    MUNSELL (Mansel, Mansell, Monsell, Monsall, Moncil, Muncil, Maunsell, Munsel).
    The first mention of the name in connection with America, is that Sir Robert Mansell, with others, in 1610, signed a "letter of the King's Council for Virginia, "for sending out supplies of men and provisions from England to that colony, which then included New England.
    The next mention is that of Robert Mansell, who emigrated on the ship “Richard and Mary” for New England, 21 June, 1679.
    There was a Jno. Monsell at Charlestown, Mass., 1675, who left issue.
    The Windsor fam. of Munsell descend from Thomas Munsell or Monsell of New London, Conn., 1681, when his name first occurs upon the record there. He was a resident, 1683, of the Great Neck, there. Whether he was related to any of the three above-named is not known; but it is quite possible that both Thomas and Jno. may have been related to Robert, who came from England, 1679.
