"Among the interesting records which relate to Col. Augustine Warner, Senior, and which give an interesting sidelight on the attitude toward religious matters in Virginia at that period, are the records of a Court held for York County [William and Mary Quarterly, Old Series, vol. 11, pp. 29-33] on August 26, 1661... The Court met for the purpose of taking action against the prohibited meetings of Quakers; and, more specifically, for the purpose of investigating charges against Thomas Bushrod, [See Chap. 33, Bushrod Family] one of the most prominent and well-to-do Quakers in the colony. Bushrod had been among those present on the 23rd August aboard the ship ELIZABETH, on which Col. Warner saild; and he had there gotten into an argument with Justinian Aylmer, calling the latter by various epithets and referring to the Governor, Council and Episcopal clergy in slanderous and abusive terms. Bushrod ended his calumny by defying Col. Augustine Warner 'or any others' to put a stop to the Quaker meetings. It is mentioned that during the discussion Col. Warner produced a letter mentioning the Church discipline in England, where Quakers were put to the rack. Bushrod applied to the Court to be bailed until the next Quarter Court; but the Court unanimously agreed that the charge against him was of 'soe high and dangerous a nature and concernment that hee is no way bayleable.' ."The Points of our Compass: Surveying our Ancestors: Bushrod-Hartsell-Glenn-Moss by Frances Osborn Gust and Katharine Shields Melvin, 1988.
"Thomas Bushrod, son of Richard and Dorothy W. Bushrod, was born c. 1604 in England and died 1677 in Virginia. His will, 1676/1677, was proved in York County, VA. Thomas lived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony 1634-1639 and, according to some accounts, was "unable to reconcile himself to the rules of that despotic country." He appears in Massachusetts records of 3rd 7th month 1639, "being accused of defaming the Government was convicted and fined 3 pounds, 13 shillings, 4d 'wch paying to be discharged..." Two years later he moved to the 17-year-old Virginia Colony, Northampton County, 1641-1644, then to York County, 1644-1647, where the family lived at ESSEX LODGE, the home of his wife.
ESSEX LODGE was originally Thomas Hill's seat, and was claimed by Bushrod by his marriage to Hill's widow, Mary (Piersey) Hill, mentioned in his will 1676, "kinsman of Thomas Hill, now living in my house"Thomas Bushrod first went to Massachusetts, then settled in York County, VA, and from York County he was a Burgess in the Assemblies of 1658-1659 and 1659-1660. [Journals of the House of Burgesses 1619-1659, and Colonial Virginia Register by Stanard]. He was a Puritan [a Quaker] and was at various times embroiled in difficulties with authorities in Virginia. He was twice married, one of his wives being the widow of Captain Thomas Hill, Mary [Piersey] Hill, mother of five Hill children, but he died without male issue. Mary was a Quaker. Thomas Bushrod lived at Essex Lodge, York County, VA. His will was probated in York County, VA in 1677 [Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, vol. 23].
Thomas Bushrod married second, Elizabeth [Nowell] Farlow, mother of two Farlow children. His name appears in Old Jamestown records regarding land transactions and "obstreperous" behavior.

Notes from The Points of our Compass: Surveying our Ancestors: Bushrod-Hartsell-Glenn-Moss by Frances Osborn Gust and Katharine Shields Melvin, 1988. " Two years before Virginia became a royal colony, Richard and Thomas Bushrod arrived from England. Their surname in earliest times was seen as Bushrode. Of interest is a will of one Henry Bushrode of England dated 12 September 1612 and proved 12 July 1614 in which Bushrode family connections are mentioned. Henry Bushrod mentioned Robert, William and John Bushrode, assumed to be brothers. To the daughters of John Bushrode of Tawnton, late deceased, Henry gave "twentie poundes." Sole executor of his estate is Richard Bushrod, thought to be a nephew and son of John. It is not clear whether he is THE Richard Bushrod born after 17 March 1568/9 and died 1 July 1628 at Sherborne, Dorset, England. This Richard emigrated to America for at least one year, 1622/23, where he resided with his wife, Dorothy Watts, in New England. They were parents of seven children. Of these, sons Thomas and Richard apparently remained in America when the family returned to England."NOTES: Bushrod notes provided by Juliet Fauntleroy & Bill Hailey.
