Boschong Subscribers, We have posted before about the family of Daniel Bushong who married more then once. Here is another one of his son's Joseph Sylvester Bushong whose mother was Elizabeth Amend. Joseph Sylvester Bushong married Caroline Matilda Hall, d/o Benjamin H. Hall and Nancy Callison. He was very difficult to find in some of the censuses and the only one we never located him in was the 1860. Check BOSCHONG Archives for May 2007, August 2008, September 2009, January 2010, and August 2010. We also have no idea when he died. Any additions or corrections would be appreciated. ------------ 1850 Federal Census: Virginia No township given, ED 65, Wood County Enumerated 6 August 1850 Page 141A Lines 9-22, HH 696/696, 697/697 & 698/698 Catharine Hornbeck 66/Female/$150/VA {Mother of Lydia married to Daniel Bushong Jr.} Benjamin Hornbeck 25/Male/Laborer/AttendedSchool/VA Susan Hornbeck 24/Female/VA Daniel Bushong 23/Male/Farmer/$70/MarriedWithinYear/OH {Daniel Jr.} Lydia Bushong 23/Female/OH {Hornbeck} Daniel Bushong 53/Male/Farmer/VA {Daniel Sr.} Elizabeth Bushong 50/Female/VA {Maiden name Amens} Emanuel Bushong 24/Male/OH {Married Sarah J.} Elizabeth Bushong 19/Female/OH Rebecca Bushong 17/Female/OH Catharine Bushong 13/Female/OH JOSEPH BUSHONG10/Male/OH Emeline Bushong 8/Female/VA {Married John D.
