John Roads Russell, born John Russell was one of Capt. John Selman’s Co., in Col. John Glover’s Twenty-first Regiment. He claimed while living, that he was with General Henry Knox and Capt. Wm. Blackler in the boat that ferried General Washington across the Delaware the night before the battle of Trenton. He did the rowing.
A bronze statue of him was Massachusetts’ contribution to the Trenton Battle Monument, adorning the west side of the entrance. Gov. Wm. E. Russell in presenting it, said “The bronze statue of a soldier of that Marble-head regiment, the contribution of Massachusetts to this monument, commemorates their valor.” The President of the Battle Monument Association, W. S. Stryker, in his address, says, “Col. John Glover and his magnificent Marblehead regiment of seafaring men did inestimable service in guarding the army over the dark and angry river.”
