J. Foust who witnessed the 1869 Will of John Bushong of Stark County, Ohio is related to Amos Foust father of Ora Alice Foust married to Harry A. Bushong who was the grandson of Jacob Bushong and Elizabeth Bohart. See BOSCHONG Archives for April 2007 for 1869 Will of John. ----------------------------- Researched and Submitted by Gloria Bushong
