Image description

Samuel Russell was born in Middletown, Connecticut on August 25, 1789, to Capt. John Russell and Abigail Warner. Russell was orphaned at the age of 12, did not receive any significant inheritance, and did not attend college. Instead, he began his career as apprentice clerk for a maritime trade merchant, Whittlesley & Alsop, in Middletown. It is there that Russell began learning his skills as a trader.
