PART 1 OF 3 ---------------------- Good Evening Boschong Subscribers, Some time ago I saw a post to the Bushong GenForum from Christina Bushong who stated that the biological father of Milton Bushong was a Sisk. After comparing the Bushong DNA with a descendant of Milton Bushong, we already know that the descendant's DNA does not match the DNA of the Bushongs nor does it match those of the Mitchells who now call themselves Bushongs.I contacted the Administrator of the Sisk DNA Project to see if I could send him DNA to compare but he has been totally uncooperative which is a real shame. If this does not interest you, you can just delete it. But this research is important to someone and I have seen very little on the Sisks. If there are mistakes, please let me know and I will correct them. I decided to do some research to see, among the Sisks, who could be a possible fit as a candidate. Although I don't know for sure, since there is no slam dunk proof as yet, after studying the various Sisk candidates, weighing all the evidence, I am leaning towards Morgan Sisk as the possible father since he is the only one of these men that was actually living in Logan County, Ohio where Milton Bushong was conceived and because of the Virginia connections. But without DNA comparison with the Sisk project, I cannot say for sure that Milton Bushong was even a Sisk by blood. We have two Sisks families in the early 1800s, one in Maryland and one in Virginia that came to Ohio between 1820 and 1830. The Maryland Sisks came from Dorchester County, Virginia and settled in Pickaway County, Ohio. The Virginia Sisks came from Madison County, Virginia and settled in Knox County, Ohio and then moved into Logan County. You would think that, of course, it has to be the Maryland Sisks as Pickaway is closer to Ross county. But remember at time of conception, Nancy Bushong was living in Logan County not Ross so both Pickaway and Knox county cannot be ruled out and those strong Virginia connections were there with Morgan Sisk being from the Virginia line. So such strong connection with the Maryland Sisks. ------------------------------ Back in August 2009 I posted about a newspaper article I had found: Marysville Tribune (Ohio) 28 May 1879 Page 4, Column 3 PROBATE NOTICE UNION COUNTY OHIO Milton Bushong, guardian of John O. Forrey. William O. Forrey and Martha J. Forrey" JOHN B. COATS Probate Judge May 7, 1879 At the time of posting this, I thought this Milton was the son of Jacob and Rebecca Bushong but in June 2012 changed my mind as new evidence came to light. This article referred to Milton Bushong son of Nancy Bushong. As I have said, the Virginia connections were strong and if you look back to where the Sisks came from, Madison County, VA you will see that Madison County. VA was formed from Culpeper County. VA where Bushong lived which takes us back to Rockingham/Shenandoah County. VA which takes us to Page County, VA where, low and behold, Sisks and Forrey families are found very early on and then traveled to Ohio. 1836 Deed - William Bushong and wife Catharine of Carroll County, OH to Thomas Morrison of KNOX County, Ohio. I have contacted Mark Bushong and we are working together to see it is plausible that Morgan Sisk is the father of Milton Bushong as he was leaning towards the Maryland Sisks. ------------------- MY SISK RESEARCH There are several candidates that I looked at as possible father of Milton Bushong born 1826. 1. John C. Sisk born 1792, Virginia and married Madison County, VA to Mary "Polly" Berry, died Perry County, Ohio 1. John Sisk, born circa 1794, Maryland, married, Pickaway County, OH to Verlinda Purdum, died 27 October 1865, Pickaway County, Ohio 3. David Sisk born 1800, Maryland married Pickaway County, OH to Lillie White Mills, died 2 March 1875 in Pickaway County, Ohio 4. Elizabeth Sisk, born circa 1791, Maryland - either a widow or spinster, died 9 April 1883 in Pickaway County, Ohio 5. *Nancy Six (Sisk?) intended to marry George Hewitt 21 February 1825 in Athens County, Ohio. Marriage not returned. *Since mother's maiden name was Sisk, this could not be mother of Milton Bushong since we are working with hypothetical fraternal DNA. I researched each one of these candidates and slowly eliminated them based on various reasons, some explained here. I don't intend to put all that extensive research on this List, since this post is already too long and broken down into 3 parts. 1. John C. Sisk - Solid marriage. Wife was still alive and living with her husband at time of Milton's birth.{Definite brother of Morgan} - Living in Washington County, Ohio with Moore and Cline neighbors. 2. John Sisk - Solid marriage. Wife was still alive and living with husband at time of Milton's birth. 3. David Sisk - Solid marriage. Wife was still alive and living with husband at time of Milton's birth. 4. Elizabeth Sisk - If she was a widow then she could be a candidate but why give the child away when she had solid family support. 5. *Nancy Six (Sisk?) - This is weird because an intended marriage with George Hewitt was not returned and she is not in the 1850 census with a husband George Hewitt. However there is a Nancy Hewitt living with an Aaron Hewitt in the 1850 census in Athens County but she was born in Pennsylvania. Could not be mother of Milton since the DNA would match a Hewitt not a Sisk. ------------------------------------ So where does that leave us with this research? MORGAN SISK ------------------------------------- I came to candidate #6, which to me is the most likely father of Milton Bushong for many reasons. Wandering Sisk, unattached with wife dead and with relatives nearby in Logan County at the time of Milton's conception, plus Morgan in later life moves to Logan County after Milton Bsuhong becomes an adult. To be nearer to his natural biological son? #6 - MORGAN SISK Born: Circa 1793, Virginia Died: Between 1870 and 1880, Logan County, Ohio Buried: Unknown Cemetery, Ohio Married: Bond posted 11 January 1815, Madison County, Virginia to Frances "Fanny" Berry ------------------------------------ MADISON COUNTY VIRGINIA BONDS Layton Sisk to Rhody Jenkins - 28 March 1800 {Twice widowed Rhoda found living in 1850 with brother-in-law Morgan Sisk} John C. Sisk to Polly Berry - 9 December 1813 Morgan Sisk to Fannie Berry - 11 January 1815 -------------------------------------------- Morgan Sisk married Frances "Fanny" Berry, the sister of Mary "Polly" Berry who married John C. Sisk. Morgan Sisk and John C. Sisk were brothers. John C. Sisk's marriage bond post 9 December 1813, Madison County, Virginia to marry to Mary "Polly" Berry. Morgan Sisk was born in circa 1793-4 in Virginia and is the same age as Nancy McCleary Bushong who was born 29 November 1793 in Virginia. Morgan Sisk married Frances "Fanny" Berry with the Bond posted the 11th January 1815 in Madison County, Virginia and are found in the 1820 census living in Madison County, Virginia. Between 1830 and 1840 Morgan had permanently moved to Ohio but might have traveled back and forth between Virginia and Ohio in the time frame of 1820 to 1830, the same time that Milton was born to visit relatives already moved to Ohio. By 1840 Morgan Sisk has permanently moved to Pleasant Township, Knox County, Ohio. He is found in the 1850 census as a widower living with *Rhoda Bailey. By 1860 Morgan had moved to Logan County, Ohio not only his relatives, but where Nancy Bushong and her son Milton lived and by 1870 Morgan Sisk is living with his widowed daughter Lavina Startzman. He died in Logan County after the 1870 census and before the 1880 census. It would be worth your while to find an obit on him and on Lavina and all the other children of Morgan Sisk. Lavina Sisk Startzman was born in Madison County, Virginia in 1826 {Date year calculated from her death certificate}. This does not rule Morgan out as being the father of Milton if he traveled back and forth between Virginia and Ohio which I suspect he did and was visiting in Logan County, Ohio circa 1826. -------------------- MADISON COUNTY VIRGINIA MARRIAGES Morgan Sisk and Fannie Berry 11 January 1815 -------------------- 1820 Federal Census: Virginia Madison County MORGAN SISK spelled Sick -------------------- 1830 Federal Census: Virginia Madison County MORGAN SISK --------------------- At this point you might say, well this proves she is wrong. He was still in Virginia when Milton Bushong was conceived in 1826. Oh? He could have traveled to Ohio to visit Virginia relatives and to scout out where he wanted to live, before moving his wife and family of girls to Ohio permanently. It only takes a moment to conceive a child. ---------------------- 1840 Federal Census: Ohio Pleasant Township, Knox County MORGAN SISK 1 male 40 and under 50 years of age {Head of Household Morgan Sisk} 1 female 5 and under 10 years of age 2 females 10 and under 15 years of age 2 females 15 and under 20 years of age {Mary Catharine and Levina} 1 female 20 and under 30 years of age 1 female 40 and under 50 years of age {Wife of Head of Household Frances "Fanny" Berry} ----------------------- TO BE CONTINUED: Researched and Submitted by Gloria Neiger Bushong

