"Rev. Jonathan Russell, of Barnstable, born about 1655, probably at Wethersfield, Connecticut, was son of the Reverend John Russell, H.U. 1645, of Wethersfield, and of Hadley, Massachusetts, by his first wife, Mary, daughter fo John Talcott, of Hartford, or by his second, Rebecca, daughter of Thomas Newberry, of Dorchester, Massachusetts, or of Windsor, Connecticut.... Russell died 20 Feb, 1710-11, "abt 55 years old; an Orthodox Usefull Man."
The language of a codicil to the will of John Talcott of Hartford, indicates that Jonathan was his grandson, therefore the son of Talcott's daughter Mary (Talcott) Russell, not of Rebecca Newberry.
