Boschong Subscribers, I found William and Ida in the 1900 census a few minutes ago so here is the revised post. Disregard the previous post. Sorry I mixed up the couple in the 1900 census in Missouri with this couple. It was easy to do and easily fixed when pointed out. ---------------------------- See BOSCHONG Archives for October 2009 for further information. If you find further fault with this information, please kindly let me know. Thanks. -------------- LINEAGE:Andreas Bushong and Mary Catharine George W. Bushong and Martha Davis John Andrew Bushong and Feraby White Hutchins James M. Bushong and Nancy Collings William E. Bushong and Ida Rambo ------------------------- I always thought that it was odd that in the 1880 census record for James and Nancy Bushong that their "son" John A. Bushong's places of birth for his parents were left blank and yet the others children's were all filled in. After now doing DNA testing on some of the Bushongs who turned out not to be Bushongs by blood, possibly this is the case with John A. Bushong, that he really wasn't a Bushong but was taken in by the Bushongs. ------------------ 1880 Federal Census: Indiana Wright Township, ED 298, Greene County Enumerated 14 June 1880 Page 81ALines 7-15, HH 226/225 James Bushong White/Male/53/Married/Farmer/KY/KY/---- Nancy Bushong White/Female/43/Wife/KeepingHouse/IN/KY/KY John A.
