There is always that question as to whether or not Bushong's and or other families we are related to owned slaves, and yes they did. I only had time to do the spelling Bushong today. In 1850, the Slave Schedule lists the following: Monroe Co. KY Henry Bushong - 1 F age 70 Black Henry Bushong, Jr. 1 M age 16 Black, 1 F age 3 Black Sulllivan Col TN, Div. 1 George Bushong, 1 M age 45, Black, 1 M age 33 Black District 58 Shenandoah Co., Va Jacob Bushong, 1 F age 74 Black, 1 F age 14, Mulatto Dist. 2, Shenandoah Co.
