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)

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:

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

Source: Eaton, P. and Boyle, F.R., The American Genealogist, Vol 79, p 145-147
The History of of Monroe County, New York states that in 1807 Jonathan Russell moved in (from Stowe, VT), and built a log house, Jonathan married a total of three times. and died in Webster, NY, age 70, 30 June 1860.

Source: Paula Rigano-Murray----Russell Genforum, November 2, 2002

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.

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:

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.

A soldier in the War of 1812, he is listed as a carpenter of Waterborough. Benjamin served as a private in Captain Densmore's Company in the 33rd Regiment of the United States Infantry.

His son, also called Benjamin, was born two weeks after his death, 11 Sept 1814. His widow, Eunice Warren Russell, and two children lived with her parents, Aaron and Kezia Warren. Aaron applied for a Revolutionary War pension in 1818 (No. 10, 433) in which he noted his daughter, Eunice Russell, age 26, whose husband was killed in the late war, granddaughter Rosamond, age 7, and grandson Benjamin, age 5.

Bladensburg, 17 - 29 August 1814. After the surrender of Napoleon the British dispatched Maj. Gen. Robert Ross from France on 27 June 1814 with 4,000 veterans to raid key points on the American coast. Ross landed at the mouth of the Patuxent River in Maryland with Washington as his objective on 19 August and marched as far as Upper Marlboro (22 August) without meeting resistance. Meanwhile, Brig. Gen. William Winder, in command of the Potomac District, had assembled a mixed force of about 5,000 men near Bladensburg, including militia, regulars, and some 400 sailors from Commodore Joshua Barney's gunboat flotilla, which had been destroyed to avoid capture by the British fleet. In spite of a considerable advantage in numbers and position, the Americans were easily routed by Ross' force. British losses were about 249 killed and wounded; the Americans lost about 100 killed and wounded, and 100 captured. British detachments entered the city and burned the Capitol and other public buildings (24-25 August) in what was later announced as retaliation for the American destruction at York.

Benjamin married Eunice WARREN 4 May 1812, Waterboro, York Co, ME. Eunice (daughter of Aaron WARREN and Keziah HUNTRESS) was born 16 Jun 1794, Shapleigh, York Co. ME; died 08 Apr 1862, Shapleigh, York Co. ME; was buried , Pitts Cemetery, Shapleigh York Co. ME. [Group Sheet]

Jason Blakeslee and Sarah Elizabeth Russell until 1854 lived on a farm near Painesville, Ohio. The family moved to Spring Garden, Illinois. In 1866, they decided to move because the climate in Spring Garden, Illinois was not suitable for some of their family.

Nancy notes "I know why because I visited there a few years ago, it's always raining and flooding, and mosquitoes everywhere, but it was quite fertile growing ground."

In May, 1870, a caravan of five covered wagons drawn by mules and horses set out from Spring Garden, Illinois for the Wet Mountain Valley in Colorado. All the citizens of Spring Garden, Illinois were present to bid them God-speed.

After several seasons on South Hardscrabble, Colorado, Jason Blakeslee staked a homestead of 130 acres on Hardscrabble Park.

Sarah married Jason Blakeslee 08 Aug 1847, Painesville, Lake Co. OH. Jason died , Wetmore, Custer Co. CO; was buried , New Hope Cemetery, Wetmore, Custer Co. CO. [Group Sheet]
