"William² Bushnell (Francis¹) … was married about 1643 and, according to an ancient document held by the Bushnell family but not now obtainable, to a sister of Robert^'Chapman whose name is generally believed to have been Rebecca, though proof of that, the date of their marriage, or her death are not now in evidence."
"The inventory of the estate of William² (Bushnell) was presented to the New London court on November 24,1683, and administration was granted to his older sons, … No wife was mentioned in the settlement, she, doubtless, having died previously."
