History of Richmond County, New York, 1887
Bush Family
This name, written Bosch in the Dutch records, is found here early in the last century. This family was never very numerous nor prominent, consequently the notices of its members are very few.
Joshua, or Josiah, had a son Samuel, baptized 1706; Nicholas and Elizabeth Drinkwater had the following children: Edward, baptized November 24, 1728; Barent, baptized September, 1734; Nicholas, baptized July 13, 1740. Garret had a daughter Mary, baptized September 30, 1787, and a daughter Elizabeth, baptized August 30, 1789. Joseph and Mary Johnson were married December 10, 1792. Lambert and Mary Stillwell were married January 27, 1795. The family name, though not as old as some others on the island, was in the province at an early date. Among the emigrants who came over in the ship "Fox" in August, 1662, we find the name of Jan Bossch from Westphalen.
There was another family of this name descended from John Bush, an Englishman, who fought at Bunker Hill on the side of the Americans, and subsequently took up his residence on Staten Island, where he married, and had at least one son, whose name was William, who was the father of the late Mr. John Bush, of Watchogue, Northfield, and of Mrs. S.D. Kennison, of West New Brighton.
