Boschong Subscribers, We have no way of proving that John H. Bushong is the son of William A. Bushong and wife Adeline Brubaker but it certainly points that way. They did have a son in the 1850 household that is the correct age so we are including the census to show you this. He died before William A. Bushong and until proven otherwise, we are strongly leaning towards him being the father. ------------ 1850 Federal Census: Ohio Fairfield Township, Columbiana County Enumerated 4 October 1850 Page 81A Lines 13-21, HH 390/395 William A.
