Boschong Subscribers, Another Bushong from Virginia has ordered his Kit for the DNA testing. As you know it usually takes 6 to 8 weeks to get any results but sometimes they surprise us and it takes less time. Welcome aboard Richard and thanks. Gloria

Good Morning Boschong Subscribers, I received the following question: QUESTION: "What is it you are trying to say here Gloria, that Andreas Bushong who arrived in 1754 is NOT Bushong or is of a different line of Bushongs than the Lancaster Group?" ------------------------ MY ANSWER: There is absolutely nothing in my Report where I indicated that Andreas Bushong who arrived in 1754 in Delaware was not a Bushong so please don't read something into this, that isn't there. However of the 7 men who claim to descend from this Andreas, 3 are by name Bushong but not by blood Bushong. -------------------------- Not one single Bushong that still lives in Pennsylvania, never left Pennsylvania, still carries the Bushong name, has taken part in the DNA testing, so there is simply nothing to compare with to give an educated answer about the Lancaster Bushong group as opposed to the other Immigrant Andreas of 1754. ---------------------------- Gloria

Boschong Subscribers, The Clerk from Roosevelt County called this morning.

Good Beautiful Morning Boschong Subscribers, Here is the promised report on the Bushong DNA project and it is now time to set the record straight. Previous criticism has been unjust. Shame on anyone who participated. Before NOW it was pointless to report results as there were not enough participants or data to compare and give a report, although I have given a few updates on the List in the past as new people participated. This included the R1b1a2 Bosang DNA. I still do not feel that there are enough participants to report effectively but here it is. With that said, back in September of last year there was an honest mistake made when Steve Bosang and I were both NOTIFIED by FTDNA that there was a 12 for 12 DNA match with him and another participant in the FTDNA project and we both thought that meant that he matched the Bushong DNA. I now know that was not entirely the case and I am sorry to report that although there are a lot of similarities in the markers, the Bosang DNA does NOT match the Bushong DNA exactly (6 marker differences out of 37) and also is a different haplo group other then the R1a1a of the Bushongs. But some surnames married into both families. (Rush, Hanger, Stover, Maddox, Bane, Stewart, etc). so those of you that have participated in the testing may get a notice down the road to a family match as Ancestry, Family Tree and the Mormon church all combine and expand their trees and DNA findings, so be prepared if you have some of these names in your tree. The interesting news is that the Bosang haplo group matches the two men tested carrying the Bushong name that match the Mitchell DNA exactly and all have the same haplo group of R1b1a2. Under the confines of confidentiality of the specific Bushong participants and FTDNA, I am not posting the individual Y-DNA markers for the general public to see. If you e-mail me privately and ask me a specific question, I will answer it. If we had hundreds of Bushongs participating, it would be a different story. However, the Mitchell DNA project, because there are so many participants, have chosen to make their results public, and can be seen with the link below. It Lists a Bushong with Y-DNA37 of R1b1a2 with direct Mitchell matches under HAP R1b Group 14. Scroll down and you will find it . http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Mitchell/default.aspx?section=ycolorized As previously reported, the original 6 Bushongs with Hans and Andrew lineage, all resulted in R1a1a2 and match each other's DNA but the Steps of the relationship are different. More on that in another later post. Since this is an on-going project, who knows what will be discovered in the future as we go forward. As previously stated, the exact DNA markers of each Bushong participant will never be made public by me but be rest assured those participants CAN see their own results at the family tree dna website using their password. They are not being kept in the dark. But they can view those that match their own DNA and they can contact me at any time to discuss any of the results. My door is always open. This has nothing to do with my administrative skills and everything to do with the way FTDNA manages their website. So, It is totally controlled by family tree dna. I will say that again. I have NO control. It is the Lab that keeps you from seeing anyone who does NOT match your own DNA and that is why the two participants who tested Mitchell cannot see the Bushong results. I have discussed this with the two individuals and given them all the information that they need. Of the 13 participants, two were sent kits recently and both have returned their kits to the Lab, with no results provided yet. ------------------- OF THE 13 PARTICIPANTS TAKING PART: 7 Bushongs are confirmed as having matching Bushong DNA with each other and are haplo group R1a1a 2 participants carrying the Bushong name do not match the Bushong DNA and are an exact match with the Mitchell DNA and have the different haplo group R1b1a2 1 from a private Lab does not match Bushong DNA and but his DNA matches the Sisk DNA and is haplo group R1b1a2. I am in touch with him. 1 from the haplo 1b1a2, Bosang, that does not match the Bushongs, Mitchells, or Sisk. 2 participants kits have been returned to the lab with no results released yet. --------------------- OF THE 13 PARTICIPANTS TESTED: 5 participants are from the Virginia lineages (John, Henry and Peter) 7 participants are from the Kentucky lineages (Andreas) 1 participant's lineage has not yet been established and I might need help to find his roots. --------------------- Where do we go from here? There is so much more that needs to be accomplished with the DNA testing. Whether you like it or not, it is the future of Genealogy. We need to test our African American people. We need to test the Canadians. We need some of the Pennsylvania Bushongs to be tested. We need to explore other variations of the surname spelling such as Busching, Bushon, etc. I am only one person and instead of rabid criticism, it would be greatly appreciated, if you all would help with this on-going project and research to expand the horizons. Haven't you wondered why you don't look like your ancestors? Maybe they aren't your natural ancestors. DNA is very important for family blood lines as it provides medical information passed from generation to generation and may explain an unexplained medical condition in what you thought was your blood family but turns out to be adopted family. My two children are both adopted, both when just weeks old. A medical condition of my daughter, that is not in my family at all, nor Russell's, is explained by her natural blood line. I consider them both Bushongs. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Gloria Neiger Bushong DNA Project Administrator - BUSHONG

