Hope it's acceptable to all concerned, I am jumping in on the BUSHNELL line
too. My HUNTINGTON line descends from Frances Bushnell b. abt 1601 m.
Thomas HOSMER; their dau Hester m. Thomas BUCKINGHAM; their son Thomas m.
Margaret GRISWOLD; their dau Mary m. Solomon HUNTINGTON. Another BUSHNELL
connection: Marie Mary MARVIN d/o Mathew Martin and Elizabeth Gregory who
was married #1 to Richard BUSHNELL. It is from her #2 marriage to Thomas
Adgate that connects back to BUCKINGHAM/HUNTINGTON lines. I am just
beginning my BUSHNELL research. I know nothing about the early BUSHNELLS-
Frances' parentage, etc. I find the current info exchange very interesting.
Any help is welcome since I have found some confusion in my BUSHNELL
search so far. Thank you. Florence Allen Hunstein
