Are you getting my John Wesley Bushong mixed up with this one? His father Joseph Long Bushong was b, VA & his mother Lydia Ann Zaring was b. IN. I sometimes think the children got mixed up on their family history...alot!! hehehe In a message dated 5/23/2011 4:32:51 P.M.

There are a few inconsistencies in this research and we cannot for the life of us figure out why John Wesley Bushong kept stating his father was born in Virginia and mother born in Germany when they were both born in Ohio.
