Boschong Subscribers, I sort of fell over Andrew Bushong while researching something else in Kosciusko County, Indiana and we are really excited about this find! -------------------------- MC CLINTIC CEMETERY Syracuse, Kosciusko County, Indiana Section 1, Row 7-8 ANDREW BUSHONG 12 June 1804 16 October 1881 Aged 77y 4m 4d ------------------------------- This Andrew Bushong is the son of John Bushong and Barbara Kreighbaum of Pennsylvania who settled in Stark/Carroll County, Ohio. We have posted quite a bit about the family of John and Barbara Bushong so check the BOSCHONG Archives for August 2006, September 2006, April 2007, September 2008, May 2009, November 2009 and January 2010 and a few more. I was hoping to find Andrew Bushong in the 1860 and 1880 census before posting this information but I have been working on this for well over two weeks and feel this information needs to get out there now. Possibly someone has research to fill in. I am trying to piece together the rest of the children of John Bushong and Barbara Kreighbaum and those of Andrew Bushong and his two wives so stayed tuned. ----------------------- ANDREW BUSHONG Born: 12 June 1804, Pennsylvania, s/o John Bushong and Barbara Kreighbaum Married Twice: M/1: February 1825 Stark County, Ohio to Lydia Neidig M/2: February 1835 Richland County, Ohio to Rebecca Hentrick/Hendrick Died: 16 October 1881, Kosciusko County, Indiana Burial: McClintic Cemetery, Syracuse, Kosciusko County, Indiana He had a bunch of children but because of his two marriages and the fact that he wandered a lot, we believe that the family was split up. Here is a list of the children that we know about but there are definitely a lot more! CHILDREN WITH LYDIA NEIDIG 1. John Bushong born 1826, married Eve Marks 2. Daniel Bushong born 1828, married Magdalena Shanaberger 3. Nicholas Bushong born 1829 married Catharine Neidig CHILDREN WITH REBECCA HENDRICK 4. Lydia Bushong born 1836, married George Zent 5. George Bushong born 1842, married Mary ------------------------ There are many marriages in Stark County, Ohio and could be candidates for daughters of Andrew Bushong and his wives. ------------------------ 1830 Federal Census: Ohio Paris, Stark County Page 189 ANDREW BUSHONG 3 males under 5 years of age (John, Daniel and Nicholas) 1 male 25 and under 30 years of age (Head of Household - Andrew Bushong) 1 female 25 and under 30 years of age (Wife of Head of Household - Lydia Neidig) -------------------------- Early Marriages of Richland County, Ohio Andrew Bushong and Rebecca Hentrick-----Married February 1835 (Not the 5th) ------------------------- 1840 Federal Census: Ohio London, Richland County Page 182 ANDREW BUSHONG 1 male 5 and under 10 years of age (Nicholas) 1 male 10 and under 15 years of age (Daniel) 1 male 15 and under 20 years of age (John) 1 male 20 and under 30 years of age (Unknown) 1 male 40 and under 50 years of age (Head of Household - Andrew Bushong) 1 female under 5 years of age (Lydia) 1 female 5 and under 10 years of age (Unknown) 1 female 10 and under 15 years of age (Unknown) 1 female 20 and under 30 years of age (Unknown) 1 female 40 and under 50 years of age (Wife of Head of Household - Rebecca Hendrick) --------------------------- 1850 Federal Census: Indiana Smithfield Township, DeKalb County Enumerated 13 September 1850 Page 225A Lines 16-19, HH 63/63 Solomon Bradenburg 38/Male/Farmer/$1500/OH Mary Bradenburg 33/Female/OH Mary Smith 14/Female/AttendedSchool/OH ANDREW BUSHONG 43/Male/Laborer/PA --------------------------- 1860 Federal Census: Indiana Cannot find him anywhere --------------------------- 1870 Federal Census: Indiana Turkey Creek Township, PO Syracuse, Kosciusko County Enumerated 20 June 1870 Page 28B Lines 16-18, HH 181/181 ANDY BUSHONG 64/Male/White/DayLaborer/-----$100/PA George Bushong 28/Male/White/DayLaborer/OH Mary Bushong 27/Female/White/Housekeeper/FatherOfForeignBirth/OH {Wife of George} ----------------------------- 1880 Federal Census: Cannot find anywhere ------------------------------- MC CLINTIC CEMETERY Syracuse, Kosciusko County, Indiana Section 1, Row 7-8 ANDREW BUSHONG 12 June 1804 16 October 1881 Aged 77y 4m 4d ------------------------------- Researched and Submitted by Gloria Bushong
