His biography from William Russell and His Descendants by Anna Russell des Cognets (Lexington, Ky., 1884) follows: WILLIAM HENRY RUSSELL, born October 9th, 1802. Some account of his public life and services is given in the following letter of Hon. Robert J. Walker to President Andrew Johnson.
Washington, D. C., May 9th, 1867. To his Excellency, The President of the United States:
I am prompted to this act by my knowledge of the eminent fitness of Col. Russell for the position, and my conviction that his appointment would secure the faithful and intelligent discharge of the duties of a responsible position. Col. Russell is a native of Favette county, Ky. He was a member of the Legislature of that State in 1830; and was mainly instrumental in securing the election of Mr. Clay, an old political opponent, to the U. S. Senate in 1831; so acknowledged by Mr. Clay himself. In the fall of 1831, Col. Russell emigrated to Missouri; and in the summer of 1832 was Judge-Advocate of a regiment in the Black Hawk war. In 1838 and '40, he was a member of the Legislature from Ca!loway county of that State; serving in 1839 as a member of the Harrisburg Convention, and urging with consistent zeal Mr. Clay for the Presidency. In 1844, he was appointed, by President Harrison, Marshal of Missouri - comprising at that time Missouri proper, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, and Nebraska. In 1846, he went to California at the head of a large emigration. On his arrival there he was appointed, by Commodore Stockton, Secretary of State, while Fremont was acting Governor. In 1848, he was a member of the Philadelphia Convention that nominated General Taylor, but withdrew before the nomination was made, because he opposed that of Gen. Taylor and regarded the Whig party as having degenerated into a mere personal party. In 1849, Col. Russell returned to California, where he was made an honorary member with Gov. Waller of the Convention that framed the State Constitution. In 1851, he was appointed Collector of Customs at Monterey, which position he held until his successor was appointed by Mr. Pierce. He practiced law with the late Senator Baker and Edward Stanley of North Carolina, in San Francisco, Cal. In 1861, he was appointed by Mr. Lincoln, U. S. Consul at Trinidad de Cuba, which office he held until after the assassination, receiving the plaudits of all for the faithful manner in which he discharged his duties, especially for his successful effort to rescue the Joseph Maxwell from the claims of the Spanish government, she being a prize of the Confederate steamer "Sumpter". His record is spotless, and I most earnestly commend him to your favorable consideration. Yours very respectfully, R. J. WALKER.
Col. Russell died in Washington, D. C., October 13th, 1873, and was buried in Oak Lawn Cemetery, Georgetown, D.C. He married in early life Miss Zanette Freeland, of Baltimore. The biography of William Henry Russell from the Dictionary of American Biographyy (New York, 1935) follows (note that he was actually born in Fayette County, KY but practiced law in Nicholas County, KY): RUSSELL, WILLIAM HENRY (Oct. 9, 1802-Oct, 13, 1873), politician, California pioneer, was born in Nicholas County, Ky., the son of Robert Spotswood and Deborah (Allen) Russell and grandson of Gen. William Russell. He practised law in his native county and in 1830 represented it in the legislature; about this time he married Zanette Freeland of Baltimore. He early came to the attention of Henry Clay, who befriended him, and it is said that for a time he was Clay's secretary. In 1831 he emigrated to Callaway County, Mo., and in the following year served in the Black Hawk War; in 1841 he was appointed United States marshal of the District of Missouri, which included the Indian Country. He had by this time acquired the courtesy title of "colonel." His term ended in 1845, and in May 1846, near Independence, Mo., he joined a wagon-train of California emigrants, among whom was Edwin Bryant, later the author of What I Saw in California (1848), in which Russell figures. He was elected captain of the company but near Fort Laramie was displaced. With Bryant and seven others he continued the journey on muleback by way of Fort Bridger to the site of the future Salt Lake City and then across the Great Salt Desert, the first to follow Fremont's track of the year before. Arriving at Sutter's Fort on Sept. 1, and proceeding to Yerba Buena and Monterey, Russell joined Fremont's California Battalion with the rank of major and was one of the peace commissioners who framed the treaty of Cahuenga, Jan. 13, 1847. Fremont [q.z:] a few days later appointed him secretary of state. On the downfall of the Fremont administration in March, Russell left for the east by way of Santa Fe, reaching the