Thanks, I have since found a lot about Betsey Jillings Homan.Her parents are Thomas Homan and Tabitha Glover, and were listed on Betsey's death record (6 Apr 1874 in Salem, Mass VR vol. 265, page 260).Jabez Treadwell died in 1840, and she remarried to John Russell on 10 Jun 1849 in Salem (Salem VR) and is listed as Betsey Russell (Homan) on her death record.John Russell was born about 1788 in West Cambridge, Mass, son of John or Joseph Russell of Cambridge.He died on 11 Jun 1868 in Lynn (Masss VR vol 211, pager 210)

The name Russell had been passed down in the family for several generations as a first and middle name, and this is where it probably originated.
