Most Churchi(e)lls today are descent from four different branches of Churchi(e)lls. The first was our own Josiah Churchell who was in Wethersfield as early as 1637. Some claim John Churchill of the Plymouth branch was first, however the Plymouth branch of Churchills were not in America until 1648. Next came William Churchall branch of Manhattan, NY and the Virginia branch. If Josiah, John or William Churchill were brothers or related is not known, nor has it been proved yet today that they even knew each other. To set the record straight, we are not related to the famous Winston Churchill line as many would like to believe. We are descended from Josiah Churchell of Wethersfield, Connecticut and his wife Elizabeth Foote. As of today we still have not found proof of parents of Josiah or where he is from..
Josiah or Josias Churchell as he spelled his name, was born in England about 1615, was in Wethersfield early but not among the first settlers. He must have come to Wethersfield at an earlier date and was living there in 1638 when he married Elizabeth Foote daughter of Nathaniel Foote and Elizabeth Deming who were among the founders of Wethersfield. The following is our direct lines from Josiah to Jotham Churchill my maternal gg grandfather who was in Minnesota by summer of 1857.

Looking abck, they saw the smoke from their log cabin as the Indians burned it.

In Aug 1884, he wrote N.W. Churchill a long letter, which gave much information about his uncles and brothers, but very little about himself. He says he was married a second time, but does not mention the second wife's name or that of his youngest daughter, nor that of his son, his only child by his second wife. He was living in 1884 with Mrs. Ferguson Janesville, Black Hawk, IA (ICH: Silas was listed with daughter Mrs. Robert Fairburn in 1885 Iowa state census) the following seems to be Silas Churchill above.
