Early Origins of the Bussone familyThe surname Bussone was first found in Gloucestershire where John Buzun was found in the Pipe Rolls of 1197. A few years later in Derbyshire, Thomas Bussun was found in the Liber Feodorm of 1242. And later again, John Boson, Bozon was listed in the Feet of Fines for Essex in 1536.

Migrants settled in the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands..
