Good Morning Gloria, I was wondering if you have heard or used this site <Fold3.com>  Do you think this site is worth the extra investment for other Military Bushong's!  My wife used this once to research her Grandfather. He was killed in WWII in the Aleutien Islands up by Alaska. She was told by her grandmother that he was buried in the military cemetery in Hawaii, NOT, just his name and the conflict.  He, an other troops were being shuffled from ship to shore when it was hit by a Japanese mortar shell. Which his body was never recovered and reported MIA.                                                                                              NOEL EUGENE(BOSCHUNG)BUSHONG ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Fold3.com <team@fold3.com> To: nwbushong@frontiernet.net Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2013 7:08 AM Subject: Content Update - New Title Added This month's featured content: Korean War Casualties Is this email not displaying correctly?View it in your browser. Korean War Casualties now on Fold3 Records of U.S. Army officers and soldiers killed or wounded in the Korean War are now available on Fold3. Korean War Casualties is available free to any visitors to the site. One quarter of the nearly 110,000 records in Korean War Casualties connects to information about Army personnel who died during the war, 1950-1953, including those who died while a prisoner of war or missing in action. The remaining three quarters are for nonfatal Army casualties. The Korean War Casualties database is from the Records of the Adjutant General's Office, 1905-1981 (Record Group 407), at the National Archives (NARA). It was compiled between 1950 and 1970, and covers the period from the earliest casualty (February 13, 1950) to the latest date in the date of disposition field, December 31, 1953. The information on each casualty may include: name, service prefix and number, grade, Army branch, place and date of casualty, state and county of residence, type of casualty, detail/previous casualty type, casualty group, place and date of disposition, year of birth (for deceased casualties only), military occupational specialty, organization troop program sequence number, element sequence, unit number, race, component, and disposition of evacuations. Launch your search within the records from the Korean War Casualty title page or use the browse option and highlight the Korean War category. Records are ordered alphabetically. (NARA also provides a list of fatal casualties by state on its website.) When you find a soldier in the Korean War Casualties records, you’ll link directly to a memorial page for that soldier where we invite you to add stories, photos, documents, and other information relating to that individual. Examples of two pages to which newspaper articles were added include twice-wounded Purple Heart recipient Dwight L. Huston, of Mt. Vernon, IL; and Pittsfield, MA, native Arthur A. Boland. When added to the memorial pages, your stories and photos help sustain the memories of United States heroes in the Korean War and allow others to connect with and honor them.  Like us Follow us Read our Blog View Videos Forward  Fold3 does not sell, rent or otherwise distribute the personal information you provide us to third party advertisers.

There will always been events that we simply cannot prove for lack of concrete evidence. Sometimes you can suppose if there is enough information available, but more often than not, that part of the story remains open. In Montgomery Co Va, there was a lack of church records which could certainly filled in the gaps, Sometimes even though a marriage bond was taken out, the couple never married, deeds were often not taken to the court house, family Bible were lost in fires as were other valuable papers. Consider this, When Jacob Lough's wife Nancy applied for a Pension in 1832, the family, as did other families, sent their family bible and other important documents off to Washington as proof of relationships etc. These were never returned and I often wonder if they are still lost in the vast collection with all the other papers sent in and never returned. So when you have gaps and you feel those papers should exist, unless the family actually recorded them at the court house, they might have done something like the Lough family did. Another thought is that when a wife married after the death of her husband, she might not have saved the first husband's bible or papers. So many people could not read and the German/Swiss were not speaking a lot of English among themselves. Communicating with those at the court houses was often difficult because they spoke not just English, but the Kings English and English Law was often still used. That is one reason, the names is spelled so many crazy ways. Judy

Many of the marriages in Montgomery Co. were not recorded, nor were most adoptions. Often people did not legally adopt children, that cost money in court, lawyers and filing and a long trip to the county seat. So lack of adoption papers is not a sign of anything actually other than there was no proof of adoption. I think it was odd that John Summers did not mention her in his will. Children of John Bushong and Jannet Summers, were Sarah, Nancy, George, James and John Jr. She did not name any of her children after her parents. My Martha was supposidly Marthey Davis, dau. of Stephen Davis, however, I have never found any record of Stephen Davis and because I can't prove it, I cannot positively say it is true, she could have been his widow for all I know. It is kind of similar, Montgomery Co. was still a frontier area, not like Philadelphia or where ever. Sometimes I really makes you just wish you could have 5 minutes with them to ask these questions.

