Richard Russell was born about 1813 in Dublin Ireland. He stated in his "Declaration of Intention to become a Citizen of the United States" filed November 1, 1858 in Waukesha County Wisconsin that "I was born in Ireland on or about the year 1813, that I emigrated to the United States and landed at the port of New York on or about the month of May 1848".
(Waukesha County separated from Milwaukee Co. in 1846.)
His wife Alice (Mahoney) later stated in the 1900 Census that she had entered the United States in 1853 and so apparently married Richard by 1856 in New York. According to census records, their first son Jeremiah was born in Wisconsin in 1857. The families of Richard and his brother Patrick settled in Waukesha and lived there from probably the late 1850's as they each filed their Declaration of Intention in Waukesha in 1858.
Richard and Alice's son John was an Alderman in Waukesha and a founding member of the court of the Catholic Order of Foresters, known as St. Joseph's No. 120.
