(:-) Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, Vol IV , p 124 "SMITH JONATHAN, Wethersfield, s. of Richard the first of the same, made freem. 1657, m. 1 Jan. 1664, Martha, d. of Francis Bushnell, prob. had sev. ch. bef. rem. to Middletown, where he had Gershom, b.

I think that Harold Walden, who runs the Middlesex County GenWeb page, also has Jonathan's wife as Martha Bushnell. Jane