Let's examine the facts to see. ----------------------------- Patrick Young was the son of James Young and Sarah (Maiden name unknown) Young and they lived in what was then Augusta County, Virginia. James Young was a miller and plantation owner who owned a large tract of land. His first wife named Sarah died prior to 1851 and he married for a second time to another woman name Sarah (Todd) McMurtry who was a widow. Patrick Young was James Young's wife from his first marriage. ------------------------------- 1751 - James Young contracts to marry for a second time to widow Sarah (Todd) McMurtry. (Widow of Alexander McMurtry) 1753 - On the 10 August 1753, the father James Young and his second wife Sarah, transferred 340 acres of their land on Whistle Creek in Forks of the James to his son Patrick Young. {Son from first marriage to another Sarah} 1756 - 58- On 15 May 1756, James Young and wife Sarah and his son Patrick Young and his wife Isabell sold 110 acres of the land and mill to Andrew Hall, Deed delivered August 1758. ------------------------------------- 1761 - 4 April 1761 - Will of Patrick Young is written and he is dead by May 1761 when the Will is taken to court presented and proven on oath to be his last Will and Testament 19 May 1761. Named in Will as Executors are wife Isabella and Joseph Walker. Heirs are 1 son James and 3 daughters: Sarah, Jannet and Allas. At the time of Patrick's death Jannet would have been a newborn baby if this Jannet is the same one that married John Bushong. 1761 - 9 June 1761 - Appraisement of Patrick Young's Estate 1762 - 18 November 1762 - Settlement of Estate of Patrick Young. 1762 - 18 November 1762 - John Summers posted Bond and was appointed Guardian of minor children and orphans of Patrick Young those being Sarah, James, Jannet and Alice Young. 1767 - 19 August 1767 - Samuel Todd posted bond and was appointed Guardian to Sarah, James, Jannet and Elizabeth Young, orphans of Patrick Young. Sarah Young age 16 and James Young age 15 chose Samuel Todd as their Guardian. Samuel Todd was appointed Guardian to Jennet and Elizabeth Young, orphans of Patrick Young. -------------------------------------- Patrick Young had the following children as shown in Guardian records: 1. Sarah 2. James 3. Jannet 4. Alice 5. Elizabeth MY TAKE ON THIS: Patrick Young wrote his Will in April 1761 and died before or in May 1761. He names children James, Sarah, Jannet and Alice. He names his wife Isabella and a friend to be Executors. His wife Isabella is pregnant at the time of his death. The court appoints James Summers as Guardian to his 4 children named in the Will. Fifth child not born yet so not named. No record of a marriage between James Summers, the Guardian, and the widow Isabella Young during settlement of the Estate of Patrick Young. Never once in the Court Records between 1761 and 1767 does it state that the widow Isabella Young married James Summers and took his legal name for signature, nor does she write her name as Isabella Summers in any of the court documents. Not until 1767 does it name the child that Isabella was pregnant with at time of her husband's death, that child's name was Elizabeth when Samuel Todd was appointed Guardian. There is no legal adoption papers in 1761 showing that Janett Young was adopted by James Summers. He was her legal Guardian which is not the same as adoption. So, one would have to conclude that Janett married to John Bushong was indeed the natural daughter of James Summers, mother unknown Until further evidence comes forth. ------------------------ Submitted by Gloria Neiger Bushong . ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [1]BOSCHONG-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message References 1. mailto:BOSCHONG-request@rootsweb.com

