On 1 December 1726, "William Russell of Hampton, maltster," sold "all of my now dwelling house and malthouse barn and 14 acres near Gougos wigwam, (NH Province Deeds, 15:432) possibly in preparation for a move to Providence, Rhode Island.

William filed an Eastern claim to Scarboro property on behalf of his wife, Sarah, and her siblings. (Rockingham Co., NH deed 10: 388) The deed indicates that William was "of Providence, Rhode Island" in 1728, but he was back in Hampton by April of 1737 when he sold property in Salisbury. (Rockingham Co., NH deed 73:250)

A deed shows that William was "of Providence, Rhode Island" by 1 May 1728 when he sold to John Hardy of Hampton by 9 November 1736 when his daughter, "Mary of William, late of Providence but now of Hampton, New Hampshire," married Jeremiah Brown in Providence. (James N. Arnold, Vital Records of RI, 1630-1850, 21 vols, 2: Providence, 25, citing Providence Marriages, 1:78.).

His place and date of death would have been in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire prior to 6 Nov 1761 when his estate was administered by his son David Russell, of Johnston, RI,

The inventory, valued at 712 pounds 7 shillings, included property valued at 30 pounds "in the hands of Anna French, Mercy Hoag, and Sarah Elkins, 10 pounfd each." who may be daughters of William Russell. In support of this is the fact that William's son David Russell of Johnston, RI, husbandman, and Nathaniel French and Elijah Hoag, both of Epping, yeomen, were appointed sureties in the sum 500 pounds. Given the deeds signed by Joseph Russell, and his sister, Mary (Russell) Brown for the Long family property, it appears that they were the only surviving children of William and his first wife, Sarah (Long) Russell. William's other children were likely from his second marriage to Elizabeth(Chase) Russell.

William was back in Hampton by 9 November 1736 when his daughter, Mary, married Jeremiah Brown in Providence. Mary Russell Brown seems to be the ongoing link to Rhode Island. Joseph never owned property in Rhode Island, but may have gone there for a time after his sister Mary married. She appears to have remained in RI where her husband's family was established. Jeremiah Brown had a brother, Gideon in Johnston, and John in Providence who were involved in land transactions involving Jeremiah and Mary (Russell) Brown recorded in 1758, 1769, and 1781. David Russell was still in Johnston, Rhode Island, when he administered the estate of his father in 1761, but later returned to NH (Richmond), where 8 children were born, before moving to Seneca Co., NY
