William Russell (1667-1717) |
As neighbors in Concord, our ninth great-grandfathers
Benjamin Russell and James
Adams went to church together (or they’d have
been fined) and no doubt called each other
“brother” on that account. Custom made them
doubly fraternal, once Benjamin’s son our 8GGF
William
Russell married James’ daughter Hannah
Adams.
William Russell is buried in Plot #1 in the front rank of the Hill Cemetery in Concord Centre. The second Doolittle engraving shows Redcoat officers Smith and Pitcairn standing among those graves on April 19, 1775. |
