Russell Smith Munson's Wives

According to The Munson record : a genealogical and biographical account of Captain Thomas Munson (a pioneer of Hartford and New Haven) and His Descendants, Russell Smith Munson--son of Charles P Munson and Urania C Case--was married 4 times. The record lists 3 of his wives: 1 Sarah Jackson. 2 Eliza Green. 4 Lizzie W Kittridge. 
I have found no record of Eliza Green or the third wife, so I would like to confirm those and find out if he had children with any of his wives, aside from Kittridge Ford Munson, son of Lizzie.

Orrin E Walker's Ancestors

One of my ancestor's descendants is Abbie Eliza Munson. According to her headstone, she was married to Orrin E Walker. Since Orrin's ancestors aren't my ancestors, I don't plan to research his line. But in case anyone is looking for more information on him, someone posted some really detailed research on findagrave.com.
Orrin E Walker (1857-1926) was the son of Gilbert Eno Walker (1831-1872). Also in the Mount Hope Cemetery of Belchertown, Massachusetts, are Gilbert's parents Orin and Mary and Gilbert's siblings Mary Rebecca, Edson Montague, James Orrin, and Alva Sikes. Several of these siblings have more information of their parents and children on their own findagrave memorial pages.
