Onthe 1/15/1637-8, he was paid7s 4d for glassing the meeting house windows anda year later, on 4/15/1639, was received as a member of the town, where three months later, on 4/15/he made application for a land grant. Nothing further is known of him until he appears in Boston, Mass where on 2/1/1648/49 he made a sale of merchandise to Francis Knight of Pemaquid, N.E. for which he was to be paid in beaver skins, witnesses by a note, "I, Francis Knight of Pemaquid ---to pay---John Bushnell of Boston ---L4 15s 3d --on demand in beaver skins---as witness my hand this 2/1/1648. On 12/10/1650 he appears as a witnessin Boston, at which time he was aged about 40, and about 1655 he bought a piece of property on Dock Square, 131/2 ft. wide and 50 ft. deep, near Bendalls Dock, on the site of the present 3 and 4 Dock Square, in sight of the famous Faneuil Hall, where he built a small house, which, about 1752, was torn down to make room for a larger building to be erected on this and adjoining property, having stood nearly a century. On 12/29/1657, he and a Mr. Glover weregranted permission to solicit funds for the repair of the town pump and well, and in the will of John Ruggles, whose estate was inventoried 9/20/1658, heis mentioned as "Glazier Bushnell" due for glass, he is also mentioned in the will of Robert Buttoms.

Administration. was granted to his widow, but she had moved from the jurisdiction of the Court soon after his death, having gone to Saybrook, Connecticut, where on 4/14/1670, she married John Hill. She took her youngest son, William with her who died there 8/31/1684, but evidently lefther other children in Boston, where the town records show an order to Goodwife Alexander to deliver the daughter of widow Bushell to Hope Allen to relieve the town from charge thereby. On 9/14/1685, a second Admination. was grantedto his son John, of full age, for himself, his sister and the child of a dec'd sister. John Bushnell, the father must have changed his occupation some time before his death, for William Sewell in his diary, commenting on the action of the court, under date, " Monday, 14 Dec. 1685" writes "Something of Bushnell, the barber relating to his estate was now done. He died in 1667, about the same time as Mr. Wilson did as I remember" The son John also calls his father a barber in his deed to Sampson Stoddard for the property on Dock Square, "I,John Bushnell, once of Boston, cordwainer, the only son of John Bushnell, once of Boston, barber dec'd and guardian of Sarah Covell, the daughter of Richard Covell by Sarah, his wife, and Richard English of the same place, butcher; and I, Jane his wife, daughter of the said John Bushnell, dec'd ----convey to Sampson Stoddard, the house and land of John Bushnell dec'd" Thebirths of all the children of John and Jane Bushnell are shown in the BostonRecords, except that of his son, John Administrator of his estate.
