Russell.
In a record of the family of John Russell the Baptist Elder of Wo burn copied from a family Bible printed in 1725 by the late Rev William Jenks DD I find the following:
John Russell Lived at Woburn wh he died on ye 1 st day of ye 4th month 1676 Having been made a Freeman of ye Colony May 3 1635 Ye name of his wife was Elizabeth who died on ye 6th day of ye 10th month 1644.
Rev John Russell their son was pastor of ye 1st Baptist Church in Boston. He married Sarah Champneys 0cto31 1661 He died Dec 24 1680
Joseph Russell their son was born in 1664 On ye fifth day of June 1693 he married Susannah Cheever b Feb 10 1660 died Nov 10 1744 being ye youngest daughter of Mr Ezekiel Cheever ye venerable master of ye Latin School in Boston b Jany 25 1615 in London d Aug 21 1708 and of Ellen Lothrop his 2d wife m Nov 18 1652 From this Joseph Russell was descended Benjamin who married Elizabeth Belknap and the family of Russells from whom sprang the late Major Benjamin Russell and Ezekiel Russell.
In an interesting volume called the Russell Genealogy by the Hon John Russell Burtlett 1879 1 find it stated that Joseph Russell there said to be a son of Rev John Russell was born Jan 15 1663 4 d March 13 1713 14 He married Mary probably Skinner who died March 28 1715 and from them are descended the Russells of the Rusaeli Genealogy.
I think these two Josephs have been confused by Mr Bartlett and by Dr Jenks as one and the same person For Dr Jenks not having the dute of Joseph's death in the Family Bible record takes the date of the death of the other Joseph viz Mar 13 1713 14 in a Genealogy prepared by himself before 1847 The Bible referred to was once in possession of the late Nathaniel Pope Russell and if it can be produced may throw light on this confusion of the two genealogies Dr Jenks married 22 October 1797 Betsey Russell a descendant of Joseph and Susannah Cheever Russell and through the remainder of his long life took the greatest interest in collecting everything relating to the genealogy of his wife's Family He had no doubt whatever that she was descended from the Kev John Russell the son of John of Woburn I hope this query may lead to some further information on the subject 135 Beacon Street Boston Samuel H Russell

This however from p. 113 of Proceedngs of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society at the Annual Meeting, 3 January 1894.
In the Register 1882 p 324 Mr Russell queried concerning the parentage of his ancestor Joseph Russell who married Susanna Cheever there having been published erroneous interpretations of data Mr Russell with characteristic perseverance proved the above Joseph Russell not to have been a son of Rev John Russell but of Robert Russell of Andover By the Rev Anson Titus AB
