NOTE: This is a TEMPORARY WEBSITE ONLY, and is meant as a stopgap until the Main Website has been updated. Some of the notes are incomplete and many of the links will not work. There is still much data to add and conflicts to settle.This tree has been compiled with the help of many contributors. Sincere thanks to all, and apologies to those whose information has not yet been added.
I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist. Individuals with uncertain details have a (see notes) label attached to their name.
If photos exist, they will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. Scrapbooks can only contain a limited amount of text so I am now adding more presentable feature pages containing notes, photos and links. These pages are shown to the right of their Scrapbooks, but are presently very few. NOTE: The Main Menu (Top Left) will not work when you are in a scrapbook. You will have to use your browser's BACK button to exit or use the "Exit Scrapbook" link below or here.
Details and photos of individuals labelled as living are automatically filtered out of the Tree, however a separate list is available here for living people who have permitted or asked for their details to be published.
If you do find errors, conflicts or would like to update your line please let me know. Webmaster

(Hutton's Edinburgh)
James Russell, the son of Professor James Russell and his wife Margaret Balfour, was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh) in 1777. As a member of the Philosophical Society he was a founding Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, which he served as Vice-President. He practised as a surgeon in the city, becoming President of the College of Surgeons in 1796-1797. Through his own initiative he became the first Regius Professor of Clinical Surgery, a position he held from 1803-1833. Hutton was a friend of both James Russells, father and son, and it was the son who, as his doctor, attended Hutton on his death bed (Playfair, 1805, p.88)...... "The mother of Joseph Black [1728-1799], and the mother of James Russel [senior (d.1773)], late Professor of Natural Philosophy in the University of Edinburgh, were sisters; and the mother of Adam Ferguson was their aunt" (Ferguson, 1805, p.102). Ferguson goes on to say that as a student in Edinburgh, "he [Black] as well as Adam Ferguson, lived with their relation James Russel., whose singular correctness, and precision of thought, in various branches of science, could not fail to be of use to all who approached him" (op.cit. p.103). Although we do not know Professor Russel’s date of birth, he was not a Professor when Ferguson and Black were students. Russel, in fact, was the unsuccessful candidate for the Chair in 1759 when Ferguson was elected, and in 1764, when Ferguson moved to the Chair of Moral Philosophy, Russel (a surgeon-apothecary) succeeded him in Natural Philosophy, holding this Chair until his death in 1773. Little is known about him other than that Hutton and Franklin were his friends, and that about 1771 Dugald Stewart was one of his students.
Ferguson says that Russel was a "relation", without telling us what the relationship was. According to Sir William Ramsay, however: "In 1751 Black went to Edinburgh to finish his medical studies [under Professor William Cullen], and lived with his first cousin, Mr James Russell, Professor of Natural Philosophy there, whose mother, a Miss Gordon, was sister to Black’s mother" (William Ramsay, 1918, p.17, italics added). In this paper, genealogical tree 4, relating Ferguson, Black, and Russell, depends upon on the accuracy of these statements.
