I'm confused. Are you saying that the John Wesley Bushong who died in Alabama belongs to Joseph Long Bushong and not Jacob Bushong as the death record indicates? I thought I made the post pretty clear. Just copied what was in the census records as far was birth places but they did seem to be confused on occasions as to where their parents were born Ohio vs Germany and Ohio vs Virginia. Were any of the census for your James Wesley Bushong? My head is spinning. I am still working on further posts about the children of William J. Bushong and Eliza Seitz. Trying to find their son Harry A. Bushong in the 1900 census. Found him in all the others, just not that one. When he married in 1906 he was living in Clark County, Illinois but still haven't found him. Gloria
