Boschong Subscribers, I feel the need to give you a basic elementary genealogy lesson. A subscriber sent me an e-mail and told me that John Bushong had died in April 1796. No he didn't. LOL That is the date (13 April 1796) that the COURT appointed Guardians for his minor children not his death date. The courts didn't move any faster back then as they do today so the death date of 1793 is a lot more realistic death date then April 1796, particularly since he died in Pennsylvania. Comprende?
