• Name	Robert Russell
  Birth	27 May 1630	Scotland

  Death	13 Dec 1710	Andover, Essex County, Massachusetts, USA
  Notes	Robert Russell emigrated to America around 1640 and had settled in Andover, Massachusetts, by the 1650s. In Andover, he acquired a considerable estate, called "Scotland Yard". He was the first person to be buried in the Old South Burying-Yard, Andover. One (unknown) source indicates that Robert was the son of Sir Thomas Russell, born about 1575 in Beoley, Yorkshire, England. He married Elizabeth Spencer (born cir 1579, Beoley, Yorkshire, England), and died on 30 December 1632. Sir Thomas Russell is said to have been the son of Sir John Russell and Elizabeth Sheldon. However, since there is no mention of a son named Robert in Thomas's will, it is unlikely that Robert was his son.
