  • Bushnell Family Genealogy, 1945
    BUSHNELL FAMILY GENEALOGY Ancestry and Posterity of FRANCIS BUSHNELL (1580 - 1646) of Horsham, England And Guilford, Connecticut Including Genealogical Notes of other Bushnell Families, whose connections with this branch of the family tree have not been determined. Compiled and written by George Eleazer Bushnell Nashville, Tennessee 1945 Bushnell Genealogy 1 The sudden and untimely death of the family historian, George Eleazer Bushnell, of Nashville, Tennessee, who devoted so many years to the completion of this work, necessitated a complete change in its publication plans and we were required to start anew without familiarity with his painstaking work and vast acquaintance amongst the members of the family. His manuscript, while well arranged, was not yet ready for printing. It has therefore been copied, recopied and edited, However, despite every effort, prepublication funds have not been secured to produce the kind of a book we desire and which Mr. Bushnell's painstaking work deserves. His material is too valuable to be lost in some library's manuscript collection. It is a faithful record of the Bushnell family, more complete than anyone could have anticipated. Time is running out and we have reluctantly decided to make the best use of available funds by producing the "book" by a process of photographic reproduction of the typewritten pages of the revised and edited manuscript. The only deviation from the original consists in slight rearrangement, minor corrections, additional indexing and numbering. We are proud to thus assist in the compiler's labor of love. We are most grateful to those prepublication subscribers listed below, whose faith and patience helped make George Eleazer Bushnell's book thus available to the Bushnell Family.

ROBERT JAMES GRAVES (1796-1853)* - A BIOGRAPHY DAVID A. CLARK, B.Sc., MEDS '50 Introduction: It is written in the Holy Book that we should "praise famous men and our fathers that be gat us". This evening seems a not inappropriate time for remembrance and reflection on a celebrated Irish clinician and physician, Dr. Robert James Graves, who can take his place rightly in the list of the fathers of Medicine (Sydenham, Fothergill, Haggarth, Huxham, Cullen, Gregory, Frank) and who had the rare privilege of leading the advance of the modern school of practical medicine in Ireland. For one brief period - hardly exceeding a third of a century - the medical schools of Western Europe and America looked to Dublin for a model. Padua, Montpellier, Leyden, Edinburgh, Paris - each in succes­ sion had been the Mecca of Medicine; for a short space of time D ublin, too, was to have her turn amongst holy places.
