There’s an article on George Russell in The Great Migration.14 In that article Anderson argues that George Russell of Hingham was not the George Russell who came to New England in 1635 on the Elizabeth, aged 19, from Hawkhurst, Kent. Instead, George Russell of Hingham arrived in 1636 and no further records are found from the George Russell who arrived on the Elizabeth. Furthermore, the George Russell of Duxbury was unrelated to these other George Russells.