Becky, There are two types of DNA testing that females can do, mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA) and autosomal DNA (which familytreedna site calls the Family Finder DNA test). The third type of test (restricted to males) that familytreednadoes is the Y-chromosome, this is the test that some of the males with the Bushong last name have taken part in. If you are interested in taking a DNA test, I would suggest that you read up on what each might give you in results, they may or may not answer the questions that you have. See the following Q&A from familytreedna http://www.familytreedna.com/faq/answers.aspx?id=8#519 Beware that the results of the different types of tests can not be compared with each other, but only compared with results of folks taking the same type of test. The MtDNA test DNA that is passed from mother to child, so it can be used to determine whether someone might be related on the all female ancestral line. If you have close matches with this test, the person matching will more than likely have a different last name than you and you'll have to use genealogical research to determine how you are related. The Y-chromosome DNA testing, test markers on the Y-chromosome that is passed from father to son. So this test can be used to see if you are related to someone else on the all male ancestral line. If you have a close match with someone else taking this test, more than likely you'll share the same last name. If you don't share the same last name it could be because a son was adopted, a mother had an affair, the family changed last names for some reason, etc. I believe the Autosomal DNA testing is relatively newer, it samples markers from the other 22 chromosome pairs which can come from either parents. This being newer I'm not sure how many people of have taken this test yet. This test might help locate relatives from anywhere in your familytree, though you and the other person will have to figure out how you are related through traditional genealogical research. I believe this is the same type of test that ancestryDNA is now pushing for $99 a test. I don't know how the autosomal DNA test from AncestryDNA compares with familytreeDNA'ssame test. http://dna.ancestry.com/ None of these test will tell you exactly how you are related to someone, but only the probability that you are related within so many generations or not related at all. Actually I think they do a better job at the later. John

