NOTE: Find a death record for one Martha Russell only in Marblehead, who died 1 September 1825, age 87. (According to a "Private record of deaths, 1811-1825, kept by Rev. John Bartlett, now in possession of Stephen P. Hathaway", this Martha was single, and was 79 years old. However, the 1825 death recorded in the town records fits the death year shown in this profile, and the year given for her birth, 1738.
