Hello Billie Jones is a very research oriented SC genealogist. Here is her take on the Reese - William Reese conundrum. I wonder if anyone else has more Estate sales documents from Edgefield District SC to see if they every repeat the names. Can everyone check any other Estate sale documents you do have to see if we can find consensus.

It looks like Carteret, SC became Granville County, SC, then Granville became part of Beaufort District, then Beaufort District split into four counties, one of which was Granville County, then all four counties became part of Beaufort County. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/3837/sc_countyhistories.html "OLD GRANVILLE COUNTY (1683 - 1769) Created: 1683, discontinued 1769 One of the original "counties" created by the Crown for administrative purposes, Granville extended from the Combahee River in the north to the Savannah River in the south. See map above (1710) for modern counties represented in this area. NOTE: All records for this area were filed in Charleston. The area known as Granville County became Beaufort District in 1769. " http://www.martygrant.com/gen/refs/sccounty.htm Carteret*1685 Proprietary County. Name changed to Granville 1708. Granville*1708 Name changed from Carteret. Abolished 1769.

Hi Kathy, I have been going through the book "Some of the Buzbees and Their Best Friends, Volume 1" by Richard Buzbee. pgs 151/2/3 He is talking about William Busby I of Virginia then to SC and William Busby II, and thinks "Miles Busby b 1750 received title to 100 acres and then 200 acres in Craven County, SC in 1775" "Miles Busby was paid for militia duty in 1781, and 1782". He feels the Miles Busby that was in the Rev War was the son of William Jr, not the son of Benjamin. He explains that discussing Indian heritage, not about the service As I have said, I haven't studied Miles in great depth and the name was prevalent among different branches of the family. Richard Buzbee has Benjamin Jr dates to be (b 1765 to 1775), nothing on Reese, and Miles (1760 to 1765). Nothing there to assist - my dates for William Reese are 1775-1780. To me this is still inconclusive but if Miles the Patriot, is Miles the son of William Jr & Elizabeth, not the son of Benjamin, your ages for Benjamin's sons may be somewhat skewed. The land certainly seems to be awarded to the two sons of William Jr and Elizabeth after South Carolina court arguments in 1773 and 1774 regarding Simon and Miles being the grandson of Tabethy...who may or may not been an Indian woman. Certainly her neighbors would swear she was not and also a John Busby says she is a white woman. Once this was proven her two grandsons were allotted tracts of land: Miles 100 acres, then 200 acres in Craven County in 1775 and "Simon 100 acres in Craven County in 1773. the land was located on "Buzbees Creek, a branch of the Little River." At one time this entire book, "Some of the Buzbees and their best friends" was available online in pdf. Regards, Gaila > > Now let's consider what I have gathered on Miles. Just to lay on the table for now and come back to later. According to the book by Bobby Gilmer Ross, South Carolina Roster of Patriots in the American Revolution, page 127, a Miles Busby is listed. "He served in the militia during 1781 and 1782 under Generals Sumter and Henderson." Can I prove that was Miles Busby, son of old Benjamin? - not yet. I need to look up more references before doing that for certain. Do I think that was Miles Busby, son of old Benjamin? - yes! > > Miles Busby had land in Craven County on the North East side of Broad River. [Craven County was one of the 4 original counties. In 1769 the Cheraws District, one of the 7 original judicial districts, was created from it. By 1798 that district was discontinued to form Chesterfield, Darlington, & Marlbobo Counties.] Some of his land came from old Benjamin and other by grant. > > The important document fo me is Edgefield County Deeds, Vol. 46, pp 202-203. It is dated December 12, 1825. In the deed, William Buzbee, Benjamin Buzbee, Mary Ann Buzbee, and Rebecca Buzbey sell and release to Miles Buzbee and John Buzbee their right title and interest in a tract of land containing 100 acres, part of a tract of land conveyed from Benjamin Caffield to Miles Buzbee Sr. What does this document mean? Why were the children of Miles Sr. selling some of his land to each other? I think the best explanation was because Miles Sr. was dead and his children were dividing his land. I found Miles Buzbee Jr. on the S.C. 1820 census but not Miles Sr. I only found a Miles Busby on the S. C.1830 census. (I think that is because Miles Sr. is dead and his son no longer needs the Jr. next to his name). > > Now look at the age of Miles on the S.C. 1830 census. It is age range 60-70. That means he was born in the year range 1760-1770. No one born around 1770 could have served in the militia from 1781-82. (Of course the close you get to 1760 the more likely it becomes.) Miles was obtaining land in 1773 (and some was from his dad). No one born even in 1760 would have been obtaining land in 1773, and this is the correct Miles Busby. Thus there has to be a generation in here. The Miles Busby on the 1830 census is Miles Jr. > > I have estate papers for a Miles Busby dated October 17, 1831 [Edgefield County Probate, Box 5, Package 150.] The only two Busby purchasers were Susannah and John Busby. I think Susannah was the wife of Miles Jr. and John was his son (or brother). If these papers were for Miles Sr., then where were William, Benjamin, and Miles his known sons? > > Miles Busby, son of old Benjamin, is my "mile marker" for determining the generation to which Reese and William Reese belonged. Reese was with Miles Sr. and William Reese was with Miles Jr. I think the documentation is fairly good. > > Does this help with your question? We are dealing with some Sherman burned counties (not Edgefield thankfully) so documentation is not what we may want. We are also dealing with men who died intestate so there never was a will. Yes, more documentation needs to be unearthed but thus far I am feeling fairly good about my call on Reese and William Reese. > > Kathy > > > ==== BUSBY Mailing List ==== > Busbee Busby and Variations Database > http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~busby/ > Listadmin: Gaila Merrington [email protected] > >

