General Notes: Husband - Richard Bushnell

---

He came to New England with his brothers, Francis and William, in 1635, when he was 12 years old. It is probable that he resided with his brother Francis in Salem, Massachusetts, until their removal to Guilford, Connecticut. The statement that he was one of John Winthrop's garrison at Saybrook Fort under Lyon Gardiner, during the Pequot War, fixes the date of the arrival of the brothers in Connecticut.
He died either at Norwalk or Saybrook between the date of his will, 1 Dec 1659 and the date of the inventory of his estate 17 July 1660.

He removed from Guildford to Saybrook probably immediately after the burning of Saybrook Fort in 1647, when his services as a carpenter were in great demand.
He died at Saybrook in 1658, leaving a widow and four small children.

General Notes: Wife - Mary Marvin

---

Her first husband died at Saybrook in 1658, leaving her with four small children. She subsequently remarried and removed with the company; then going from Saybrook founded Norwich in 1660, where she later died. The four children of her first marriage were also removed to Norwich, but whether they continued to live with their mother and step-father or were cared for by her sister is not clear. The two sons, Joseph and Richard, though minors at the time of the settlement, are reckoned among the original or first class planters.
