Ginni, I am so sorry for posting bad info. I was reading from one computer to another and was on the wrong page. Elizabeth "Peggy" Russell who married Benjamin West WAS NOT Robert Russell's dau., she was his sister and they both were the children of George Russell and Sarah (Bonwell). Parker West was the son of Peggy (Russell) and Benjamin West. I am so sorry to you and to others who may have read the previous post.
