Died: 1658Francis died in October of 1658. Probate documents exist in CT archives. There was a "great sickness" in Fairfield at that time so a number of people died. Mary Brundish was christened 10 Dec 1628; not birth date. She did not have a middle name Elizabeth. The Elizabeth part seems to have originated with the book on Fairfield history "Historie of Fairfield" Vol 1 1889 p 324-326 by Elizabeth Hubbel Schenk, who got the date right but added to the name. The christening record appears in Partridge's transcription of the St. Mary Elm parish documents, but it does not appear on the microfiche or microfilm of the parish record book. Transcriptions include loose pages and other material that are part of the church records but that may not be part of the book that is photographed. Mary had a brother James christened at the same church. The church is still actively used and is located on Elm street (hence the name) in the southwestern corner of downtown Ipswich. Some of the inner door is said to date from Norman times. The use of two given names is very rare before the mid 1700's. Her family name was Brundish, but it became corrupted through phonetic spelling to Brundage by the time her brother's children were adults, and has been Brundage ever since.
