No, I couldn't find any other information.  The Busley family listed in the 1880 census is definately my ancestors. (John was my grandfather, Rosella my great aunt).   I have searched for years and found absolutely nothing else.  I could not find a death date for him, either. Although it says on Theresa's death certificate that she is a widow.   I couldn't find where he is buried, either.  She is buried in Ste. Genevieve county, I believe the name of the cemetary is Roth.   He seems to have left no trace of himself.   Beverly ************************************************************       Beverly I am not researching this specific line but I am a long time  Beasley researcher. Do you have any other info at all--there was a Louis  Emmet Beasley who are born in 1855 in Franklin Co MO but he married Hattie  Eliza James. There is another Beasley family in Ste. Genievieve County--and I found  Louis Beasley/Buseley in the 1880 Census that you mentioned: 1880 Census for Beauvais, St. Genevieve, Missouri, Page  603C: Name  Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace  Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace Louis  BUSLEY   Self   M   Male   W    24   MO   Farming   NC   MO    Thereasa E.
