  RUSSELL (FAMILY) - LoveToKnow Article on RUSSELL (FAMILY)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In 1442 a pardon under the privy seal significantly describes Henry Russell of Weymouth, merchant, as alias Henry Gascoign, gentleman, and it is therefore probable that the ducal house of Bedford springs from a family of Gascon wine-merchants settled in a port of Dorsetshire, a county remarkable for the number of such French settlers.
John Russell, eldest son of this match, born before 1432, and returned to parliament for Weymouth in 1450, had his seat at Berwick in Swyre, he and his son and heir, James Russell, being buried in the parish church of Swyre.
Thus John Russell,, son and heir of James, was born in a family of squires rank, whose younger branches went on for many generations as merchants and shipowners at Weymouth.

Russell had proved his worth, his family links with the region were an added qualification, and a patrimony reduced by sale and neglect could be augmented to match the dignity of the office.
