Hope it's acceptable to all concerned, I am jumping in on the BUSHNELL line too. My HUNTINGTON line descends from Frances Bushnell b. abt 1601 m. Thomas HOSMER; their dau Hester m. Thomas BUCKINGHAM; their son Thomas m. Margaret GRISWOLD; their dau Mary m. Solomon HUNTINGTON. Another BUSHNELL connection: Marie Mary MARVIN d/o Mathew Martin and Elizabeth Gregory who was married #1 to Richard BUSHNELL. It is from her #2 marriage to Thomas Adgate that connects back to BUCKINGHAM/HUNTINGTON lines. I am just beginning my BUSHNELL research. I know nothing about the early BUSHNELLS- Frances' parentage, etc. I find the current info exchange very interesting. Any help is welcome since I have found some confusion in my BUSHNELL search so far. Thank you.
