Prescott Bush left his firm in Ohio in 1923 and went with Stedman Products of South Braintree, MA, hence Poppy's birth subsequently in Milton. They were not previously a Massachusetts family. He moved to Greenwich, CT, shortly afterwards and future connections with MA were through his sons' attendance of prep school at Philips Andover. In a message dated 2/15/2009 8:32:38 A.M.

What he was reading said he was born in Milton. I checked the 1920 census, and didn't see a possible family for him. But, that reminded me that I would still like to find out more about the WAINWRIGHT mansion on Canton Street (?). The 1910 census has Arthur WAINWRIGHT living in a home with ~6 servants, and one was my gr-gr-grandfather, Charles W. RICE. He was the live-in gardener for the man. Charles was the youngest of 10 in a family in Lubec, Maine, and he came down as a 20-year-old possibly to work on the HUTCHINSON farm in Winchester. He married Adelaide and had 2 daughters with her and "separated" shortly after ~1880. I don't know where he lived between 1880 and 1910. When he found out he had cancer, he moved to a nephew's home in Ashland and died there in 1916. The census page shows there were at least 3 mansions on Canton Street in Milton. Were there a whole line of mansions on that street?
