Robert Russell
|
Robert Russell of Dalnair was a cloth merchant in Falkirk and lived in Grahams Road. He was also an active and acquisitive landholder.
He owned lands in Seabegs and also acquired adjacent subjects at Underwood from Major –General Straton, which included the Distillery of which More was a tenant. He also owned subjects in Baillie Swords Close in Falkirk and there was a long standing family interest in the Lands of Garbethill in east Dunbartonshire, dating from 1763 and probably earlier. Robert Russell frequently acquired properties by exercise of rights deriving from Bonds in his favour following non-payment of sums due by the granters including family members who had interests in the lands, much of which reverted to Robert Russell subsequent to his lending to them and their granting Bonds in his favour for sums which they were unable to repay. Much of the material relating to family succession is complex but it is clear that Robert Russell was a successful, but hard and uncompromising, businessman, whether dealing with family members or others. The papers provide evidence of Robert Russell‘s antecedents from the beginning of the 18th Century when John Russell, son of William Russell, Woodseller in Langside, married Margaret Gilmore of the family which owned Seabegs. The Russell family also had a landholding at Garbethill in Dunbartonshire which dated from the early 18th century or before. Robert Russell married Janet Melville, daughter of Robert Melville, wood merchant in Falkirk, and there was a post-nuptial Marriage Contract Trust. The papers show some evidence of distrust and antipathy from the Melvilles, particularly A Melville, a writer in Edinburgh. Robert Russell and Janet Melville had five children: Jane Russell, John Russell, Alex Russell, Robert Melville Russell and Thomas Melville Russell. Robert Russell died in 1855. |
