I just found a paper with a hint to Russell father John Hosford Russell mother Parna Maria Hibbard they were never married. Parna Maria Hibbard married in 1813 at Canaan, NH to a Ralph Bicknell and whom had eleven children and that is where my research ends. John Hosford father of Russell Married a Lydia Perkins on Feb 9, 1809 in Theftford, Vermont. She the daughter of Abraham Perkins and Fear Thompson of Lyme, NH. Lydia born on Feb. 2, 1782 and died Jan 17, 1836. John and lydia were buried in North Thetford Pleasant Ridge Cemeetry, Thetford, Vermont. John was born Dec. 16, 1781 in thetford , Vermont and Died there in 1838 or 1839 I have two different dates one is June 25, 1838 or Jan. ??, 1939 I got this information from Mark Leckie. It came froma book by Norman F. & David H. Hosford, Phonix Publishing, West Kennebunk, Maine-1993 check out pages 86 and 87 and then on Russell pages 136 to 137. Happy hunting and if you find out anything more please let me know as well. Thanks Rebecca (Jacques) Rogers
