Mary Ann Herrington b abt 1818 NY d 1883 in Renssalaer NY, m William Russell b abt 18187 MA. This is information from Mary's cemetery listing. The following family is found in Pittstown on 1860 census: William Russell b abt 1818 MA Mary A b abt 1818 NY Children: Joel H b abt 1841 NY Charles W b abt 1844 NY (Washington Co, NY by 1880) Martha b abt 1846 NY Willard b abt 1848 NY Howard b abt 1858 NY Julia Stearns b abt 1837 NY is listed as a domestic Interesting that there is also a John Russell b abt 1855 living 2 houses away from William and Mary Ann with the family of Erastus Stearns. In 1870 Mary Ann is living with Willard E and Howard. William is not present in this family. >From the cemetery database on the Rensselaer Co site of the nygenweb, Mary Ann Herrington is listed as the daughter of Joseph Herrington and Zeriah Hix b abt 1780 d 1867. In 1860 Zeriah Herrington is living with family of Norman Herrington in Hoosick, Rensselaer Co NY. I am interested in the Hix,Hicks connection, but hope this helps some of you Russell researchers.
