3. George Russell, born about 1752, was about sixty eight when he appeared in Smith County, Tennessee, on 15 August 1820 to apply for a pension for his services in the Revolution. He served in the 15th Virginia Regiment for a year and nine months. He had a wife of about 45 years of age and a boy of about five years of age in his household. He was a "colored man" who was born in Brunswick County, Virginia and returned there after in Spring 1779 [NARA, S.39059, M804]. He was head of a Wake County household of 11 "other free" in 1790 [NC:103] and 4 in 1800 [NC:791]. He sold 75 acres, and James Russell sold an adjoining tract of 60 acres in Wake County about 1800 [DB Q:415]. Perhaps George's children were
i. James2, head of a Wake County household of 3 "other free" in 1790 [NC:103], 9 in 1800, and 7 "free colored" in Richmond County in 1820 [NC:200].
ii. Matthew, head of a Montgomery County household of 3 "other free" in 1790 [NC:166].
****** 1790 Coastal Carolina Indian Cross-Reference Database ******
Russell(Mattamuskeet*)This is a surname belonging to one of the chief men, Joseph Russell, of the Mattamuskeet reservation. (See Appendix 14 of the Mattamuskeet Documents.)* It should be noted that the Mattamuskeet reservation housed Indians from the small Algonquian villages along the coast, as well as Tuscarora. The southern Tuscarora, led by Hancock, were assisted by virtually all of the smaller tribes in coastal plain, including present day Craven, Beaufort, Hyde, Pamlico and Currituck Counties. The reservation at Indian Woods in Bertie County was set up for the northern Tuscarora, led by Tom Blount, who had been “friendly” to the English. The Mattamuskeet reservation was not established until close to a decade later for the southern Indians who had continued to fight colonial expansion, even after the fall of Fort Neoheroka.
