Ship Richard & Mary_ Robert Mansell
In Hottens list of emigrants to America from 1600 to 1700 published in 1874 that on July 21st 1679 Robert Mansell sailed on the ship ""RICHARD and MARY "" for New England.
It is in Nell's Virginia Company of London published in 1869 that on March 13th 1621 there was a Robert Mansell in Virginia. Whether he was any relation to the former Robert Munsell I have no means of proof.
It is in the New England Genealogical Register for 1883 that in 1675 a Jno. Munsell of Charlestowne Massachusetts was taken presoner in King Phillips Indian War in New England at Dedham Massachusetts and that he was in the same war in July 1676,
Between 1630 and 1644 a W Monsall resided at or near boston Massachusetts.
There is a tradition in the family that two or three brothers came from England to this county between 1600 and 1700 settaled some where near Connecticut or Rhode Island.
Notes by Joel Munsell
1 THOMAS MUNSELL was born about 1650
It is probable that he came from England to New London Connecticut about 1680.
In 1681 his name first occurs on record at New London Connecticut.
In 1683 he resided on the Great Neck at that place.
His name was variously spelled, Munsell, Monsell, Munsel, Muncil.
On his son Jacob's marriage record it was written Monsell which is the only instance where it has been found spelled with an o. Jacob's children's names were usually written
