Gilbert was born 1753; he married Sabrina Seymour; Gilbert died 1831. Their only child Mary Emeline Bush b.abt 1800 would marry Gershom (Gershum or Jethru in some records) Bulkley 7 Dec 1823 at Christs Church, Rye, New York.
Sabrina Seymour is the great-granddaughter, through her mother, of John Lyon-80 (1655-1736). As Gilbert is also a great-grandson, through his own mother, of the same John Lyon, they were in fact 3rd cousins.
The Seymour family in America is descended from Thomas Seymour-134 who arrived in Norwalk, Connecticut from Sawbridgeworth, England in 1639 at age 6, with his parents.
