This incorrectly ties Andrew Russell to Ireland, when he was clearly related to William Russell of Stafford. William Russell and the Beverly family had numerous business affiliations, were related, and this explains Andrew's residence at Beverly Manor. Andrew Russell was related to Colonel William Russell of Stafford. Someone has incorrectly assumed that because there were Irish at Beverly Manor, that Andrew must obviously have been Irish, when there are absolutely no records for him besides the ones for Augusta County. Andrew was an Englishman.
