Boschong Subscribers, We have posted quite a bit of information about the family of George Bushong and Sarah Pyle. We have seen a lot of different information about the family of George Bushong and Sarah Pyle out there on the net. Here is what we believe to be correct, but if there is a correction, please let me know. I am not totally comfortable with the daughter Catharine Bushong being their daughter but for the moment will include her until we find otherwise. ----------------- CHILDREN OF GEORGE BUSHONG AND SARAH PYLE Married 17 September 1818 Residents of Sullivan County, Tennessee 1.