Missouri settlements in July and thence going to Washington; he was one of Fremont's principal witnesses in the court-martial, which began in November. In 1849 he returned to California and practised law at San Jose and elsewhere until at least 1854. Later he went east again and in 1861 was appointed consul at Trinidad, Cuba. By 1865 he was back in the United States, and two years later sought vainly to get the post of consul-general at Havana. He died in Washington and was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery. Russell appears as "Col. R___"in one passage in Parkman's The California and Oregon Trail (1849, ch. x) and in many passages in other Western books of the time. He was a large man, expansive in manner, boastful and bombastic in speech. His egotism sometimes made him the sport of his companions. In a story often told about him, he is said to have mistaken the chorus of "tu-whoo's" from a flock of owls for a challenge of "Who are you?" and to have thundered back, "Col. William H. Russell, of Kentucky--a bosom friend of Henry Clay!" Ever after he was known as "Owl" Russell. He was, however, a man of many substantial and endearing qualities, and was widely popular. He is sometimes confused with William Hepburn Russell [q.v.], the founder of the Pony Express. [Anna Russell des Cognets, William Russell and His Descendants ( 1884) ; W. H. Davis, Seventy-Five Years in California (1929); H. H. Bancroft, Hist. of California, vol. V (1886); L. H. Garrard, Wah-To-Yah and the Taos Trail (1850), chs. xxm-xxv; Appletons' Ann.

His obituary from the Daily National Republican newspaper of October 14, 1873, Washington, DC: The death of Colonel William H. Russell is announced as having occurred yesterday at his residence, 1211 I street, in this city, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, aged sixty-nine years. Colonel Russell was formerly private secretary to Henry Clay, with whose family he was connected by the marriage of one of his daughters to a son of Mr. Clay. Colonel Russell was a man of superior attainments and refined cultivation, who filled several official positions with honor to himself and usefulness to his country. He was at one time United States marshall of the State of Missouri, and later was appointed by the late President Lincoln as consul at Trinidad, Cuba. His funeral will take place to-morrow at 3 o'clock p.m. from his late residence, and remains will be interred at Oak Hill.

Simpson, 13, born in Kentucky. Her obituary from the Lexington Herald, March 30, 1920: Mrs. John Morrison Clay died Monday morning at her home, Ashland-on-the Tates Creek Pike. She was 85 years old and had been ill all winter, but not in a serious condition until with the last few weeks. Mrs. Clay was the widow of John Morrison Clay, the youngest son of Kentucky's famous statesman, Henry Clay. She was Miss Josephine D. Russell, the daughter of Col. and Mrs. William H. Russell, and was born in Fulton, Missouri. Her father was a well known man in public life, a jurist and statesman and the devoted friend of Henry Clay. She was twice married, her first husband having been Col. Eugene Erwin, the grandson of Henry Clay, who was killed at the Battle of Vicksburg, and Mrs. Clay's two daughters surviving her are the children of that marriage, Mrs. Minor Simpson, of Ashland-on-the Tates Creek Pike, and Mrs. M. W. Anderson of Kansas City who came several days ago called by her mother's illness. She leaves also five grandchildren, Eugene Erwin Simpson, Miss Josephine Simpson, Henry Clay Simpson, Henry Clay Anderson, and Matthew William Anderson. The funeral of Mrs. Clay will be held Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at Christ Church Cathedral and the burial will be in the family lot at the Lexington Cemetery. In the passing of Mrs. Clay, Lexington loses perhaps the most remarkable woman of her generation, a writer of prose and poetry, a successful business woman, fearless and intrepid in spirit, brilliant in mind and admired for beauty, wit and all the womanly graces as well. She was engaged in activities which won for her a national fame, having been the world's most noted and successful woman owner and breeder of fine thoroughbred horses. At the death of her husband, Mr. John Morrison Clay, August 10, 1887, she succeeded to his business of rearing and racing thoroughbreds and under the Ashland colors, yellow and blue, won several of the classics of the turf. From an illustrated article which appeared in one of the magazines several years ago called "The World's Most Noted Woman" the following is quoted: "With scarcely half a dozen brood mares in her possession, Mrs. John M. Clay, proprietor of the famous Ashland Stud in Kentucky, has had more great horses than a number of the famous stock farms in which