The Decendants of
JOHN RUSSELL
1597-1680
John Russell was baptized
(born) in Crittingham, Suffolk, England in 1597. He came to America
in 1627 with his wife Phebe Collins and one year old son, John. He came
with a religous group aboard the sailing ship "The Defence" settling originally
in Cambridge MA. His decendants stayed mainly in the MA - CT area,
although some did migrate to other areas of the country. My line
migrated to Chattanooga, TN ca. 1889. John's grandson, Samuel Russell
is listed as one of the founders of what is now Yale University.
