My thanks to you, Bruce.

Eusebius Bushnell and his wife Boridel Latimer had brought their family with
them when they left Connectcut. They migrated down thru Tennessee, stopped
off for some time (as he wrote letters back to some people in CN, praising
the country), and bought and sold land (found in records of TN). His wife
died in TN, and he continued on to New Orleans, LA, later remarrying a woman
in New Orleans. He ended up in Spanish West Florida, where he died about
1805.
His children settled around New Orleans.
Ezra, his son, married Clarissa Mills, and they had several children
(appears they may have lived around Evangeline Parish near the Rapids Parish
line). Through this line came the 2 gr.grandsons of Eusebius Bushnell, who
were killed in the Civil War. These 2 Bushnell brothers were born and raised
in Louisiana. My gr.grandmother was their sister!
