LAND RECORDS

Clement witnessed an 1802 deed (York Co. Deed 83:147) and received along with Joseph Russell, both of Waterboro, rights of usage in an Alfred sawmill, 5 Nov 1810 (York Co. Deed 83:148)

Since he witnessed a 12 Jan 1802 grantee deed (York Co. deeds 183:147.) for his father, he would have been at least 21 and most likely born by 1780.

Probably died in Waterboro after 14 Mar 1823 when he signed a conditional deed (York Co. Deed 112:72)

Fred Boyle's Early Families of Shapleigh-Acton, publisher Peter E. Randall, 2000 has the following:

CLEMENT, b. Waterboro, ME 1775-1784, (1810-20 censuses),[ ] son of Joseph and Aphia (Moody) Russell, probably d. Waterboro after 14 Mar 1823 when he signed a conditional deed (York Co.

He witnessed an 1802 deed (York Co. Deed 83:147) and received along with Joseph Russell, both of Waterboro, rights of usage in an Alfred sawmill, 5 Nov 1810 (York Co. Deed 83:148). Census records indicate that Clement and Nancy had at least five boys and two girls. Their son Warren, born 1821, is described as an orphan at an early age.

Notes:

Marriage intentions of Joseph Russell and Apphia Moody filed Sanford, ME 13 April 1776 where the bride was recorded as "Effies" Moody. The marriage record of Joseph Russell to APPHIA MOODY was found in the records of the First Parish Church of Kennebunk.

LAND RECORDS

JOSEPH Russell, Jr. was the Massabesic (Waterborough, Sanford, Alfred areas of Maine) soldier who enlisted in Captain John Smith's Company which reported to Col. Cutts Aug ye 20th 1778 Maine Historical and Gen.Recorder 8 (1895):84 (Massabesick was the old name for Waterboro and N. Alfred)

In 1791, Joseph and Abigail conveyed additional land in Waterborough to their son "Joseph Russell, Junr York Deeds 56:40.

Deed in York Co. Court House, 30 Apr 1793 Abigail Russell of Sanford, ME sold to Joseph Russell of Waterboro, 1 and 1/2 acres of land for 6 pounds.

1816: Nine acres of land in Waterboro by the Shapleigh line conveyed to Joseph Russell by Timothy Pike (York County Deedbook 94:186)

An 1872 map of Alfred shows that the Russell property was located on the narrow northern strip of Alfred that lay between Waterboro and Shapleigh. Lots 31 and 32 were adjacent to the northernmost tip of what would become the town of Alfred and what is now called Alfred Gore. Alfred was a part of the town of Sanford, Maine, until 1794, when it became a separate town. The shape of Alfred was then pointed at the north and even called a "triangle" in early deeds. We know that the Russells owned land in Massabesick "by the highway and land of John Bean," as this land was described in Joseph, Sr. and Abigail's deed to their daughter, Sarah in 1783. (YD, 50:224).

By 4 January 1845, Joshua Russell, a son of Joseph, Jr. and grandson of Joseph, Sr. and Abigail Russell, gathered signatures to a petition to annex his land to the town of Alfred. Basically the petitioners described the difficulties of being citizens of Waterboro, given their location and the lack of roads to the center of Waterboro. The petition requested a new boundary, using part of the middle branch of the Mousam River to separate the towns. The petition was also signed by Mary Russell, the widow of Joshua's brother, David, and four others. It was unsuccessful until the following year the petitioners returned with 47 signatures and in 1847, the new boundary line was established and the Russell homesteads became a part of Alfred. (Research by Edward Cook of Shapleigh and his brother John of Alfred who now in 2004 lives in the original home of Joseph and Abigail Towle Russell),

Mary's father, Joseph Russell would have been turning 45 in 1755 and Aphia, 43. Mary had already married in 1794 and was in the James Bean household in Alfred. It appears possible that by 1810 the elder Joseph had moved to Alfred too and the Joseph Russell in 1810 Waterboro was Mary's brother, since there is no mark for a female over 45 in the Joseph Russell household of 1810.

Notes:

Joseph moved to Maine and may have been a Revolutionary War veteran.

A trio of genealogically informative Rockingham county, New Hampshire deed record not only establish Joseph's parentage and that of his wife, but also place the couple in Providence, Rhode Island 19 May 1753, Epping, New Hampshire 2 February 1763, and Exeter, New Hampshire 29 April 1766 (Rockingham Co., NH deeds 43:442, 34:728, and 84:243 for place locations).

In 1763, Joseph and Abigail Russell, now of Epping, New Hampshire, conveyed their rights to the estate of Richard Long of Salisbury, which fell to "my honored mother, Sarah Russell, wife of William Russell." The deed further states that both Joseph's parents were deceased, that Joseph's mother Sarah was a sister to Richard Long, and that her share was one-quarter of the estate.

By deed, 12 Mar 1764, John Clough of Brentwood, Elisha Clough of Kingston, Joseph Russell of Exeter, and Samuel and Eleanor Welch of Suncook, all of the province of New Hampshire, conveyed to Jonathon Moulton of Hampton, Esq., all their rights in land in Exeter that they had inherited from their uncle Richard Long of Salisbury, deceased

19 April 1777 deed of nearby Rockingham county, New Hampshire, mentions Joseph Russell of Massabesick (Rockingham Co. deeds 109:64).

W.W. Clayton's History of York County, Maine reports that Joseph Russell was one of the first settlers of Massabesick, as the plantation was known before its incorporation as the town of Waterborough in 1787. Clayton also writes, "Prior to 1768 the entire tract was a vast wilderness into which no highways penetrated and which was traversed only along Indian trails and over logging roads, which had been built through various parts of the town by settlers from the Atlantic coast who souht this territory for the magnificent pines and oaks which covered it, for use in shipbuilding at home and for export, a large business enterprise from Portsmouth to Portland. Massabesick Plantation included a portion of northern Alfred, called the Gore. The name came from Massabesick Pond (now Shaker Pond) coming from the name of an Indian chief residing on its western shore. The name Massabesick was confirmed by resolve of the General Court of Massachusetts."

3 Nov 1783, Joseph Russell, "husbandman of Massabesick," conveyed land "in Massabesick by the highway and land of John Bean" to his wife Abigail and Sarah Russell (York Deeds 50: 224)

Joseph Russell was one of 30 signers of the petition of 1785 by the Inhabitants of the Plantation of Massabesick in the county of York who "humbly sheweth that thay Labour under sum Very Great Inconveniances for want of being Incorporated and wish to be Put in a better situation for Doing their Duty wherfore Your Petitioners Earnestly Pray that their Plantation may be incorporated into a Town acording to the Plan herewith Presented to Gether with a gore of Land containing about Eighteen hundred acres Lying between Sanford and Shapleighton and adjoining the aforesaid Plantation and your Petitioners as in Duty Bound will Ever pray &c." And so Waterborough came into being by act of the sitting Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, March 6 1787. It was named in honor of Col. Josiah Waters, one of the early proprietors of Massabesick.

1791, Joseph and Abigail conveyed additional land in Waterborough to their son "Joseph Russell, Junr."[ ] In 1792, Joseph and Abigail conveyed livestock to their (still unmarried) daughter Sarah Russell (York Deeds 56: 304)
