George L. Russell dates his coming to Butler county July, 1856. His father, Thomas Russell, was born near New Haven, Connecticut, and was a descendant of one of the early New England settlers. The family descended from the Rev. John Russell, who came over from England more than two centuries ago. His son, Rev. Samuel Russell, a generation later, was a prominent New England clergyman.
