I called Roosevelt county last Friday talked to the Clerk. I asked her to tell me the name on the Deed and she told me without a almost exact date that Bushong bought the land and the exact date that Reid bought it from Bushong, she couldn't help me. If you have information that would help to find the exact dates of when James Wilson Bushong first bought the land and when he sold it to Reid, then I order the Deed to see what it says.

They herded sheap on about 160 acres. I believe that would be around 1904 because my dad was 11 yrs old and his brother was 12 1/2. That would be James Wilson Bushong with sons Robert and Thomas N. That would be before they settled in Gladwin Michigan On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 6:29 PM, Russell Bushong <chochoruss@aol.com> wrote: > > John, You may or may not be correct.
