About Phebe Russell

Phebe Collins Russell Birth: 1605 Death: Jan. 8, 1642

Cambridge Middlesex County Massachusetts, USA

Phebe Collins was baptized at Bramford, Suffolk, 3 March 1604/5, daughter of John Collins.

She married, as his 1st wife, by about 1624, John Russell (abt.1597-8 May 1680). They came to Massachusetts Bay in 1635 (based on admission to freemanship on 3 March 1635/6). They settled in Cambridge; They had two children: John (b. England) & Phillip (b. Cambridge MA). She died at Cambridge on 8 July 1642, & he moved the family on to Wethersfield by 1655, & Hadley by 1661.

Based on their dates of first marriage, the estimated dates of birth for the two sons of this immigrant are fifteen years apart. Phillip Russell might, however, have been several years older than this estimate.

Phebe (Collins) Russell, first wife of this immigrant, was sister of EDWARD COLLINS {1636, Cambridge}. Dorothy (Bedle) Bowles, wife of JOHN BOWLES {1639, Roxbury}, and Abigail (Bedle) Powell, wife of MICHAEL POWELL {1639, Dedham}, were their first cousins.

In June 1634, as the first step in his first attempt to sail for New England, Rev. Thomas Shepard sailed from Newcastle to Ipswich in Suffolk "in a disguised manner, with my wife and child and maid; and stayed a while at Mr. Russell's house, another while at Mr. Collins his house, and then went down to Essex." "Mr. Collins" is almost certainly EDWARD COLLINS {1636, Cambridge}, making "Mr. Russell" almost equally certainly the subject of the present sketch, whose English origin should thus be sought in Ipswich or environs. (In 1947 Winifred Lovering Holman reported the claim, made by Albert B. Russell, that John Russell derived from Cretingham, Suffolk. No evidence to support this claim was provided. Cretingham is about twelve miles north of Ipswich.)
