Hi Martha > Martha Bushnell b 12 Aug 1718 at Saybrook, > daughter of Ephriam Bushnell & Anne Hill. I descend from her sister Sarah who married Jonathan Parker. >Martha's father, Ephriam Bushnell, b 15 Feb 1648, is said to be the son of >William (Jr.) of Saybrook and Rebecca Stratton Feb. 15, 1648 is the birth date of William, not Ephraim. Ephraim was born Feb. 14, 1675. >My cousin's notes also list two generations of Francis Bushnell -- perhaps >that's the problem? >Francis b circa 1580 at Thatcham Co. Berks, England d 1646 in Guilford >married Ferris Quenell 13 May 1605 at Horsham England. >Came to Fair Haven Conn July 1639 on ship St. John, This is correct. Francis Sr. was one of the founders of Guilford. >Yet in her other notes it says Lt William Bushnell Sr. emmigrated on the >"Planter" with brothers Richard and Francis Jr. to Salem, Mass. He was in >Guilford in 1639, in Saybrook in 1648 as a carpenter. I don't have the ship William came in on, but Francis Jr. did come on the Planter in 1635. I don't have the exact date he came to Guilford, but it was prob. around 1639 to meet his father. I have more biographical info if you want it. >Also, she does not have parents for Rebecca Chapman, who married Lt William >Bushnell at Saybrook about 1643. Her notes have Rebecca born at Hull, England >and died at Saybrook, but no dates. I have: CHAPMAN, Robert b: 1591 in , , England d: January 11, 1619/20 in Kingstown, Yorkshire, Eng +Rebecca b: 1592 in Of, Hull, Yorks, England d: Abt. 1673 I hope this helps some.
