  • Notes 
    • From; "Francis Bushnell of Guilford, Conn. and His Descendants", p.208 we read" Francis Bushnell,"the elder",And Francis Bushnell, "Junior", most undoubted,ly father & son, were among the first settlers of Guilford. One of them signed the Plantation Covenant. Probably this was the elder. He died in 1646, and his will proved on Oct 13. Rev John Hoadley , who signed the same contract, came over in the same ship.
      On the voyage, his grandson, the famous Bishop John Hoadley,says he John) "accidently met with" Sarah Bushnell, a dau. of Francis, whom he afterwards married. Francis Bushnell Jr., probably came over in Apr 1635, in the "Planter", with his wife & infant dau. John Bushnell,the glazier, another son,came over in another vessel, the "Hopewell", in the same year. Both brothers were at Salem in 1657......
      Then it lists his six children.
