It is believe that Gabriel Pushee was colonial-born.From what I have read there is a family document 1(a) notes that the first name of whom was a record was "Gabriel Pushee of French antecedents, settled first in Ipswitch, Mass. The term "french antecedents" suggests he was not born in France. Gabriel and Sarah had a son Nathan(b. 1732) married Elizabeth Priest of Stow (1757). Their son Nathan was born in Lunenburg (1758). He was progenitor of the extensive Pushie family in Nova Scotia. Nathan had a brother David born 1760, who married Susanna Pierce and settled in New Hampshire. Pushie in the American colonial period was variously spelled Pushey, Pouchee, Pushy, Pusha, Pouchaway and most commonly Pushee. In Nova Scotia it became Pushie.
