Hi multi Cuz! >Now it's my turn to be red faced! Wellll.... if this is the first time, cheer up you only have about 500+ red faces ahead of you to catch up with the number I've had. <g> > My only excuse for not seeing this earliers, is that the print in >GEB's book is quite small-- I need to use a magnifying glass when reading >it! >Also the organization (numbering of people) in GEB's book seems a bit >strange. You're not just whistling Dixie about these inconveniences and oddities with the BUSHNELL genealogy. Why in the world they compressed 4 pages on to 1 is beyond me. Talk about the "strange" numbering system is an understatement. It took me sometime to figure it out and even to this day when I look up something in it I have to refresh the old grey matter on the absurd numbering. > I >think the genealogy section in the Olympia, WA public library is pretty >good, and they DO have a copy of the work by Savage, from which I have >copied several pages-- but not (yet) the page on Jonathan Smith (who was >not in my direct line.) However, I always have a bit of difficulty in >trying to "translate" Savage's writings. (:-) I suspect you already know but incase not or for any lurkers who don't know, The complete transcription of Savages 4 volumes is on line: Gopher menu for gateway to Electronic Edition of Savage: gopher://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/11/journals/kraftpub/Genealogical Do note you have to have gopher:// and not http://. Click on Savage's Dictionary. It takes you to: gopher://ccat.sas.upenn.edu:70/00/journals/kraftpub/Genealogical/Savage%27s% 20Dictionary It is **** very very very slow **** to load but well worth the time. You can actually download the whole file and have it at your fingertips. >BTW, Martha BUSHNELL was not in my direct line, either. My direct BUSHNELL >line daughters out with Mary BUSHNELL, who ma. Elijah BRAINERD. She was the >dau. of Joseph BUSHNELL and Mary LEFFINGWELL, and the grand dau. of Richard >BUSHNELL, Mary MARVIN, Lt. Thomas LEFFINGWELL, and Mary White. I can >provide additional info. on some of these lines if any of you are >interested. Here is where are cousinships are falling all over each other. I have 2 BUSHNELL lines, 2 LEFFINGWELL, and at least 1 TRACY line. All those Norwich related families married and married and married each other. I'm surprised I have 2 legs, 2 arms, one head, 2 eyes and sense enough to come in from the rain! With all that intermarriage, the old gene pool was running mighty low! Here is a cut down skeleton descendancy chart of my 2 BUSHNELL lines. My second one comes down through Mary BUSHNELL, sister of your Joseph BUSHNELL. She married Ens. Tho. LEFFINGWELL, Jr., brother of Mary who married your Joseph!
