Linda Thanks, I called someone at the archives today and told him what had happened, he said he would post them to me. Thanks so much for your offer. Greatfully, they take visa, so I don't have to worry about sending a check. Thanks again to everyone who responded.

Wayne, I have not seen Miles' will on a website. I will be glad to send you a copy of his will. I think I have your address somewhere among my papers, but to be on the safe side, could you email it to me at my AOL address? Bet you don't miss the cold weather in Silver Spring. Regards, Cousin Howard

It is also interesting to me. Nathaniel Robinson is a brother to my 4th great grandmother from the Lindsey line. Mrilyn

Hello Howard, You probably sent me these papers on Miles Busby's estate that I have. And thanks very much to everyone who has answered about living in South Carolina. I am going to call the archives in SC today and see if I can order the papers on Ned's emancipation trial. Three trials and sadly he was not emancipated. If they can't help me, maybe I could send a check to someone who would order the records from the archives and mail them to me. I will scan them in and we can get them on the webpage. Yes, on the South Carolina list, there has been mention of the fact that they found several boxes of material stored and they were going through them "very carefully". I would imagine the paper itself could be fragile. The person I heard this from was Dr Connie from the Old Edgefield District Genealogical Society. Hopefully, they can get these records microfilmed. Re Benjamin's estate, I think father's sometime gave their children a "portion" when they reached a Majority (21 years old?) or when they married, bless those fathers who mention the children in wills and just give them a dollar, so we see who they were. Benjamin didn't do that. With DNA we can tell which Busby men were related to Benjamin, although we can't say what relation they have to him, could be brothers, cousins or uncles but at least we get the line right.

Hi Howard, thanks for the info. Do you have a convenient way to send me a copy of Miles' will if you are willing to share it? Is it available on a web site? Way e

Hi Gaila: If the archives can not help today maybe I can go out there on Thursday to get copies for you. I think I am the only one who responded who lives close. I live about 15 miles from the archives. Let me know what you want copies of and the dates if you have them. I could use a break from my normal routine. Oh by the way no money needed. Copies and postage aren't that much. Will be glad to help. Linda Sent: Monday, December 01, 2003 4:00 PM .

Judy and Ted- the GGranddaughters are the children of Marshall Norton Jr. who was the son of Josehine Bragg Norton , daughter of hanson and Josephine. Didn't I send you a print out from Family Tree Maker that had all of Hanson's line? Marshall Norton Jr. was the only grandchild Hanson and josephine had- I think!!!!!!! As for the Olivia and Estelle, I haven't a clue. Yes, I would love to see the military records. I did not know Perry was engaged nor did I know about the guardian. I am still planning to send pictures after dinner tonight.

Gaila, I agree with you that the Miles Busbee in Benjamin's will was one and the same mentioned in that email. I have a copy of Miles Busbee's will as well as Benjamin's. About 20 years ago, I stopped in at the genealogy library in Edgefield, SC, in search of documents on my ancestors. I learned that the Court House in Abbeville, SC had the documents, but did not have time to go out there to look them over. Instead, I later had the head librarian in Edgefield go out there and make copies for me. That is how I happened to have those copies of the wills. I am positive that Susannah was the wife of Benjamin (his second? third? ) and could have been a stepmother to those three men mentioned in the will. It is possible that some of Benjamin's sons had already left the state--for GA, TN, MS--and that is why he did not mention them. Most of his property was in land and dispensables like corn, wheat, whatever, plus utensils, tools, etc. I think Benjamin willed whatever property he had left only to those who were living nearby. Did not you say that some new discoveries ( of documents) occured in Orangeburgh recently? Any more news about that?

Wanda I was looking at the 1880 Census, seeing if we could identify all the different Busbys on the census. I am not related to this William J.Busby. One list that I have has a great database of proven or almost proven Heards that go back to 1719. And we add to it all the time. I think a project like that for the Busbys would be wonderful. I just have to see how we could go about it. Gaila > What state is your Wm J Busby listed in?

No I think this is Miles Busbee son of Benjamin Busbee who died in 1815. Susannah could have been Miles stepmother or perhaps a sister. For whatever reason Benjamin only mentioned three sons and no daughters, although we feel he may have had more children. Perhaps, if a child married he gave them their "portion" leaving just the last three sons to be named in his will and inherit. Some one mailed this to me and I wondered who or I could have found it on one of my excursions to South Carolina. Does anyone live in South Carolina?
