Mary Russell was born about 1909 in Culpeper, Virginia. She was the daughter of Billie Jameson and Daisy (LNU). She married Gabriel Williams in 1927 in Washington DC, and they had at least 5 children together before they divorced sometime after 1940. She moved to Edison, New Jersey around 1956 and lived there the rest of her life, where she worked as an operator for Louis Lefkowitz and Son in New Brunswick.
