Gloria Thank you for the clarification. Isaac remarried to Sara Mort and had at least 7 additional children. I was not sure how they had migrated into MD and you helped o clear that up. My grandmother was a daughter of Thomas Jackson (Jackson in the census) I do not have a date for the marriage of Isaac and Sara. The Shennandoah County Men in Gray gives a breakdown. I also have a poor quality photo copy of Isaac's obituary. It lists him as dying in Clearbrook, VA with his body taken to Toms Brook for interment. His son George was a casualty of battle Jan 22, 1865 -----Original Message----- From: Chochoruss <[email protected]> To: boschong <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, Feb 4, 2011 9:15 pm Subject: [BOSCHONG] The two Calvin Bushongs of Shenandoah County, Virginia, Uncle & Nephew Boschong Subscribers, There were two Calvin Bushongs born in the same area ithin years of each other and both served in the Civil War and were held s prisoners during the War.
