About Walter Russell

Per the Genealogical and Family History of the State of New Hampshire, compiled under the editorial supervision of Ezra S. Stearns, ex-secretary of the state (Dec 1971): Walter is the second son and child of Walter and Hannah(Adams) Russell. He was born May 3, 1765 and did July 15, 1848. Besides the property which came to him from his father, Walter acquired much land on his own account and must have been an extensive and probably successful dealer. He lived at Arlington, Massachusetts, and was a minute-man of the militia of his town, and was at the battle of Lexington, which was the beginning of the Revolutionary war. He married, June 26, 1788, Frances Cutter (perhaps Cutler), who died August 31, 1849. They had a family of twelve children, the names of all of whom are now unknown but among them was a daughter Frances and a son Nahum.