thousands of dollars are invested." Mrs. Clay strolls among her mares and horses at will. They all seem to know her and have learned to appreciate the tender care with which she guards them. Of all persons interested in breeding and rearing the thoroughbred horse in America there are none as picturesque as this Kentucky authoress who, in spite of this and other business cares, finds time to give the public popular stories, her latest novel, "Uncle Phil," being now in its second edition. The life of Mrs. Clay was closely interwoven with the Henry Clay family as her first husband, Col. Erwin, whom she met while on a trip to California, was the son of Henry Clay's fifth child, Anne Clay, his father being James Erwin of New Orleans. Being brilliant and accomplished her father took special pride in her and she was said to be more like him in intellect than any of his eleven children. Col. Erwin was an officer of the Sixth Regiment of Missouri Volunteers and was killed while leading a charge against the enemy at the battle of Vicksburg. He had been a leader on half a dozen battlefields where he was noted for his coolness, daring and bravery. After his death Mrs. Erwin and her children came to live at the home which was part of the original tract of land settled by Henry Clay more than 100 years ago and several years later was married to Mr. John Morrison Clay, the youngest son of the Sage of Ashland and the namesake of the founder of Morrison Chapel. Of the pioneer and aristocratic lineage on all sides it seemed the birthright of Mrs. Clay to perform unusual duties and to meet with success in her undertakings. While a girl she read the works of the world's greatest writers and with her observations on many trips with her father she was thus splendidly equipped. An article says of her that she first appeared in print against her will. She had been on a trip to Mexico and as they came through California she was asked to write of some of their experiences. She refused the requests, but her father required her to comply and after writing the article she added as a postscript, "my father made me write this". The editor was very much amused at this and when the article appeared it was widely read and copied in the other California papers. Mrs. Clay took great pride in her old home and its many valuable Clay relics. It was there that the wife of Henry Clay, Lucretia Hart, died. Among the most noted of the writings of Mrs. Clay were: "John Logan" dedicated to Henry Clay; "Some Little of the Angel Still Left," "Uncle Phil" and her last work, "The Sport of Kings," a group of racing stories. A patriot, a suffragist, a musician and a scientific gardener were some of the other qualifications of this wonderful Kentucky woman. During the Civil war she devoted a great deal of time to work for the soldiers and when the United States went to war with Germany she recalled her accomplishment of knitting and made more than 100 pairs of socks. She had not finished her self-imposed quota when the armistice was signed and she sent many of the pairs to Belgium to be presented to the common soldiers of that country who had won her admiration. She said that in all her life nothing had given her more pleasure than this knitting she had done for the soldiers. At a meeting of the International Conference of Women, held at Toronto, Canada, a few years ago. Mrs. Clay was asked to make all address. She could not be present but wrote the address and sent it to be read at the conference. Her subject was "Women and the Professions." After expressing her opinion that women could succeed in all the professions, Mrs. Clay tells in the address of her experience as a horse breeder. She says that she sold one yearling for $8,200, which won three of the Kentucky Derby honors and the rich Realization stake at $41,000. The address was printed in the Kansas City Star and in several other newspapers. Private funeral services will be held for Mrs. Clay at Christ Church Cathedral Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the Very Rev. Robert K. Massie, dean of the Cathedral, officiating. The pallbearers will be Dr. Thomas Bullock, Thomas H. Shelby, W. K. Berry, James A. Todd, Colonel C. D. Clay, Captain T. J. Clay, Prof. Walter Patterson, Louis des Cognets. Burial services will be private.

At 26 years of age Robert became the father of Robert Freeland in Maryland, October 29, 1787. At 30 years of age Robert became the father of Ethelbert Freeland January 30, 1792. Robert was listed as the head of a family on the 1800 Census in Calvert County, Maryland.

The large time gap between the birth of Robert in 1787 and the birth of Ethelbert in 1803 worries me. I wonder if all of these children had the same mother. The child named Gideon is listed with a question mark on the chart.
