I am removing William Russell (1655-1744) and Abigail (Winship) Russell (1656-1727) as parents for Mary Russell-2616. The source cited on Russell-2616 does not so much as hint at her origins; there is nothing on the Russell-1175 or Winship-88 profiles to suggest a child named Mary); and the chances are very small that a girl whose parents lived in Massachusetts ended up marrying (much less being born) in Virginia in this time period.
