Notes
This line includes a number of prominent New England families, and there is more information available on their ancestry than on many others -- but also more disputes as to the details.
The Bruen family line goes much further back than I have traced it here, including a lot of complicated intermarriage with the Holford, Bulkley, and Venables families, and reaching back into medieval rovalty.
