Jean, I don't have a census listing William Buzbee in St. Clair County, only the record of William Buzbee marrying Elizabeth Key or the record has Elizabeth Rey and the records on the history of St. Clair County. It just happened that the month I visted St. Clair County there was a story about Jacob Buzbee in the St. Clair Magazine (October 2003) The article titled "Marion's Man" was about Jacob Buzbee serving in the Revolutionary War. In that article it states that Jacob Buzbee came to St. Clair County with his wife Jane and their four sons to live in St. Clair County in 1820. It states his sons married there - William to Elizabeth Rey in 1821 Joshua to Susan Moore in 1829 Jacob, Jr. to Lauren Allman in 1831 Jeremiah to to Alla T. A. Elliot in 1833 There is a first person account of Jacob Buzbee's 19 months of service in Birmingham/Jefferson County Library which is reviewed in the article (there is also a website with Jacob Buzbee's family information and first person account). Jacob Buzbee was born in 1762 Orangeburg District of South Carolina and died August 22, 1839. Jacob Buzbee and his wife Jane are believed to be buried in Ashville Cemetery although their graves are unmarked. It is too bad that no one knows the exact grave and that there is no grave marker for this soldier. Jacob Buzbee is listed as Jacob Bugby in the 1830 census of St. Clair County, AL at ancestry. (don't know if William went on to Walker County after his marriage or not, but to add to the confusion, there is another William Buzbee in Walker County area about the same time frame as William who married Elizabeth Key) Glenda ---- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2004 6:29 AM Subject: Re: [Busbee Busby] Stephen Busby - AL > I think we are on to something here.

Hi Cousin Wanda, Happy New year. I have never seen any documentation about Zachariah's wife. I checked the 1840 and 1850 MS censuses, but have found nothing about her. I will be rechecking those censuses when I find time and opportunity. It appears that Zachariah died around 1850, unless he moved out of state, but there is no mention of him in 1860 or subsequent MS censuses. Long ago, someone mentioned that Zachariah and Jeremiah, his brother had American Indian wives. I think that is dubious, but who knows. Howard

The Nathan Busby that was prominent in Houston County, Ga c 1820's was the son of Jeremiah and grandson of Thomas born about 1745 and died in Newberry District, South Carolina - so he may have been a cousin to Reese but this Nathan was not a descendant of Benjamin, Sr. [Charles, did I get this information from you?] Allen, Reese's son, was often with Nathan Busby in Houston County, witnessing deeds etc. Nathan bought quite a bit of land but later lost a great deal of his wealth and he moved further west in search of greener pastures. This Jeremiah, followed his brother Nimrod Busby to Georgia about 1808 and settled in Twiggs County, later travelled with his son Nathan to Houston County, GA. When Nathan's fortunes turned sour, they moved west and Jeremiah went to his son Jacob in Ouachita County, Arkansas just north of where Nathan settled in Louisiana. Nathan settled briefly in Union Parish Louisiana but moved further west to Guadalupe Texas by 1851 and he died there in 1855. [So this is a different person than Nathan Busby, son of Jacob Busby. see Busbys of Falls County Texas on the Busby page] Gaila ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2004 1:30 PM Subject: Re: [Busbee Busby] Jeremiah Busby b 1795, SC son of Zachariah > Gaila, > The Nathan who was a son of Jeremiah, was born in 1817, according to census > of 1850 in MS, so I am wondering if that Nathan you mentioned was another > Nathan.

Kathy Where do you do your everyday research? I can see like me you have made the pilgrimage to SC Archives, but do you have a big research center nearby. The bane of being in Sydney is dearth of records, so I have spent the last 15 years cajoling my husband into detouring into Salt Lake, Macon, SC and Sutro in San Francisco, California to have a look.

