in Spartaburg, SC.This is the only definitive record I have for him.No one in the family can tell me if they know of siblings, etc.
His birth date is 1822 which would have been the right period.His name was Marion Vincent Russell married to a Catherine Bourland (no marriage information).He migrated in the 1870's to Texas and the family has been here since then.
