BISSELL (BYSSEL).+
It is somewhat probable that the Bissell family is of Huguenot descent, many of whom fled to England to escape the persecutions which followed the massa- cre of St. Bartholomew in 1572. The family in Eng- land is but little known, and has but one coat of arms, which is of a religious, rather than a warlike character. It is thus described in Burke's Complete Armory :
" BISSELL, Gu. on a bend, ar .; three escallops, sa. Crest, a demi-eagle with wings displayed, sa .; charged on neck with an escallop shell, or."
The family of JOHN, who came to Windsor, Conn., is the only one of the . name known to have come to this country. Tradition asserts that this John, with a brother Thomas, came from Somersetshire, England, to Plymouth, in 1628. The latter died at Plymouth, or returned to England .; John came to Windsor, where he first appears about 1640.§ He here received the monopoly of the Scantic Ferry ; || was the first settler on the east side of the
* Thess families copied from Hinman.
t The BISSELL family are mainly indebted, for this record of the name, to the labors of CHARLES H. BISSELL, of East Windsor Hill, Conn. The history of the Litchfield branch was kindly furnished by Dea. H. B. BISSELL of Litchfield, Ct.
# Doubted ? There is also a tradition that he came to Windsor, and married an Indian girl, daughter of the sachem of the Poquonnoc tribe, but died without issue. This, as well as the other, is unsubstantiated, and is probably a mixed version of a similar tradition re- lating to Thomas, son of Jobn.
§ This disagress with the tradition in the family, which states 1635 as the date of his arrl- val, but agrees with the statement of Farmer, and with all the known facts.
|| Tradition preserves the following jocose ditty, with which Jobn Biesell used to call hle family :
" John, Tom, Sam and Nat, Riss, Joice, and hang on the pot."
