Boschong Subscribers, We are laying groundwork for the upcoming 1796 marriage record for Andrew Bushong and Elizabeth Calvert. We don't know what role this Robert Calvert plays in the family of Mary Wright and daughter Elizabeth Calvert who married Andrew Bushong, but we found this in Chalkeys which was taken from the court records in Augusta County. Goose Creek is a creek north of Middleburg and Southwest of Leesburg and crosses the 734 turnpike which goes into Winchester, VA. The area was settled by Quakers from Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey. The 1802 Deed in Culpeper County for a Jacob Bushong shows that the early Bushongs owned property in many different places so this is evidence that a Bushong could have very easily met a Calvert and arranged a marriage. ------------------------- CHRONICLES OF THE SCOTCH - IRISH SETTLEMENT IN VIRGINIA Volume 3 Lyman Chalkley Page 266 Page 448 - 6th October 1747 - John Nealands of Frederick County to John Hite of Frederick. 300 acres on a branch of Goose Creek.
