Note: Son Moody was the second white male born in Monroe Co., NY. The HIstory of of Monroe County, New York states that in 1807 Jonathan Russell moved in (from Stowe, VT), and built a log house, Jonathan married a total of three times. and died in Webster, NY, age 70, 30 June 1860. Eaton, P. and Boyle, F.R., TAG, Vol 79, p 145-147 "My GGGGrandmother was Dolly Moody born in Maine about 1780. She married Jonathan Russell and subsequently relocated to Stowe, Vt., where her firstborn son CLEMENT was born 1804. They later moved to Henrietta, N.Y., where they remained till death about 1860's. They were prominent Quakers. I believe her father was also named Clement. If the family you referred to above were Quakers also there is a good chance they are connected with Dolly." Irene St. Onge, Moody Genforum After marrying in ME, Jonathan and Dolly relocated to Stowe, VT. Dolly and Jonathan were said to have bought the land in Stowe from Daniel and Clement Moody believed to be Dolly's brothers. Then Jonathan and Dolly left Stowe, Vermont and settled in Boyle (now part of Henrietta) in 1807 (they had 7 children all totalled: Joseph (b. in VT), Affias (b. VT), Clement (b. VT) John Moody, who was the 2nd (white) male born in Henrietta, Abial (who supposedly left Henrietta and was never heard from again), Royal, Marie and Marietta (b. Henrietta). Sometime before 1850, Dolly dies and Jonathan marries Orpha Hayden. He and Orpha appear on the 1850 census in Webster. Why he moved? I don't know. All three were buried together in the West Brighton Cemetery and they were later moved (with the cemetery) to Mt. Hope Cemetery in Rochester. At the time of his death he was married to a woman named Mary who appears with him on the 1860 census and whom he names in his will. I have no further info on her. There is a short bio on Jonathan in "Northfield on the Genesee - Early Times in Monroe Co., NY" His daughter Marietta married Abel Fenner and they remained in Henrietta until their deaths. John Moody Russell (the 2nd male born in Henrietta) is my GGGGrandfather. He relocated to Kendall, Orleans Co., NY. He married Caroline Carrington and they had 7 children including a daughter the named Mariette. I have several sterling spoons passed on through the family including one belonging to Dolly and several bearing the name Mariette. I have more info regarding children and grandchilren but will stop here for now. Paula Rigano-Murray----Russell Genforum, November 2, 2002
