Vorce, and Jane Ann Corbin, his wife. Mr. Sunderlin having received the name by which he is now known, by adoption, his mother having died when we was but three months old. Married August 19, 1855, at Pitsstown, N. Y., Harriet A. Penney, b. April 23, 1832, at Pittstown, N. Y., daughter of Edward Penney, and Amanda Townsend, his wife. Mrs. Sunderlin died June 14, 1899.

In the speech Russell addressed at a Masonic Temple in 1913 he stated he had some friends who were Francmasons. So it seems Sunderlin might be one of them. http://www.tjdefendidos.org Spanish defense of JWs |
