The Riverus Russell in my line, son of Nicholas Russell, Jr and Mary Ann (Leverett) Russell, seems to have left Connecticut for New York shortly after 1800. However, after his mother's death (around 1756), his father married Mary Perkins, and they had children, including the following sons: Elmore Russell, b. 14 Feb 1761; Aaron Russell, b. 27 Jan 1766; Moses Perkins Russell, b. 7 Aug 1768, d. before 1773; Moses Russell, b. 18 Oct 1773; and John Russell, b. 7 Sep 1775. They very likely could have remained in the Cheshire area and had children. Sorry, I have no further info on those branches of the family. -Jim