I am sorry Gloria, but lets assume that Andreas was about 20 to 25 when he came over in 1754, he would have been about 45-51 in 1780. He had land surveyed in Montgomery Co. VA in 1781/82 or it could have been his son. I really doubt that an older man was in Nashville, TN, but I would be confident to say, that the three men left home to check out their options at that date - two to KY and Andrew to TN. It is romantic to say he was killed by the Indians, but I would need hard proof of that. The Rev. War was over, young men who received bounty land or met up with other young men were on the move to see what was beyond the mountains. People traveled back and forth, we have proof of that. But the older men, not so much, they may have made a final trip with their families, but for the most part it was the young men.

He had to travel from Montgomery County, Virginia where he lived to Nashborough (near present Nashville) Tennessee to sign this. He had one year from signing to claim his land in Kentucky. Probably on his way back home to Montgomery County to get his family he was attacked and killed by Indians thus he never claimed any land in Kentucky. This is what probably prompted his one son John joined the militia in 1781 and the other son Jacob to join in 1782 to fight Indians. John received land for his service under Col Trigg. His land was 400 acres near Frankfort near the land of Squire Boone which he abandoned when he moved in 1798 to Chillicothe., Ross County, Ohio. Jacob Bushong received land in Fayette County, Kentucky for his service. He also left and went to Ross County, Ohio where he died. ------------------------- History of the Cumberland Compact By Kenneth Fieth Metropolitan Archives for Nashville and Davidson County Richard Henderson, land speculator and representative for North Carolina on the western Virginia/North Carolina survey team, drew up the Cumberland Compact in 1780. Signed on May 1, 1780, by 250 men of the new Cumberland settlement, it served as a guide for land transactions and as a simple constitutional government for settlers. With the inclusion of additional provisions on May 13, the compact became the document by which the settlement governed itself until North Carolina created Davidson County in 1783. The compact called for a representative form of civil government. Each of the seven stations (or forts) of the Cumberland settlement was entitled to a specific number of elected representatives to form a twelve-man "Tribunal of Notables" which dispensed justice, received and dispersed funds, settled claims, and regulated the land office. In 1775 Henderson privately purchased a large area of land in Kentucky and the part of Tennessee drained by the Cumberland River from the Cherokee Indians. Henderson hoped North Carolina and Virginia would accept this transaction--known as the Transylvania Purchase--and lobbied for the endorsement of the land provisions of the compact by these states. Both North Carolina and Virginia disallowed the purchase and instead granted Henderson several hundred thousand acres of land as compensation. Despite frequent Indian attacks that saw approximately one-third of the original signers of the Cumberland Compact killed in battles with Native Americans by 1784, the Cumberland settlement succeeded. -------------------- Copied and Submitted by Gloria Neiger Bushong ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [1]BOSCHONG-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message References 1. mailto:BOSCHONG-request@rootsweb.com

Up to 1780 would be correct, but after that it is speculation. I would imagine that it is the SON Andrew who originally left home, at the same time his brothers John and Jacob did, they went to Kentucky, he must have gone to TN. However, upon the death of his father Andreas, he is most likely the son who inherited the family farm. He remained in possession of that until 1801 when he sold it. I do a lot of research in Mercer Co., KY etc. and John was in Col. John Rogers Clark's regiment ( as was one of my other ancestors) and they were actually sent up to Ill or IN to some fort up there. The seemed to serve in short increments. Supposing that Andrew or Andreas was killed by Indians on his way home from Nashville, unless there is proof is not necessarily true. Do You have documents confirming. The fact that John and Jacob were in the VA Militia is only proof that they were in the Millitia.

John Summers will was clear. Jannet was actually his step daughter. John Summers married Isabelle Young. They are the parents of Isabelle Summers who married Henry Bushong. Jannet's parents were Isabelle Todd and Patrick Young. Upon Patrick Young's death she married John Summers who was her second husband or at least the husband she married after the death of Patrick Young. Jannet used the surname Summers.

