Then there's this one, which suggests the connection: McAllister, Addams S. The Descendants of John Thomson, Pioneer Scotch Covenanter : genealogical notes on all known descendants of John Thomson, covenanter, of Scotland, Ireland and Pennsylvania, with such biographical sketches as could be obtained from availble published records, or were supplied by the friends of those individuals who were too modest to tell of their own accomplishments. Easton, Pa.: Chemical Pub. Co., printers, 1917 It says that the wife of David Russell was the daughter of Wm. and Mary (Stevens) GREENWAY who came to America from Scotland and lived at Greenway Manor, VA. [This David Russell was son of Richard Russell, who left Holland in 1732 and settled in PA.] It in turn refers the reader to "Family Records compiled for the descendants of I. W. and S. E. Russell" by J. Gray McAllister.