I just tried calling FTDNA and they are closed for the weekend. Anyone wanting to take part should be sure to call on Monday and no later to received the special price. Always, when you call, make sure to tell them that you are part of the Bushong surname project. I have decided to go ahead and add the female test to the Bushong project. I will notify them Monday morning. Gloria

Becky, So far we have only done the men, but if you want to be included in the testing, call the telephone number, tell them that you are a female but want to be included in the Bushong project and they will be glad to set you up. You can be the first female pioneer of this testing. Let me know if you do this, and I will announce that we are now testing the females.

Good Morning Boschong Subscribers, On the 1st of May, I will be giving an honest updated report on the Bushong DNA project. MEANWHILE The Knox County Public Library (Indiana) has a grant to digitize many of the early records of that county. As more records become available throughout the United States, we will have a lot more information to flesh out our families. Here is the newspaper article and the link for viewing what they have already made available. ------------------ The News-Sentinel Fort Wayne, Indiana Thursday, 17 April 2013 >From The Associated Press Monday, April 1, 2013 - 7:57 am VINCENNES — A southwestern Indiana county's library is electronically preserving some of the state's earliest records and putting the most historically significant documents online. The Vincennes Sun-Commercial reports that the Knox County Public Library has obtained several grants to digitize the files. The building housing the hard copies of the documents is not climate-controlled to prevent the records from deteriorating. The most important records have been relocated to the library's McGrady-Brockman House, formerly a historical center. Historical collection administrator Brian Spangle says the library has digitized the earliest records dating from the 1790s to the mid-1820s and posted them online. Documents include marriage records, early will records, probate files and criminal and civil court files. Some of those files are searchable at visions.indstate.edu. ------------------ Submitted by Gloria Neiger Bushong.

