John Russell was the first son of Sir Francis Russell, 2nd Baronet; he was first a Royalist, but afterwards a colonel of foot under the Parliamentary general the Earl of Manchester,〔Wood in his Fasti, says thus of the baronet Russell, who married the protector's daughter, but calls him Sir Francis, instead of Sir John, so query, whether this belongs to the father or the son.(Noble (p.329 ))〕 and distinguished himself at the battle of Marston-Moor, and in the protector's wars in Ireland and Flanders.〔Mark Noble says "sir John Russell, was () the mr. Russell, appointed with others, to be arbitrators about the differences between the commonwealths of England and Holland, and the ships each nation claimed."(Noble (p.329 ))〕 He enjoyed the office of chamberlain of Chester during these times, and probably many others of consequence; he died in 1669, and was buried at Chippenham, March 24, in that year.〔Noble (p.329 )〕 John Russell married Frances, youngest daughter of the Protector Oliver Cromwell, and widow of Lord Robert Rich, predeceased son of Robert Rich, 3rd Earl of Warwick.〔Other sources suggest that she married Sir John Russell, 4th Baronet〕 She long survived Sir John, spending the latter part of her life with her sister Lady Fauconberg; though she had so great a jointure from her first husband, she was a great misfortune to the Russell family, having dissipated the greatest part of the very fine estate at Chippenham. Sir John and Lady Frances had three sons and two daughters:〔Noble, p.330〕 #Sir William Russell, 4th Baronet (c.1660–1725) #Christian Russell (d. 1669), died young #Elizabeth Russell (1664–1733), married Sir Thomas Frankland, 2nd Baronet of Thirkelby.〔Burke (p. 880 )〕 #Maj.-Gen.
