Robert Charles Anderson reports John Brundish's origin is unknown. However, Brundish family researcher Perry Streeter makes a cogent case for his origin and the surname of his wife based upon an examination of parish records detailed herein. Therefore, we attach Streeter's proposed parents here and mark them as uncertain
Anderson estimates his birth date as c. 1604, based on his estimated date of marriage. The surname is seen spelled both Brundish and Brundage with Brundish becoming the more common spelling which is used by Anderson in the Great Migration series[1]
Doherty, preferring the surname spelling "Brundage,"[2] in his Settlers of Beekman Patent, ... cites Families of the Colonial Town of Philipsburgh by Grenville C. MacKenzie (1966) and reports that John was born c. 1585 at Ipswich, England (no parents mentioned) and married c. 1620 to Rachel, daughter of James and Naomi (Cook) Hubbard of Mendleson, Suffolk Co, England.[2]
Perry Streeter, long-time Brundish family researcher, believes John somewhat older than Anderson's estimate and shows his christening on 5 June 1593 at Rattlesden Parish, Suffolk, England a son of Thomas Brundish who married, on 30 August 1584 at Rattlesden Parish, to Anne "Agnes" Tompson, daughter of Robert and Agnes (Raynolde) Tompson.[3][4] There is currently no definitive documentation that the John Brundish christened 1593 in Rattlesden, Suffolk is the John Brundish who marries Rachel and arrives in the Colonies. Streeter creates a plausible scenario for this but it remains unproven.
