Notes:

Simon moved to New Sharon, Franklin Co., ME, where his Uncle John and Betsey Moody Bean settled and next door to Industry in Franklin Co., where his Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Sarah Moody Goodridge settled. It is also where his maternal grandparents Samuel and Hannah Severance Moody had moved in 1797.

The Beans and Moodys were pioneer families in Franklin Co. In 1781, the first settlers arrived, the same year a sawmill was established. On February 1, 1794, Sandy River Plantation was incorporated as Farmington. Beginning with a cluster of log houses at Farmington Falls, the town grew quickly and prospered. Agriculture was an important early occupation, with hay a principal product. Orchards yielded apples and other fruit. Farmington became one of the largest wool producing towns in New England, with many herds of sheep grazing the foothills of the Appalachians.

The area's water power attracted industry, including five lumber mills, three gristmills, a spool factory and a tannery.[An important element in Simon's profession as a cordwainer, shoemaker who makes leather shoes, may also do repair work as a cobbler as well

Simon was of New Sharon when he filed marriage intentions to Polly Bailey in Farmington January 22, 1807 Simon Russell, cordwainer of New Sharon, left records of real estate transactions between December 27, 1807 and March 27, 1809. The history of Farmington, Maine notes that Polly Bailey was born on May 7, 1788, the daughter of Eliphalet and Rebecca Perham Bailey, that she married Simon Russell, had 12 children and removed to Ohio.

In 1812 Simon lived at Boyle, NY on property adjoining Jonathan Russell. Simon remained in Monroe Co., NY, (at that time Ontario, Co.) for about 8 years before moving to Ohio. An excerpt from Fulton Co. Ohio History states that Simon and his wife, Polly (Bailey) Russell, were originally from Maine, that they settled in Monroe County, New York, within the Lake County, being pioneers of that section of the state.

Simon placed advertisements in the Painesville (Ohio) Telegraph announcing his boot and shoemaking business, consistent with his identification as a cordwainer in Maine. [Note from Cheryl Tate Duke: It is interesting that his profession follows through other branches of the family. Simon's nephew Warren Russell, son of Clement, who established the Virginia Russells, was involved in shoemaking and tanneries. Warren learned the trade from his older brother, Benjamin, who migrated to PA and eventually to MD.]

The Fulton Co. History notes 8 children, including a son Benjamin, who was born in the city of Rochester, NY on 9 March 1818. Found in census of Leroy, Ohio in 1830. age between 40 and 50. (birth year 1780-1790). He died intestate in Lake Co., Ohio, estate administrated 1848.
