    Class of 1645. JOHN RUSSELL. The lengthy profile includes the following genealogical information:

    Born about 1627, died 1692, aged 65. Rev. John Russell, M. A., of Hadley, born in England, was son of John Russell, glazier, who came to Cambridge, Massachusetts.... Russell died 10 December, 1692. His successor was Isaac Chauncy, H. U. 1693.

    A summary of the inventory of his estate, taken at Hadley 10 January, 1693, is on record in the Probate Office in Suffolk County, at Boston, where his son, the Reverend Jonathan Russell, of Barnstable, was admitted as administrator 17 January. ...

    June 28, 1649, Russell married, at Hartford, Connecticut, Mary, daughter of John Talcott, and after her death, Rebecca, daughter of Thomas Newberry, of Dorchester, Massachusetts, or of Windsor, Connecticut.

    April 18, 1677, he wrote: "I had a very sickly winter my selfe, being weakly and full of sore paine. . . . My wife also grown very crazy, & fallen into a languishing state so that I fear her recovery. . . . My son hath been at home this winter; and beene a comfort to us." The
    wife having died 21 November, 1688, he married Phebe, born 15 October, 1643, widow and second wife of the Reverend John Whiting, of Hartford, H. U. 1653, and daughter of Thomas Gregson, of New Haven, who was lost at sea in 1646, in the Phantom ship. After her second husband's decease, she went to live with her son Joseph Whiting at New Haven, where she died 19 September, 1730.

  7. Find A Grave.

    Find A Grave indicates a birth date of Jan. 24, 1626 in Ipswich, Suffolk, England, but does not provide a source, so this is of questionable reliability. However, the page includes a photo of a plaque that reads (starting around the edges and continuing in the middle):
    'Reverend Russell remains who first gathered and for 33 years faithfully governed the flock of Christ in Hadley til the cheif [sic] shepherd suddenly but mercifully called him off to receive his reward in the 66 year of his age December 10 1692'

    "In the 66 year of his age" was a common way of phrasing age at that time, and means he was 65 years old, not 66 years old (consider that the 1st year of a person's life is before they turn 1).
