The RUSSELL surname:
During the month of January 2013 while searching the scrap books of the Lower Lakes Maritime Historical Society in Buffalo, Erie, New York the following was found:
New information as of 2/1/2013
Buffalo Daily Courier June 15, 1847 and 18 June 1847
Port of Buffalo, NY Arrived 14 June 1847 two schooners together from Cleveland; the Courier captained by Wm G. Russell and the Navigator captained by a Russell. They both left the port together 17 June 1847, The Navigator headed for Erie and the Courier for Cleveland.
So there was another Captain Russell and they obviously knew each other. I have the Enrollment of the Navigator for this period and it does list David Russell as the Master. Now will be the chore of tracking him to a location. I have been doing this since receiving the information without any luck.
Additionally, there are a number of RUSSELL's buried in the Erie Street Cemetery where Louisa Jones and children are buried. Some are of the same time period as our William G. Russell.

Purpose of this Blog
We are in the process of organizing a WILLIAM GREENWOOD RUSSELL family reunion in St. John, Tooele, Utah (Date yet to be determined). Our first step is to gather in the names and addresses of as many descendants as possible so as to invite everyone. Therefore, if you are a descendant please email us your family information (Name(s), address(s), emails and through whom you are related to our Grandfather Russell). My email address is located on this blog in the "About Me Section". Go there and you will find an email link. The information you send us will only be used for the reunion and will not be shared with anyone else without your specific permission. We will post more information pertaining to this family and the reunion in the very near future.
We welcome any suggestions and or assistance.
