Biography

Judith was baptized the 24th of October, 1742 at Harwich^[1]. She is the daughter of John Penney and Elizabeth Delano. Her family, including her grandfather, William, as well as her parents, removed to Oblong, Dutchess County, NY, 1747.^[2] After her father died, her mother returned to Massachusetts & married at New Braintree. Presumably, Judith returned with her, as this is the location of her marriage to Barnabas Russell (see below).

On a deed dated the 29th of June, 1785, at Guilford, Windham, VT, she makes her mark to seal the deed with her husband. This is the last definitive evidence for Judith. However, she is presumed to be with Barnabas in the 1800 & 1810 NY censuses, Hoosick, Rensselaer County. ^[3]

Marriage

Judith "Spenny" Penney married Barnabas Russell in Braintree, Massachusetts, on 23 Nov 1758. ^{[4] [5]}
