Lot 23 and 34 (outlined in red) of Warrensville Township constituted the primary farmlands of the Jacob Russell family. In 1813, Jacob Russell purchased these township lots from Lemuel Storrs. During the period 1815-1821, which ended with his death, Jacob Russell conveyed all of these lands to his sons Elisha, Ralph and Ebenezer, and his son-in-law David Benjamin. By 1852, the year in which the above map was created, all of these lands had been transferred to the trustees for the North Union Shaker Colony. The small red "x" denoted on Lot 23 is the approximate location of Jacob Russell's grave. | Source: Shaker Historical SocietyDownload Original File
