Additional Information for Viall

John 2nd of Newport, RI with son, Philip, his wife with 4 sons and daughter emigrated to Willsboro, Essex Co., NY after the close of the revolution. The Revolution ended about 1790. Philip Viall being the son of John 2nd of Newport,RI who came to Russell with Samson Viall and was part of the Russell Baptist Church. They may have come from Willsboro as did Abel and Rachel Payne Pratt. Abel Pratt served in the Rev. War at FT. Ticonderoga with Ethan Allen and the Green Mtn Boys. Abel recieved a pension for that service until his death in 1840 in Edwards which was once a part of Russell, NY. Abel and Rachel Payne Pratt left Willsboro abt 1808/9 for Russell. Shortly thereafter the couple with others who I assume they knew fairly well formed the Russell Baptist Church. A Jonathan Payne, preached at the Russell Baptist Church and it is thought though not proven he was a brother to both Rachel and Nehemiah Payne Sr. We think they were all siblings of unk. parents. Rachel Payne Pratt was b. 1758/9. Nehemiah Payne on the 1790 census of Essex Co. is listed Nehemiah Payn so the Payne name is found spelled many different ways.

Viall/Pratt connection both seemingly having come from Willsboro, Essex Co., NY Abel & Rachel Payne Pratt coming to Russell abt. 1808/9. About their being poss. 3 related siblings, my Rachel b. 1758/9 place and parents unk. Nehemiah Payn b. 1764 m. Hannah Viall and poss. a brother Jonathan Payne who preached early on at the Russell Baptist Church but who later had his own church in Gouverneur. Nehemiah Payn (as spelled on the 1790 census) and wife Hannah (Viall) moved to Erie Co., NY and then on to Wis. His son Nehemiah Payne Jr. was in Russell and married first Lois Rice thought to be a sister of Abner Rice who m. Abel and Rachel Payne Pratt's daughter, Elizabeth "Betsy" Pratt Lois Rice Payne died, Nehemiah Payne Jr. m. Cynthia Streeter.

• **********************************

From the Town History of Russell, NY In 1798 Russell Attwater (from whom the town was named) purchased of McCormick a tract embracing 13,600 acres, all of which except the north half of No. 5 was subsequently reconveyed to McCormick, and later became the property of Joseph Pitcairn. Mr. Attwater made an exploring trip here in 1806, and in the following year came in with Timothy Blair (a surveyor who surveyed the town into farms), Nathan Knox, Heman Morgan, Elias Hayden, Loren Knox, Reuben Ashman, Jesse Bunnell, Elihu Morgan and David Knox. Nathaniel Higgins was the first to bring in his family, and in the fall of 1805 Joel Clark and his family located on Plum Creek. In April, 1806, Mr. Attwater returned, and in that and the succeding year the following settlers came in: Joseph Hutchinson, Michael Coffin, Philip and Sampson Viall, John Potter, John Cooper, Calvin Hill, Simeon Stiles, Elihu Phelps, Samuel Clark, John Watson, Horace Dickenson, Enos Bunnell, Luther and David Phelps, and Philetus Clark. The first white child born in town was a son of Reuben Ashman, in October i8o6; the second was a daughter in the family of Nathaniel Higgins, in May, 1807. Calvin Hill and Harriet Knox were the first persons married and the first death was a Mr. Curtis in 1807. Between 1810 and 1816 the town was very rapidly settled, and anticipations were indulged that it would soon become a populous and wealthy community. But these anticipations were clouded by a season of adversity. Mr. Attwater had in his business mortgaged his lands to the Mohawk Valley Bank, and being unable to meet his payments a foreclosure followed, which affected the titles of the settlers and caused the utmost disappointment. Many went away and only by the most urgent appeals were others prevailed upon to remain. The lands passed into the hands of Gerrit Smith, whose native benevolence led him to give all possible accommodation to those who needed it, and the settlements finally recovered and continued to advance.
