I recently completed participation in the BUSH Surname DNA Project and my DNA connects me to the lineage of Reynold Bush (1600-1686) who emigrated from England (Fering Parish, Essex Co.) to the Massachusetts Colony in about 1640. I have found reliable references to Reynold and his son John (d. 1663) and grandson Abiel (1661) in Cambridge, Mass. It is thought that Reynold married in England prior to emigration and his wife and mother of John was Elizabeth Clench. I would appreciate any information on Reynold's birth, baptism, marriage, emigration, possible wife E. Clench - is there an address contact with any parish/county records offices where I may follow up to get additional information? Bill Bush [email protected]
