But in that source I see NO Martha >BUSHNELL who ma. Jonathan SMITH. Can you cite your source? (As Mr. Leakey >would say! (:-) Go one page further, page 33 in the BUSHNELL Genealogy. Page 32 only lists their 1st 2 children. The rest of their children are listed on p. 33. Their 3rd child, #20, was Martha who married Jonathan SMITH. Here is what it says about her: George Eleazer Bushnell, Bushnell Family Genealogy, Ancestry and Posterity of Francis Bushnell (1580-1646) of Horsham, England and Guilford, Connecticut, Including Genealogical Notes of other Bushnell Families, whose connections with this branch of the family tree have not been determined (Nashville, TN: George Eleazer Bushnell, 1945), p. 33. "20. iii. Martha, b. Salem (?), Mass. abt. 1637, m. Saybrook, Conn. 1 Jan. 1663, Jonathan Smith, of Wethersfield, Conn. (R-12). Savage says they moved to Middletown, Conn. (R-9); but they were in Wethersfield on 14 Jan. 1689.: Children, 3: 20. 1. Mary Smith, 20. 11. Samuel Smith, 20. iii. Martha Smith, probably others." Also as Jane has replied Savage has her as the daughter of Francis. Martha and Jonathan's marriage can also be found in 1.Torrey, p. 685: "SMITH, Jonathan (?1635-1711+) & 2/wf Martha BUSHNELL (ca 1644-1705+); 1 Jan 1663, 1663/4; Saybrook, CT" 2. Rev. Sylvester Nash, comp., "Records of Saybrook, Ct" in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, IV (1850) (CD-ROM; Boston: NEHGS & Broderbund Software, Inc., 1996), p. 141.
