Individual Details
Lucy Russell
(13 Apr 1755 - 1 Dec 1828)
FamilySearch Family Tree indicates that her intention to marry John Ivory, Jr [MJQ2-H7C] was recorded on 14 March 1778 in Shirley, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Lucy was then almost 23 years old.
William Russell & Lucy Goldsmith had a daughter Lucy Russell [K4LR-8RY] born 6 May 1759 in Littleton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.
FamilySearch Family Tree indicates that she married William Hayward [K4FK-7W2] on 29 July 1783 in Surry, Cheshire County, New Hampshire. Both were born in 1759, so they would be 24 years old when married.
Rex Wilson descends from the Lucy Russell who married John Ivory, Jr. The question is about Lucy's parents. Is FamilySearch Family Tree correct? Yes, it must be. The proof of the identity of Lucy's parents is found in the sale of her property on 8 June 1793 to Chandler Russell, which names their mother as Mary.
However, DNA evidence is that my ancestor Lucy Russell could be descended from William Russell & Lucy Goldsmith because Clementina, their undisputed daughter, has one descendant, Terissa J. Roberts, who has a 15cM DNA match to me. Could the source of that matching DNA be a different ancestor?
----------------------------
In 1818 Lucy Ivory lived at Fort Edward, New York.
By 1821 she lived at Springfield, Pennsylvania with her son Thomas. She died there according to her tombstone at age 70 years 10 months.
