Bill’s Family: Ancestors of Eldora Beahm |
||
| These pages are a compilation of my work and that of others. You are welcome to use anything on this page, but be aware that although I have been as careful and accurate as possible, I am not a professional genealogist. I have been working on our genealogy for over 25 years, and started the website in 2005. Some of the lines I have researched myself; some, especially on Rita’s side, we inherited the research of other family members over the past 75 years. Still, the majority of these pages are limited to compilations from published books and what I could find on the internet. The target audience was and remains our family, so the family pages are limited to our own ancestors. I have set it up so that each page is one set of ancestors, with their descendants. For the most part I have limited my scope to their great-grandchildren (second cousins to us); in some cases I list sources which may continue further. | HOME | |

31276. Francis Bushnell was born probably sometime around 1580 in England, and died about 1646 in Guilford (New Haven) Connecticut. He married in May 1605 in Sussex, England,
31277. Ferris Quenell. Ferris was born probably sometime around 1580 in England.
Bushnell origins are uncertain. Some have it as a locational name, coming from Bossall in Yorkshire; or an
occupational name deriving from the Norman Boissel, a corn-seller; some have it as Dutch in origin, from a wood-seller.
Quenell is supposed to be from the Anglo-Saxon personal name Cwenhild, meaning a warrior woman.
Francis and Ferris had nine children:
