Brushell, John

Eastern Pequot tribal member John Brushell was the son of Moses and Sylvia Brushell of North Stonington, Connecticut.  As a child, when his father was at sea, the tribe's state-appointed overseer provided funds for Brushell's keeping in 1831.  After that entry, the record is silent for him for forty years.  He next appears on a tribal roster in 1873.
