In 1831, they moved to Callaway County, MO, and in the following year he served in the Black Hawk War. In 1841 he was appointed US Marshal of the District of Missouri, which included the Indian Country. In May 1846, near Independence MO, he joined a wagon train of California emigrants, among whom was Edwin Bryant later the author of What I Saw in California (1848). He was elected Captain of the Company. At Fort Laramic he was displaced, and with Bryant and seven others he continued the journey on mule back by way of Fort Bridger to the site of the future Salt Lake City, and then across the Great Salt Desert, the first to follow Fremont's track of the year before. He arrived at Sutter's Fort on Sept 1, and proceeded to Yerba Buena and Monterey. Russell joined Fremont's California Battalion with the rank of Major, and was one of the peace commissioners who framed the treaty of Calucaga, Jan 13, 1847. Fremont a few days later appointed him secretary of state. On the downfall of Fremont's administration in March Russell left for the east by way of Santa Fe, reaching the Missouri settlements in July and thence going to Washington where he was one of Fremont's principal witnesses in the court martial, which began in November. In 1849 he returned to California and practised law until 1854. Later he went east again and in 1861 was appointed consul at Trinidad, Cuba. In 1865 he returned to the States and died in Washington DC.

Note:
Josephine Russell Erwin Clay, was one of the first significant woman thoroughbred horse breeders in America and a writer. Prior to the Civil War, Andrew Eugene Erwin and wife Josephine had three daughters. During the war, Erwin served in the Confederate Army, rising to the rank of Colonel and commanding of the 6th Missouri Infantry Regiment. In 1863 Josephine Erwin brought the couple's nine year old daughter Lucretia (Lula), to join Andrew Erwin who was part of the force defending Vicksburg. Andrew Erwin was killed in the Battle of Vicksburg, one week before the end of the Union siege. On July 18, 1863, the pregnant Josephine Erwin met with General Ulysses S Grant to obtain passes allowing Lula and her to return to Missouri. Josephine Erwin bore her fourth daughter in 1864, but the girl died shortly after her birth.
The Clay family invited her and her three surviving daughters to move to Lexington, Kentucky and supervise the household of John Morrison Clay, Henry Clay's youngest son a bachelor. John had inherited a portion of his father's estate, Ashland. To distinguish John's lands from Ashland proper which went to his brother James Brown Clay, John's farm was variously called Ashland-on-the-Tates Creek-Pike, Ashland Stock Farm, and Ashland Stud.
Josephine and John were married in 1866. They had no children, but poured their time and energy into training and racing horses for about twenty years. John Clay traveled the racing circuit throughout the East, South, and Midwest. Josephine ran Ashland Stud. Their famous race horses included Skedaddle, Survivor, Star Davis, Sauce Box, Squeeze'em, and Victory. In 1873, the thoroughbred Victory (Vic) was bought by General George Armstrong Custer, who rode him at the Battle of Little Big Horn in 1876. It is believed Vic died in the battle.
Following her husband's death in 1887, Josephine Clay focused on breeding and selling yearlings. She inherited from John Clay twelve brood mares, all descendants of Henry Clay's brood mares, Magnolia and Margaret Wood. Through 1900, Josephine clay built her stock to more than fifty brood mares and two stallions and gained recognition as the first woman to own and operate a successful thoroughbred horse farm. She gained national recognition when Riley, a horse she had bred won the 1890 Kentucky Derby.
In 1903 Josephine Clay dispersed her Stock due to her failing eyesight and new laws in New York and other states prohibiting betting on horses.
Among her writings were John Logan, Some Little of the Angel Still Left, Uncle Phil, and her last work, The Sport of Kings, a group of racing stories.
She died at her home and is interred at Lexington Cemetery. She was a Patriot, a Suffragist, a Musician, and a scientific gardener.
