He was a soldier in the Revolution, a private in Captain Nathan Hale's company and marched on the Lexington call, April 19, 1775. During the summer following he was in Captain Philip Thomas's company, Colonel James Reid's regiment. He was in Rindge, March 14, 1776, when he signed a patriotic agreement of citizens to resist the British ag- gressors. He enlisted in the Continental army in April, 1777, and was severely wounded in the battle of Stillwater and was unable to re- turn to duty. According to his petition for


i-11

reimbursement for extra expenses, his wound was very serious. He enlisted, he said, March 5, 1777, in the Continental army and was shot through the side of the back while fighting with the enemy near Stillwater, September 19, 1777, which disabled him from fighting ; from thence he was conducted to Albany and about October 20 received a furlough and was eleven days in getting to Rindge, in great pain by reason of said wound. He immediately put himself under the care of Dr. John Young, of Peterboro, where he stayed till October follow- ing. The following month, when he recovered his health so he was able to ride to Boston, he took a furlough of Hon. Major General Gates and returned to Rindge and was in pros- pect of recovering his health. But his said wound not being healed internally, as the bone was fractured, it "bealed" again and it became necessary to have it laid open again. He soon put himself under the care of Dr. Howe, of Jaffrey, where he stayed till August 1, 1779, which cost him thirty pounds, besides board and other necessary charges, and not being able to return to his regiment or any corps of invalids he went under the care of Dr. Young, of Peterboro, again and stayed until October 13, which cost him forty pounds to doctor. When he recovered his health so he was able to go to Boston, and was found not fit for any kind of duty, he received a furlough for two months and at the end of that time received a furlough the same as a discharge till the time of enlistment expired. He returned to Peter- boro under the care of Dr. Young, and for a time was unable to earn his living. The facts stated were related in his petition which closes : "He is utterly unable to earn his own support and is reduced to low and miserable condition of life and must throw himself upon the charity of the people unless some relief is granted." This interesting document is dated June 2, 1780. He was granted forty-two pounds, thir- teen shillings for reimbursement and kept on half pay for a few years until he fully recov- ered. The town also allowed him extra com- pensation on account of his extraordinary ex- penses. He removed from town about 1785, and settled in the neighboring town of Lynde- borough where his children were born. Chil- dren: I. George G., born February 21, 1785, married Rachel 2.

(VI) Daniel Russell, son of Daniel Russell (5), was born March 25, 1790, and died at Providence, Rhode Island, May 24, 1845. He


was educated in the common schools, and worked in his youth on his father's farm. He also learned the trade of shoemaking, and after he left home followed that trade all his life. About the time he became of age he settled in Providence. He opened a shop on College Hill and made custom shoes, and another shop on M'ain street, and drew the patronage of the best people of the city and college. About 1817 he removed to Chillicothe, Ohio, where he established a prosperous buiness in custom- made shoes. He returned about 1824 to Provi- dence and started in business there again and continued the remainder of his life. He died March 14, 1845. He built his house on Transit street about 1824. It was sold by the heirs after the death of his wife in 1876. He was a gifted musician, played the base viol in church and was greatly interested in musical affairs. He was a Universalist in religion and attended the Universalist church at Provi- dence. In politics he was in later life a Whig. He was a member of the Providence Lodge of Free Masons. He belonged to the militia when a young man.

(VII) Daniel Russell, son of Daniel Rus- sell (6), was born at Providence, Rhode Isl- and, July 16, 1824, and was educated there in the common schools. His father taught him the trade of shoemaking and he worked in his father's shop for some years, but when seven- teen years old left home to serve an apprentice- ship in the carriage painting trade, under Mr. Fairman, of Providence. He served three years and for four years more worked as a journeyman at Providence and in Middleboro, Massachusetts. In 1847 he went to Boston and became a salesman of small wares from samples. In 1849. when gold was discovered in California, he prepared to join the argo- nauts, but finally was induced by his friends and family to remain at home, and during that year began to work for Hon. Nathan Porter as agent and bookkeeper in his hat and cap business, taking a position after two years there with Cyrus Handy, clothier. In 1852 he returned to Boston to enter the employ of Ed- ward Locke & Co., clothing dealers, and re- mained two years. At this time he made his home in Melrose, where he lived until his death. In 1855 he became connected with the firm of Isaac Fenno & Co., and six years later became a partner. He retired in 1869 to de- vote his entire time to various public and pri- vate interests. Mr. Russell attributes his first real success in life, when he entered the em- ploy of Edward Locke & Co., to the interest that a western buyer showed in him by giving him his first order of $1,500, which he soon duplicated and which was given over older salesmen and greatly against their wishes. From that time his confidence and success were established.