The Bristol News Bristol, Virginia & Tennessee Friday, 24 March 1871 Page 3, Column 3 & 4 DISCOVERY OF MARBLE. Mr. William Bushong has discovered on his lands, four and a half miles S. E. of this place, a deposit of Marble, which judged by the specimen shown us, is perhaps the most beautiful and valuable we have seen in the country. It is variegated, and may be called black and gold, with an admixture of rich brown. It polishes very finely. Mr. Bushong desires to sell speedily, at least a half interest in the land. The extent of the quarry is not fully developed, but it is believed to be very great and it is most admirable located for working. We consider this discovery as of great importance, and desire direct public attention to it. We hope Mr. Bushong will make quite handsomely by it. --------------- Researched and Submitted by Gloria Neiger Bushong

Boschong Subscribers, Dusty who is Rocky's son, let everyone know on Facebook that his Dad had passed away. We knew this was coming as Rocky had been in the hospital a short time ago. Dusty came to the last Bushong Reunion and I really enjoyed getting to know him. Rocky was part of my late husband Russell's lineage as Albert Franklin Bushong and Buena Vista Bushong were brother and sister both born in Shenandoah County, Virginia. Dusty is now the last male living blood descendant of Andrew Jackson Bushong carrying the Bushong name as there were mostly girls born to the particular lineage. My sympathy to the immediate family. --------------- LINEAGE: John Bushong and Elizabeth Sprinckel John Bushong Jr. and Elizabeth Windle John Bushong and Magdalena Bauserman Jacob Bushong and Elizabeth McInturff Andrew Jackson Bushong and Amanda Fultz/Foltz Albert Franklin Bushong and Loley Fish Norman Wesley Bushong and Betty Lou Wright Rocky Wayne Bushong and Debbie Jordan --------------- The Herald Bulletin Anderson, Indiana Tuesday, 16 April 2013 ROCKY WAYNE BUSHONG May 14, 1952- April 15, 2013 Born to the late Norman and Betty (Wright) Bushong, Summitville, they moved to Pendleton in 1958. Rock attended school, being the first graduating class of PHHS in 1970. In 1971, he joined the Army and served in the Engineering Corp for three years. Upon returning home, he worked for DeShon Construction as a heavy machine operator before going to work at Citizens Gas in Indianapolis. Rock retired in 2010 as a mechanic after 35 years. He also stayed actively involved in the Army Reserves for several years. He was a life member of Amvets Post #26 and a member of the Lapel American Legion. Rock was a charter member of the AMA, a member of the Fall Creek Conservation Club and the PADI Divemaster. Having enjoyed a full life of sports, Rock was a big Colts Fan and established the “He-Man Woman Haters Club”, Pendleton Chapter., and served as VP for several years. Card carrying members total 182. Back in his day, he enjoyed racing cycles and go carts. Nothing ever smelled as good to him as burning ethanol. He enjoyed fishing, golfing, and bowling. Rock was blessed with a son, Dustin, and beloved daughter, Beth. Later in life he gained another son, Isaac. All three were very important to him and he enjoyed the times they shared. Family grew to include three grandkids, Kassy Baker, Wesley and Justin Beeler. A lot of memories will be shared around campfires in the days to come as we move forward. It was with honor and privilege that his sister, Pebbles Ann (Bob) Blanchard and his wife Shawn, were able to keep Rock at home until his passing. Many thanks to his friends for their visits and prayers, especially to his buddy, Dean (Carla) Gimple, for “sharing one hell of a Ride” in his lifetime. Memorial contributions may be made to St. John’s Hospice or Amvets Post #26, Pendleton. There will be no traditional services, as per request. Arrangements made by Indiana Funeral Care and Crematory. “So it is said. So it is written. Peace out”. ------------------------- Researched and Submitted by Gloria Neiger Bushong

Boschong Subscribers, While looking back through the BOSCHONG Archives I came across in a January 2011 post, what I believe could be the son of Valentine Bushong named after him. I'm not saying it is his son, I'm saying might be his son. The time frame of his birth fits born circa 1800 - 1810 which is the time that Valentine disappeared. This needs to be researched more. ------------------ 1830 Federal Census: Ohio Canton Township, Stark County Page 274 VALENTINE BUCHING {BUSHONG} 1 male under 5 years of age 1 male 15 and under 20 years of age 1 male 20 and under 30 years of age 1 female under 5 years of age 1 female 20 and under 30 years of age --------------------- Researched and Submitted by Gloria Neiger Bushong
