The surname Russell is of French origins. Spelling varients include Russel/Roussel/Rozel, but the name was originally spelled Rozel. It comes from the French word "roux" or "rous," meaning "red-haired or ruddy complexion" and is Norman French. Tom Campbell's Russell ancestry goes back to Capt James Russell, the Captain of Oliver Cromwell's army which went over to Ireland in 1649. On the invasion of England by William the Norman, (1066) Hugh de Rozel was one of his attendant barons. Hugh de Rozel fought at Hastings, and was one of the 9 founding knights of the Knights Templar. The portion of this baron was in Dorsetshire from whence he and his successors assumed the title Russells of Barwick.
His son Thomas Russell settled as a farmer in Tipperary, Ireland. Thomas Russell's son Thomas Russell was one of 4 sons that settled in Dublin. He was a plush maker. His wife was Sarah North. Prior to the Norman Conquest, Hugh de Rozel was a 26 year old warrior who took his name from an estate in Normandy, France. Rosel was the nearby village which inspired his name. Rosel was near Coen, France. Lord Hugh Rozel of Barreville was the son of William Bertrand, who was born in 1021 in Bricquebec, Normandy. William Bertrand died 28 July 1094.
The surname Spencer also derives from the Norman French, arriving in England with the Norman Conquest. It's a French name for "butler or steward." The origin of the name is derived from the French word "despensier." Spelling varients include: Russell, Russil, Russel, Roussel, Rousel. Over 60 coat of arms have been granted to the family. Many of this name in America are descended from John Russel, a 19 year old who embarked from London, England bound for Virginia aboard the ship Bonaventure in the 1600s.
