Boschong Subscribers, Back in July 2008, I posted information about Jackson Bushong, son of George Bushong and Lydia Rush. At the time, we did not know who his first wife was. Now we know that Jackson Bushong's first wife was Eliza Cole and they married 3 September 1837 in Putnam County, Ohio. She died before the 1850 census as Jackson is a widower in that census and then he married two more times. Refer back to the July 2008 posts. We found Jackson Bushong's tombstone on FindAGrave. I am guessing that most of these children in this same cemetery belonged to Jackson Bushong and his wives.