Boschong Subscribers, I found this article in an old 1855 Texas newspaper. It's anybody's guess as to which Mrs. Bushong this would be since there was a whole family in Pickens County, Alabama that moved to Texas and several of the boys were married by 1855. This article does give us a good clue as to where this family was before moving to Kaufman County by 1860. I guess if a family story was passed down through the family, that would be the only way to know. Anyone out there with a family story like this? ------------------ The Texas State Times Austin, Texas Saturday, 29 September 1855 Page 2, Column 7 A FREAK OF NATURE Mr. Editor: On the 2nd day of August 1855, in Cass County, Texas, Mrs. Bushong, late of Pickens county, Alabama gave birth to a female child having two distinct heads and faces. The heads are united at the earls, only one ear being visible between them. The eyes are blue, stand wide open, and one pair are crossed. The next is very short, the body well proportioned in length, but one third broader than usual across the chest. The heads are bare except a slight streak of hair across them from ear to ear. The child's birth was premature, supposed to have been caused by exposure in travelling to Texas. It was dead when born, and I presume may be seen at any time, at Dr. B. Y. Patterson's Cherokee settlement, Cass County, Texas (who has it preserved in alcohol) where I saw it myself, a few days ago. H. B.

Boschong Subscribers, Back in October 2009 I posted a 1917 obit for Nellie May Bushong who died in Ohio and had an "off list" discussion with some researchers about this Nellie and the last name Smith.

Obviously there was more then one Smith girl who married a Bushong since one was still alive after 1917 and I mentioned that fact back then. ----------------- How many of you know that one of the nicknames for Mary is Nellie? ------------------- See BOSCHONG Archives for March 2010 for more information on John Stout Bushong and Mary "Nellie" I.

John and Ann and everyone else, Yes, That is the other problem, the article does not give us a whole lot of information and does not say how many acres or give any type of description of the land in the article. I'm not saying that it is H. R. , I'm not saying it's I. N. and I'm not saying that it is your family. I was merely pointing out that your family was not the only Bushong out there early in the development of Arizona. In fact if you read Luther David Bushong's journal, he was there too. We don't know the lineage of H. R. Bushong other then the fact that he was born in Illinois and was a stockman and was about 50 years of age at time of death. And no he is not the son of Calvin P. Bushong and Susan Frances Copp of Clarke County, Virginia. Wrong age, wrong place of birth, etc. No one can assume anything without the Deed. So we need to see whose name is on this land sale Bushong to Reid and from Reid to Miller instead of assuming. I put a call in to an abstract company in Portales early this afternoon and she called the courthouse, talked to the clerk and when the clerk has time, she will take a quick look at the book to see whose name is on the Deed. Until then we wait as so far I have heard nothing.

Why do you think it might have belong to H. R. Bushong do you have any records indicating that he lived there? I'm just stating the odds are higher for it belonging to John S Bushong as I know he lived there from at least 1904 to 1910 and he owned at least 160 acres in Portalis, New Mexico. The Bushongs that spent some time in that area homesteading where Brothers John S Bushong, Hiram K Bushong, and James Wilson Bushong and a Lewis H Bushong (son of John S or a cousin?).

I called Roosevelt county last Friday talked to the Clerk. I asked her to tell me the name on the Deed and she told me without a almost exact date that Bushong bought the land and the exact date that Reid bought it from Bushong, she couldn't help me.

My dad's family lived in Portalis New Mexico. They herded sheap on about 160 acres. I believe that would be around 1904 because my dad was 11 yrs old and his brother was 12 1/2.

Gloria, Try the following with the Clerk, John S Bushong - June 11, 1908 Roosevelt County, New Mexico 160 acres NE 1/4 of section 19 through homesteading (Homestead Certificate No 1146). I'm not sure the following individuals got title to the following or not (but they did try homesteading) Hiram K Bushong - S 1/2 of SE 1/4 and S 1/2 of SW 1/4 of Section 1 Roosevelt County, New Mexico (Patent #273115 6-6-1912) Lewis H Bushong E 1/2 of NW 1/4 of Section 19 Roosevelt County, New Mexico (Patent #94337 12-9-1909) John

John, You may or may not be correct. Do you have a Deed that shows this property as owned by John Stout Bushong? If not, you might want to write for one. There seemed to be quite a few Bushongs in that area in the late 1890s, early 1900s including this H. R. Bushong. He then went to Kansas and then came back to Arizona. The Stanisfer gal who H. R. is living with in Kansas had family in Portales and they are buried in the cemetery there. And H. R. was a stockman so he had to have land for his cattle and horses. Also I. N. Bushong of Gladstone, Michigan, the lumber and oil man was buying large tracts of land in Arizona at this time and later selling them off, keeping the mineral rights. He might be the one that owned this property. Never assume. :) Gloria ----------------- -----Original Message----- From: John Fahey <faheyjn@gmail.com> To: boschong <boschong@rootsweb.com> Sent: Mon, Apr 29, 2013 5:46 pm Subject: Re: [BOSCHONG] Bushong Land Transaction in Portales, New Mexico - 1912 This is probably land that was owned by John Stout Bushong as he was in Portales, New Mexico around that time.

Gloria, Since your post doesn't include a description of the land I'm not sure which Bushong owned the land in question. Why do you think it might have belong to H. R. Bushong do you have any records indicating that he lived there? I'm just stating the odds are higher for it belonging to John S Bushong as I know he lived there from at least 1904 to 1910 and he owned at least 160 acres in Portalis, New Mexico. The Bushongs that spent some time in that area homesteading where Brothers John S Bushong, Hiram K Bushong, and James Wilson Bushong and a Lewis H Bushong (son of John S or a cousin?). My great-grandfather James Wilson Bushong, didn't stay long enough to be granted the land.
