The background to S&B is a story of Opium and Empire, and a bitter struggle
for political control over the new US republic. Samuel Russell, 2nd cousin
to Bones founder William Russell, established Russell & Co. in 1823. Its
business was to acquire opium from Turkey and smuggle it into China, where
it was strictly prohibited, under armed protection of the Brithish Empire.
What's deep is the gang of thugz who did this prior to S&B was created by
Thomas Handasyd Perkins of Newburyport, Massachusetts, and they went by the
name "Blue Bloods". Ring a coincidence that the negro version of gangz
adopted both the color of "Blue" -- for crips; and "Blood" for the other
gang that wears red?!

....
Most members are from the eastern seaboard of the US. As late as 1950, only
3 members resided in LA, whereas a large number lived in the New Haven,
Connecticut area. The family weed (not tree) of S&B is truly from the
history of wickedness. Rev. Nodiah Russell was one of the first 10-12 men
who founded Yale University in 1701 along with Rev. James Pierpont. Nodiah
had a son, William, who married James daughter, Mary. James other daughter,
Sarah then married Jonathan Edwards who was president of Princeton
University (then called College of New Jersey). William and Mary had 2 sons,
Nodiah and Samuel who both had sons, Matthew Talcott Russell and Captain
John Russell. William Huntington Russell, founder of S&B was the son of
Matthew; and Samuel Russell who founded Russell Manufacturing Company and
president of Middlesex County Bank was the offspring of Capt. John.

Sarah and Jonathan had 3 children, Pierpont, Esther and Mary. Pierpont was
made master of Connecticut Masons by the British Army then occupying New
York in 1783. He had a son, Henry, who was governor of Connecticut (1833,
1835-38) and protector of Samuel Russell's opium-financed enterprises.

Esther married then president of Princeton, Aaron Burr, Sr. They had a son,
Aaron Burr, Jr., who was vice president of the US (1801-05) and a Wall
Street lawyer, who became known for killing Alexander Hamilton in a duel in
1804. He was acquitted of treason in 1807, but wanted for murder, so he fled
to England until his return to the US in 1812.

Mary married Major Timothy Dwight who had 2 sons named Theodore and Timothy.
Theodore protected Russell's opium enterprise along with his cousin Aaron
Burr, Jr. Timothy became president of Yale from 1795-1817.

Forced out of the lucrative Afrikan slave trade by US law and Caribbean
slave revolts, leaders of the Cabot, Lowell, Higginson, Forbes, Cushing and
Sturgis families had married Perkins' siblings and children. The Perkins
opium business had made a fortune and established power over these families.
By the 1830s, the Russell's bought out the Perkins and made Connecticut the
primary center of the US opium racket. Massachusetts families (Coolidge,
Sturgis, Forbes and Delano) joined Connecticut (Alsop) and New York (Low)
smuggler-millionaires under Russell Trust. By 1856, Russell Trust
Incorporated their open pirte emblem -- the skull and cross bones.
