Boschong Subscribers, There is so much we still don't know about the early Pennsylvania Bushongs. Found Simon Miller and Catharine Bushong in the 1850 census living in the next county over from Tuscarawas County in Ohio. There is a Simon Miller in the 1860 census in Monroe Township, Coshocton County, age 62 but since I can't view the page, I am not sure this is the same man. --------------------------- TUSCARAWAS COUNTY OHIO MARRIAGE RETURNS Page 207, #1653 State of Ohio, Tuscarawas County ss I hereby certify that on the 29th day of March 1832, by virtue of a license from the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas, I joined in Holy Matrimony, Simon Miller and Catherine Bushon.

This post gives us additional information about the family and thought it was interesting that one of the children in the family was named Ora. now all we have to do is figure out who Catherine Bushong is! "My great great grandfather was Simon Miller, b.1798 in Pennsylvania. He married Catherine Bushon on March 29, 1832 in Tuscarawas County, Ohio. I have census records showing them living in Coshocton County, Ohio and Tuscarawas County, Ohio. They had one son named Adam Miller, b. September 9, 1832 in Tuscarawas County, Ohio and died December 18, 1899 in Ohio. Adam's first wife was Edith Sylvania Younker (1836-1877). His second wife, my great grandmother, was Phoebe Anne Leavengood, b. December 21, 1847 - d. January 2, 1931. They were married November 29, 1877 in Blissfield, Ohio. They had two children: Frank Wellington (1880-1956) and Ora Emmaline (1878-1964). I have not been able to locate Simon's parents. I believe that they were from Pennyslvania. I also have not been able to find Catherine Bushon's parents. I am at a dead end. I would appreciate any information anyone would be able to share." ---------------------------- Researched and Submitted by Gloria Bushong
