		+	"[Footnote] Captain William Bushell, in 1635, commanding the ''Neptune'', was employed in redeeming captives at Argier. On his way home he and another captain, Thomas Scot, of Ratcliffe, were fined £500 and £100 respectively, at Dunkirk, by Admiral the Earl of Lindsey, for 'presuming to wear their flags in full view of The Fleet.' This apparently was considered an open insult to the assembled 200 ships, and was aggravated by the culprits attempting to escape. A month later the relatives of other captives ' at Argier and Sallee ' petitioned the Lords of the Admiralty to send William Bushell to redeem others after his success in bringing home thirty. He was probably sent, and next year, on the recommendation of the Trinity House, he and his ship, the ''Neptune'' (400 tons, 32 guns, and 160 men), were employed for the Navy. In spite of a dispute with his purser, in which he was condemned by the Officers of the Navy for making money out of his stores, he seems to have continued in the service of the Crown till his death, which is thus entered in the Registers : 'March 7, 1637. William Bushell, of Limehouse, mariner, died at Morbein, in France - a Captain.' He seems to have been unmarried, as he left most of his possessions to his father. - State Papers, Domestic; Stepney Registers ; Will at Somerset House. There was another Wm. B., a rope-maker, in Shadwell (see the Map), who died in 1653. - Stepney Court Rolls, Roll C."<ref>[http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924091024475#page/n171/mode/2up G.W. Hill, W.H.