Julius By not transcripts, do you mean the Original or microfilm of the original handwriting of a court clerk. That's what I have, I got them from the SC Archives or Howard or Wayne or Sandra or Charles . Hard to remember and I now have a policy to write it on the pages where I got it from- My copy is poor and I am going to see if my new HP scanner cleans the photocopy "noise' from the image without taking the actual handwriting away. Kathy, is your copy clear? Gaila

Howard, Have you found any trace or proof of this link? "That would be John Zachariah Busby, b, 1797, SC, son of Zachariah Busby, b. 1768, SC. Correct ?" I also descend from "John" Zachariah Busby, b.1797, and if you have any more information I would appreciate you forwarding this to me. Jabe Fincher has also made this "connection" but I have not heard from him on his proof and just assume it is a supposition. It would great if it was true and could be proven. Thanks in advance, Michael Lee Busby Ohatchee, AL

Hello William Dent purchased 1 sow and pigs for 4 and 6 1/4. Wonder if he was a son-in-law? Do you know who his wife was? Kathy can you read the name on your copy of the person above William Dent?

I think we are on to something here. I grew up in the part of Walker County, AL where Stephen Busby lived and died. In fact the Busby cemetary where Stephen and Elizabeth and other Busbys are buried is only about a mile from my Mom's home. I was transferred on my job last June to Little Rock, AR where I now live - outside of Alabama for the first time in my life. I think I'll make a list of all the headstones there the next time I visit and see if that helps anybody - and in the process maybe me too. I do know that Key was a very prominent name in the Goodsprings, Walker County, AL community that I grew up in. In small communities like that most folks who have lived there for a few generations are usually related somehow, but the Keys were one surname that I have never found evidence of a strong connection with. Maybe the Busby men who married them moved elsewhere. I do know that Stephen's daughter Julie Ann married Thomas Jefferson Sanford (my great grandparents). Thomas Jefferson's Uncle, also named Thomas Jefferson Sanford moved to St. Clair County and is listed there on the 1860 census. I am looking in Heritage Quest census records and have been unable to find William Busby in St. Clair County. Could you tell me which census year lists him there? Jean Coan

Teresa, I talked with you over the phone about our Busby family. Here is a page link to marriages in St. Clair County, AL and the marriage is listed for William Buzbee and Elizabeth Key http://home.houston.rr.com/thebattlesfamily/Early%20Marriages%20in%20St.%20Clair%20County,%20AL.htm I visited the St. Clair County Courthouse back in Oct. with Ida Reno. The bride is listed as Elizabeth Ray (the writing is very hard to read), but other researchers have her as Elizabeth Key. In the 1850 Walker County, Alabama census, Elizabeth Key's brother Martin Key is living in household 245 and William and Elizabeth Buzbee are in household 257. William Buzbee (m. Elizabeth Key) is my 3rd great grandfather. His son William Buzbee born 1830 and then his son W. D. Buzbee (I believe he is also a William) who was listed as David Buzbee in the 1900 census of Walker County, Alabama. All these William's get a bit confusing too! I sure am glad to see all of this information coming forward on the Buzbee family. I thought I never would find my connection. Great to see the board so active.

I also watch the boards for any info that might be related to my Buzbee line. I believe that we may be researching some of the same. Of course all are probably related. Are you saying that Stephen is the older brother of William Buzbee (m. Elizabeth Key)? William is my 3rd g-grandfather. William had a son Jacob Latin Busbee. I did not know that Jacob was the name of William's father until I read your post. Jacob Latin Busbee named his oldest son William and he named his son Jacob. Which gives me Jacob - William - Jacob - William - Jacob. Each named their oldest son after their father's. Oh, what a confusing concept. :) William's two sons, Jacob and Martin (he died during the war) were in the Confederacy. Jacob lived to collect a pension. I haven't been able to discover why Jacob Latin Busbee left Walker County and moved to Lincoln County, TN. Could someone tell me where I can find the info that William Buzbee and Elizabeth Key were married in St. Clair County in 1821. I too believe that the Keys and Buzbee's travelled together. A few of William and Elizabeth's children married Keys. Teresa Wilbanks

Gaila, Thanks. That clears it up a bit for me. My challenge now is to distinguish between the two Jeremiahs that were in GA at about the same time, and in Twiggs County, to boot. I am certain that Jeremiah and Phebe Busby were in GA, if not Twiggs County, as their two oldest sons (in 1840/50MS censuses) give GA as their birth states. I am enjoying the exchange between you and Kathy, if only for inspiration for further research. I agree with Ernie that this is one lively list. Howard

Stephen Busby was married in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama in 1823. I have a copy of his marriage records. Family stories tell that he was not a tall man, but very strong. He was a champion arm wrestler, and men would come from miles around to try their luck wrestling him. Jean Coan
