That family moved away from Brundall after 1615 and we need to find out where they went. There are lots of historical reasons to think that they are different:The land that Francis and Mary lived on in Fairfield was hiswife's inheritance, and although there is record of Rachel Brundish's selling her home lot in Wethersfield there is no record of Francis ever owning land. Francis certainly wasn't living in Fairfield when he got married, and hisbride was very young, so the logical conclusion is that Francis knew the Brundish family well for a period of time before they married and he had to have been living near them ie at Wethersfield.If Francis was born in 1595 he was getting pretty long in the tooth by thetime he got married, about at the end of life expectancy. Doesn't makesense that the Brundishes would marry their daughter to an old guy whodidn't own anything. However if he was born about 1615 he'd be a teenager and would be living with theBrundish family in 1636/37 when they went to Wethersfield from MA so he didn't need to own land and wouldn't leave any records. Goodreason to give one of the lots that John Brundishhad bought to the young couple as a dowry. I suspect that he may have been an orphan or came over to help the Brundishes, either way his parents knew the Brundishes in England. Just more guesses, but I think theymake more sense. Can hardly wait to get a DNA link to England!Alec
