De Russy, Gustavus Adolphus, 1818-1891
De Russy was born in Brooklyn to American army officer René Edward De Russy (1789–1865) and Harriet Elizabeth Taylor (1805–1834). His father was born in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) in 1789 and his French colonial family moved as refugees to Virginia two years later, fleeing the revolution on the island. Gustavus's sister, Clara Louise De Russey (1829–1900), married William Augustus Nichols (1818–1869), who became a Brevet Maj. Gen. His sister, Emily Caroline De Russy (1831–1857), married Henry Jackson Hunt (1819–1889), who became a Brig. Gen.
After his mother's death in 1834, his father remarried to Helen Augusta Maxwell (1832–1908). Through this marriage, De Russy was the half-brother of Fanny De Russy (1857–1925), who married Eli DuBose Hoyle (1851–1921); and Sara Wetmore De Russy (1860–1926), who married Arthur Murray (1851–1925). Both brothers-in-law were also career officers, as were their sons.
