Lynn,
Lithuania was occupied by Russia from 1795 to 1918 so that's why people would have RUSSIA as their place or origin.Sometimes they might be listed as "Russia Poland" or "Poland Russia".
An emigration date of 1865 would make him one of the earliest Lithuanian immigrants to the U.S.
There is no W in the Lithuanian alphabet so he would be VICENTY or VINCENTAS (sometime VINCAS for short).For whatever reason, many men with VINCENTAS/VINCAS Americanized their given name to WILLIAM.
