He was admitted freeman 1690, died Aug 13, 1692. References: Meade's Hist. of Greenwich, Conn., 315; Sewall's Hist. of Woburn, Mass, 595; Smith's Hist. of Dutchess County, N.Y., 125; Phenix's Whitney Family, Conn, vol I, 274; Savage's Gen Dict. vol. I, 281. I have found that names are sometimes misread because of the handwriting in the original documents. Do you think Brush could be Bruce? His wife's name is the same. Good luck.

Brush is Bruce; it was later 'changed' to Bruce............ Carol
