I have that James Russell born about 1780 in Ireland came with his family (his father's name was John) to Pennsylvania about 1793 and James settled in Clinton County (Wilmington) Ohio just before 1805 when John Russell was born. John had a son - Samuel who was born there about 1835. John married Susannah Wickersham and moved the family to Delaware County, Indiana about 1844.
