small polishing wheel with his docked tail on the end of
the working beam.
They all flouted him as they
tapped on his log racing sled as a short refrain in the
song.
The Beginnings
From genealogy research, I discovered that I came from
German, English and possibly French ancestry.
As I looked back
and swepted up the past for the Leesleys, the Jones,
the Majors and the Beaman's, I found that my great
grandmother was a Budong and married a Jones and
that was the name in my ancestry that I could follow
back many generations.
In fact so many records were available that I could
follow the names all the way back to 1640's.
Little information was known about "Francis Budlong" my
oldest known ancestor. Family legends suggest that
he was a Hyguenot refugee from France who first came to
England and changed his name from Bourdillon or
Boutelogne. He and his parents probably worshipped
there new faith in secrect as to not be persecuted
during the French Resoration period when the Catholics
were killing the prodecents. tt to avoid the persecution
and death. He somehow found his way via a short
stay in England to Warwick, Road Island, the most
liberal of the new colonies in America. ,On a
grainite monument at the Brayton Cemetery in Apponaug,
the story begins. It states that Francis was born in
1641. In March 19, 1969, Francis married a widow
Rebecca Lippitt They live at a lot on the eastern
portion of Warwik Neck in what is now the Longmeadow
area .Records show that Francis
Budlong became a freeman on April 30, 1672 and was
allowed to vote in the town's government. and shortly
afterword joined his neighbors to stand together against
the intrusions of Connecticut. The Budlongs became to
raise a family, at least one boy. named John Budlong.

Experiences

"When our individual interests and prospects do not seem
worth living for, we are in desperate need for something
apart from us to live for. All forms of
dedication, devotion, loyalty and self-surrender are in
essence a desperate clinging to something which might
give worth and meaning to our lives.
-- Eric Hoffer, The True Believer
(1951),
Ancestorial Origins, Genetics, Education, Work Religons,
Relationships, and Experiences contribute to bob's
essence and the Tales in Time.
