Surnames: Russell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/oZEBAIB/2640.3013 Message Board Post: I descend from a Sylvanus Russell B. Abt. 1807/1808 in MASS. I think his family line is as follows: William Russell married Ruth Sherman 23 Sep. 1800 Children: Sylvanus Patience Rhobe The Sylvanus Russell I descend from moved to Beallesville, Monroe, Ohio. He shows up on the 1840/1850 census there. He married Julia Ann Lawrence B. abt. 1811 PA on 21 Feb 1839 in Monroe, Ohio. I believe they were Quakers, not sure. Sylvanus was a Potter by trade. Does anyone else fit into this line? or maybe have come across some research?
