    Notes 
    • On 10 March 1802, Jonathan Russell of Stowe, Vermont purchased land from Clement and Daniel Moody, also of Stowe. In February of 1804, however, they were among a group of families directed to depart the town within 8 days. Jonathan sold his property in Stowe (Stowe Deeds 3:41) and removed to western New York, where Jonathan was among the first settlers of Henrietta, New York. Jonathan and Dolly seem to recall their New England roots, and name children Clement, Joseph, Affia, and Moody-as well as Abial, Royal, Maria, and Marietta

      After marrying in ME, Jonathan and Dolly relocated to Stowe, VT. Dolly and Jonathan were said to have bought the land in Stowe from Daniel and Clement Moody believed to be Dolly's brothers. Then Jonathan and Dolly left Stowe, Vermont and settled in Boyle (now part of Henrietta) in 1807 (they had 7 children: Joseph (b. in VT), Affia (b. VT), Clement (b. VT) John Moody, who was the 2nd (white) male born in Henrietta, Abial (who supposedly left Henrietta and was never heard from again), Royal, Marie and Marietta (b. Henrietta).

      Sometime before 1850, Dolly died and Jonathan marries Orpha Hayden. He and Orpha appear on the 1850 census in Webster. Why he moved? I don't know. All three were buried together in the West Brighton Cemetery and they were later moved (with the cemetery) to Mt. Hope Cemetery in Rochester. At the time of his death he was married to a woman named Mary who appears with him on the 1860 census and whom he names in his will. I have no further info on her. There is a short bio on Jonathan in "Northfield on the Genesee - Early Times in Monroe Co., NY" His daughter Marietta married Abel Fenner and they remained in Henrietta until their deaths. John Moody Russell (the 2nd male born in Henrietta) is my GGGGrandfather. He relocated to Kendall, Orleans Co., NY. He married Caroline Carrington and they had 7 children including a daughter the named Mariette.
