                   RESEARCH NOTE:
    Ancestral file lists birth locations as Dartmouth, Bristol, MA and Ipswitch, Suffolk, England.  It also lists death places as Woburn, Middlesex, MA and Dartmouth, Bristol, MA.  Further research is necessary.

RESEARCH NOTE:
    There were thirty-six English proprietors or original purchasers of ancient Dartmouth. Among these purchasers was Captain Miles Standish, of Duxbury, whose share was conveyed to John Russell per deed of March 9, 1664. That John Russell is thought to have been a son of Ralph Russell, from Pontipool, Monmouthshire, Eng., who, in 1652, went to what was then Taunton, but now Raynham, to establish iron works upon "two mile river." Ralph Russell soon after came to Dartmouth and set up iron works upon the west bank of Pascamanset river, at a place that still retains the name of "Russell's Mills." That John Russell was Dartmouth's first or earliest representative to the colonial court, then holden at Plymouth, and was elected to that trust in 1665. John Russell died Feb. 13, 1695, and Dorothy, his wife, died Dec. 18, 1687. (See Dartmouth Records.) 
    John Russell and wife Dorothy had a son, Joseph Russell, born May 6, 1650, and died December 11, 1739.

                   RESEARCH NOTE:
    Possibly referred to in research notes of sister Mary, as the brother Thomas of whom she testified in court.  No other mention of this Thomas could be located, and the court reference should be reveiwed closer as the reference does not seem to make complete sense.

Notes:
                   RESEARCH NOTE:
From Genealogy of the Cornell Family:  -1673, March 3, Mary Cornell, wife of John Cornell of Plymouth Colony, testified on the trial of her brother Thomas. 1673, July 4, he was one of those appointed by the court at Dartmouth, Mass., to take charge of so much of his brother Thomas estate as was in Dartmouth. 1676, Oct. 3, the Governor grants to John Cornell who with his wife and five small children, had been driven from the eastward by the Indians, a tract of 100 acres of land on the west side of Cow Neck. He built a house here, but the land was claimed by the inhabitants of Hempstead, who pulled the house down. Those concerned in this were afterwards indicted and convicted. (See full account in Onderdonks Queens County, pp. 9-10.) It may have been to quiet the title to this piece of land that Governor Andros issued a patent to John Cornell, Sept. 29, 1677, for 116 acres near the bottom of Cow Neck, adjoining Cow Bay, with a privilege of acquiring an additional 100 acres. This privilege was exercised when a patent was taken from Governor Dongan, dated Dec. 13, 1686, for 100 acres north of the above and extending to the Sound. A tract of land on the first grant was reserved for a family burying ground. John and his wife were both buried there. 
    -circa 1669 John married Mary Russell, daughter of John Russell (-13 Apr 1695) & Dorothy [Russell] (-13 Feb 1686/7).