From his removal to Melrose, in 1852, until his death, he was closely identified with the material and moral development of the town. He was largely interested in the establishment of the Melrose Savings Bank, and was one of the first board of trustees, and in 1878 was elected president, a position he filled until his death. He was selectman of the town three years, director of the Melrose and Malden


Gas Company until 1898, and was one of the commissioners of the water loan and sinking fund of the city of Melrose. He was also a director of the Putnam Woolen Company of Putnam, Connecticut. He was a Republican in politics, and in 1878 was elected state sena- tor of the sixth Middlesex District, which consists of Melrose, Wakefield, Reading, Billerica, Tewksbury, Wilmington, Bedford, Woburn, Winchester, Stoneham, North Reading and Burlington. He served as chair- man of the committee on insurance and mem- ber of the committee on agriculture. He was re-elected senator in 1879 and again was chairman of the insurance committee, and a member of the committees on agriculture and street railways. In 1890 he was a delegate from his congressional district to the Repub- lican National Convention at Chicago.


Having been an active member of the Mel- rose Universalist church, he held many offi- cial positions in it, and was largely instru- mental in raising the fund for the present handsome place of worship. His first contri- bution was two thousand dollars and he worked constantly to induce others to con- tribute. Upon the completion of the beauti- ful structure he presented to the society an organ costing two thousand dollars, and fin- ally gave $2,800 to help cancel the church debt. To the town he gave a clock for the tower on the town hall and substantial gifts to the fire department, and in his honor one of the companies is named the Russell Hose Company.


He was made a Master Mason in Wyoming Lodge at Melrose, April 28, 1858; member of St. Andrew's Chapter of Royal Arch Masons at Boston in 1861; of Boston Com- mandery, Knights Templar, March 7, 1863. He demitted from St. Andrew's Chapter and became a charter member of Waverly Chap- ter, September 30, 1862. He took a demit from the Boston Commandery and became a charter member of Hugh de Payen's Com- mandery, Melrose, February 14, 1866. Ever since joining the craft he took a profound in- terest in Masonry, and has given liberally to the organizations with which he was connect- ed. When Masonic Hall, Melrose, was burnt, he was the prime mover in the effort to build the elegant new Temple, heading the sub- scription fund with a handsome sumn and securing other subscriptions until the fund had reached the sum of thirty thousand dol- lars. The new Masonic Temple was dedi- cated in 1867 and bonds were issued for thirty thousand dollars. He bought a large share

of the bonds and contributed the pipe organ costing $2,500. He was the organist of his lodge for thirty years and of both chapter and commandery since they were organized, with- out fee or reward. The building is nearly free of debt, mainly on account of the liberality and personal efforts of Mr. Russell. In 1894, at a reception given by Hugh de Payen's Commandery he was given by the three Ma- sonic bodies a very handsome and valuable jewel of an original design in gold, surmount- ed by a solitaire diamond in token of their appreciation of his long and faithful services.


Since his retirement from active business,, Mr. Russell devoted much time to music of which he is very fond. His late residence is one of the most picturesque and attractive in the city of Melrose, being beautifully located on an eminence overlooking the entire city. The spacious grounds denote the taste and love of nature of its late owner. Russell Park, with its many pleasant homes, adjoins the home lot on the right. Mr. Russell enjoyed the society of good companions and enter- tained generously. He was a delightful host, especially for those who loved music. He also had a variety of phonographs and more than two hundred and fifty records.


Mr. Russell married, October 21, 1850, Mary Lynde, who was born in Melrose, June 15, 1825, and died June 5, 1899, daughter of Jonathan and Mary (Kimball) Lynde, of Mel- rose. Their children: I. William Clifton, born at Melrose, May 14, 1858, unmarried. 2. Daniel Blake, born January 3, 1862. Mr. Russell died January 23, 1907.

Danforth, a gentleman of such estate and repute in the world that it cost him a considerable sum to escape the knight- hood which King Charles I imposed on all of so much per annum; and of such figure and esteem in the church that he procured that famous lecture at Framlingham in Suffolk, where he had a fine "mannour;" which lecture was kept up by Mr. Burroughs and many

This person had three sons, whereof the second was our Samuel, born in September in the year 1726, and by the desire of his mother, who died three years after his birth, earnestly dedicated unto "the school of the prophets." His father brought him to New England in 1634, and at his death, about four years after his arrival here, he commit- ted this hopeful son of many prayers unto the paternal oversight of Mr. Shephard, who proved a kind patron unto him."