Wayne I want to order one of Buzz`s CD`s does he have one with his greatest hits or something like that which one is your favorite? Thanks Sandra

I beg your pardon..............yes there is a Craven County in SC

Hello Group, I believe Craven County is a coastal county in North Carolina. I don't believe there is a craven county in SC. Vohn

I read this one so early this morning that I had to have a little "caffine" to think straight. The only thing that I will say about Georgia Busby, she was either a Busby with that terribel temper or she married "saints". How many of you think she married "Saints"? Marilyn

Marilyn That is what I am saying....the convention today is that Sr is father and Junior is son. In the 19th century, it simply implied one was older and another was younger. It did not point to father-son, it could have been uncle - nephew or cousins. The convention changed and in todays terms we would expect to see father and son.

Hi Kathy, I went to see what other estate papers I have to see if I could find an indication that once named in estate papers, one wouldn't be renamed. In the estate pages I have for Alexander Johnson (believed to be the son of Lillian Busby & John Johnson, Houston County, GA), a person comes up a second time [Stancil Howard ]. To me your proposition doesn't apprear so straightforward,I feel it could be a clue or it could be a coincidence. For both of us the evidence seems to be ancedotal, so I have asked South Carolina researchers if they have information that could clarify this. Secondly, I think we would have to be careful of Seniors and Juniors, in the time period we are speaking of and well into the early 20th century, a Junior was not always the son of a Senior. In Benjamin's will, Benjamin Jr is named as the son of Benjamin Sr; but in other cases, it could be nephew and uncle, or cousins. [I have a case of two cousins one older than the other born circa 1850 and the older cousin was Senior. So deciding relationships by names and the junior appendage isn't proof. First cousins: Bailey Armstrong Heard, Sr - son of Jacob Foreman Heard and Bailey Armstrong Heard, Jr - son of Isaac Foreman Heard. This Junior -Senior convention is wide ranging and documented] In another message you mention that you feel Zachariah is a son of Benjamin, Sr. I agree, but he is in the same age range as William Reese, so he would promote my theory that Reese and William Reese are the same person. I agree that Benjamin Jr died prior to Reese and Miles. I have Mile's estate papers, but have not connected him to Miles the Revolutionary soldier so that is another project. So your evidence is more compelling to you than to me. I do agree that I no longer can take it for granted that Reese and William Reese are the same person. I will be looking at finding more evidence. Certainly if they are seperate people, then I have no reason to assume that they are father and son. Regards, Gaila