Gloria You are correct. I have three lines out of the Rhine Vally in the same basic time frame. However, that does not mean they are German, The Hochstetlers are Swiss Amish, The Ernsberges are German and the Bushongs are of French linage. therefore naming conventions are just that conventions not set in concrete.

You must check the history of the area and people and not make asumtions Damon On 03/16/13, Russell Bushong<chochoruss@aol.com> wrote: There is more then one naming system and that is why it should never be used in genealogy as a set way of placing children in a particular family.

Based on the Fayette Co. KY Tax information, I just posted, Andreas the father may have died ca. 1787 and left the family farm to son Andrew. Catherine probably remained there until Andreas married ca. 1790, and then left to live with Jacob. While this is open for speculation, it does put some kind of time frame on deaths and perhaps a marriage. If Andrew was a batchelor, then she would have stayed and kept house for him or even moved in with a daughter, but she didn't she was living with a son, so perhaps there were no daughters., The fact that she is listed in Fayette Co. KY, at those dates as a widow, and son Andrew is still in ownership of the land in 1801, leads me to believe this is the case. Since they were also living in Mercer Co. which in part was created from both Lincoln and Fayette, perhaps that is where their land was located. They could have been living in one of the Stations, as the indians were still romping around. So where did Andrew go, down to TN? Valentine came of age supp. by 1798 when he purchased those lots in New Liberty, he is not listed on the Tax Lists in Fayette which end in 1794, so most likely he was still under age. Did the father leave a will, I have not seen one or an administration either. Not everyone took their wills, deeds etc. to the court house to be filed, but if it was an administration, it would have had to have been in order to settle the estate. What ever occurred I have not found it recorded, YET. Back to Fayette Co., in the KY Genealogist, Vol 6, 19645, pg. 65, Lincoln Co. KY Order Books, Nov. Court 1781, "At a court held for Lincoln Co., the 20th of Nov. 1781, John Bushing, among others made satisfactory proof to this court that they were TOO POOR to purchase land at the State Prices. It is therefore ordered that the surveyor of the county lay off for each and everyone of them any quantity of land not exceeding 400 acres.," But did they get it, often they did not. Petition, daed 2nd Nov. 1788, Petitions of Early Inhabitants of KY, Filson Club, Vol 27, pg. 128, No. 63. To the Honorable The Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Delegates. The Petition of sundry of the Inhabitants on the North Side of the River in the District of Kentucky Humbly begs leave to Represent; that they experience many difficulties in carrying their tobacco to the Warehouses already established by law at Jack's Creek on the South side of the River Kentucky and at the mouth of Hickman's creek owning to the danger of descending cliffs, the baddness of the Roads and the Risque of crossing the River. That there is a Comodious and convenient place for an Inspection below the mouth of Tate Creek on the lands of Michael Bedinger and nearly where the Main Road leads by an easy and safe descent down the Hill to the river of said Kentucky. We your Petitioners therefor pray, that you would pass a law establishing a Warehouse on the lands of said Michael Bedinger about three fourths of a mile below the mouth of the aforesaid Tates Creek. Among the signers John Bushong. I have been there, Tates Creek is sound of Lexington near Boonsboro and it is all cliffs along that river, The Shakers at Pleasant Hill, Ky, did build a road down to the water, but it must have been tough going.

There is more then one naming system and that is why it should never be used in genealogy as a set way of placing children in a particular family. It has way too many flaws. AND not all of the Bushongs baptized their children, by the way, as some did not believe in Infant baptism. My Swiss relations from Meiringen, Bern, Swizerland back to the 1500s did not use this system.

I came across a letter from someone, who mentioned that John also had a law suit against Lucas Sullivan vis. the town of New Liberty, but for a different numbered in and out lot, or where they the same man, John Valentine? Since the town of New Liberty never materialized, did this enter into the reason as to why the lawsuits? Judy
