Richard Bushnell biography
I have a book on the HOFFMAN-MANNING-SIMMONS FAMILIES OF NEW YORK, and in it was some information on the BUSHNELL surname. I will post the information from the book in hopes that it will help someone researching this surname.
BUSHNELL, Richard, was living in Saybrook, Connecticut and married 11 October 1648 Mary MARVIN who was born in England in 1629. She was daughter of Mathew Marvin, one of the first settlers of Hartford, Connecticut, who came to this country from England in 1635. The Marvin's settled in and died in Norwalk, Connecticut. Mrs. Mary Marvin BUSHNELL married (2 )Deacon Thomas ADGATE and had 2 daughters, Elizabeth and Hannah. Hannah married Samuel Lathrop.

Bushnell to America1635
Note on first Bushnell to United States
(Richard): Richard, if our surmise is correct, came to New England with his brothers in 1635 when he was about 12 or 13 years old. It is probable that he resided with his brother Francis in Salem, Massachusetts until their removal to Connecticut, by way of Long Island, but not liking the place, they came over to Guilford.
It is possible that Richard was with John Winthrop's garrison at Saybrook Fort under Lyon Gardiner, during the Pequot War.
