Good Morning Boschong Subscribers, I was contacted by a grandmother who was seeking information on the Bushongs for her grandsons. The lineage is through Edward Mark Bushong and wife Elizabeth C. "Bessie" Burner of Woodstock, Shenandoah County, Virginia. Check posts for August 2005, January 2009, July 2009, September 2009, December 2009, July 2010, and March 2011 for some of the posts related to the family below. There are a ton more. LINEAGE: Andrew Bushong and Elizabeth Calvert Henry M. Bushong and Mary Ann Wendel Edward Mark Bushong and Elizabeth C. "Bessie" Burner Henry Lacey "Harry" Bushong Sr. and Ida Hynda Perry Henry Lacey "Harry" Bushong Jr. and Florence Evaline Offutt Kathleen Ann Bushong and John Henry Moore Shannon Moore married unknown Pierce Kristopher and Dustin Pierce -------------------- Edward Mark Bushong had a home in Woodstock but it no longer exists. It was torn down and there is now a BP station there. He had other property he inherited just east of the town of Woodstock and that is where his barn was located.That was the land referred to in the post about the women's baseball game. I believe the barn still stands. The Shenandoah Herald Friday, 21 July 1893 Page 3, Column 3 The New York young Ladies Base Ball Club, a nine composed of expert young lady players, will cross bats with the Woodstock Club on Monday afternoon next, July 24th, at 4 o'clock. The game will be played in Bushong's field, adjoining Indian springs, the new park, on the south edge of town. The game will be an interesting one, as the ladies play ball with a vim that will give the Woodstock boys all they are looking for, and then some, Don't fail to see these handsome ladies bat the ball all over the gable end of creation, and show their twinkling feet as they fly around the bases. ------------------- 1870 Federal Census: Virginia Johnston Mag.
