Alice Russell "goodies"

Post by nbcatlover »

  • Most of the information regarding Alice’s lineage is already published. It either stops with her Father, Frederick W. Russell, or her mother, Judith M(aria) Manley. Much of this information is also available online. The Manley line has been “proved” by the DAR.

    This is a work in progress. I make no representations as to its accuracy.

    Alice’s Patriarchal Lineage:

    Descendants of Tristam Coffin


    This first chart shows Alice’s AND her 1st cousin’s (Ida S. Russelll) descendency. They were desecended from the same families at different levels, including having fathers who were brothers. Ida’s relationship was published in a newletter of the FRHS (Summer 2002, Vol. 14, No. 2) when Ida’s descendants presented a photo of an elderly Alice to FRHS. Alice signed the photo “Alice Maria Russell” and not Alice Manley Russell as had been previously reported.

Update:

Helen Mar Brownell (Emma's visit) is a descendant of Thomas Brownell. She's like a sixth cousin once removed from Alice. By my calculations, Helen Mar Brownell is 7th generation and Alice is 8th generation. It's doubtful with a relationship this far apart whether they even knew each other.
2978. Allen6 Brownell (Robert5, John4, Jeremiah3, Thomas2, Thomas1, RobertA, ThomasB) was born February 16, 1801, and died June 16, 1884 in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. He married Rebecca Delano October 19, 1837. She was born August 02, 1814, and died March 24, 1897.

Children of Allen Brownell and Rebecca Delano are:
6358 i. Helen Mar7 Brownell, born August 27, 1838 in Fairhaven, Massachusetts.
6359 ii. Roby Fuller Brownell, born March 11, 1840; died September 07, 1841.
6360 iii. Frederick Stevens Brownell, born February 13, 1842; died April 12, 1861 in on board of ship Philippe Delanoye buried at sea.
6361 iv. Peter Fuller Brownell, born June 26, 1846; died February 20, 1897.
6362 v. Allen Fuller Brownell, born May 14, 1849; died January 25, 1890. He married Addie L Stevens.

Yes --thanks for that, Cynthia.

I’ve found the testimony of Delia Manley and Sarah Hart very convoluted in regard to their relationship to each other. They both testified about a stranger attracting their attention in front of the Borden house on the morning of the murders. Now, thanks to your chart, I see Delia was Alice’s aunt by marriage because she wed Judith Russell’s brother in 1869 (she is the Cordelia Manley in Cynthia’s chart) -- and Sarah Hart was Judith's sister.

By the way, note that our Alice is listed consistently in this chart as Alice Maria. I went back to all her testimonies and even the witness statements and she is identified only as Alice M. Russell in those. For some reason, I can’t remember the original source that identifies her as Alice Manley Russell (other than the Knowlton Glossary, that is). Someone refresh this ancient memory, please!!

There has been an ongoing discussion about that middle name in Fall River. Some say *Maria* is a Catholic name and no way would she sport such a moniker. The *Manley* part was the argument that ladies with no brothers sometimes were given a male family name as middle name- but at this point I get confused :?:

\In the Summer 2002 newsletter of FRHS, Frank Hadley presented them with a photo of an older Alice taken by Dwight Minor, husband of Alice's 1st cousin Ida. It was signed "Alice Maria Russell Fall River September 4, 1911." (I think the date is right--my computer crashes every time I open this article!)

It seems Alice believed her middle name was Maria. Note on the Coffin descendency, Mary is a popular name and a Coffin married a Maria Barnard so Catholicism doesn't seem to be a issue here.

Maria might just have been considered a more refined way to say Mary. (My mother's name was Mary--during WWII, everyone started calling her Mamie after Mamie Eisenhower. She hated it, but some of them persisted for the restof her life.)

Queen Victoria's mom was Maria Louisa.

Yes, I recall that FRHS article well- and photo. Len Rebello maintains that Maria is not correct- and that it IS Manley.I wonder if perhaps the ink was smeared or the signature hard to read. I tried transcribing the Carpathia logbook once and went cross-eyed trying to make out that spidery old-fashioned writing. And her gravemarker is no help either!
