Hi Craig, Most of us are on the Busby list with Roots from North America, but on the Busby UK message boards at Rootsweb, you might be able to locate a few hints. I would also try the 1880 UK census at the LDS site (Family Search) and see if you can find a connection. We do have a Busby DNA project going and there is information on the Busby Homepage. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~busby/index.htm At the bottom of the homepage, you will find information on the project and a drop down menu where you will find among other things the England Name Index. What are you grandparents dates and names.

To one and all I am really hoping that someone might be able to assist me with information, as at present I am having great difficulties getting my family tree going. My linage is through the Busby's in Kent, but I cannot get back further than my Grandfather at present, and was wondering if Anyone out there is researching this side of the family Thanks Craig Busby (aka Buz)

I do not believe the papers are free. You might check before requesting copies of paperes. DAR has just recently raised some of is prices. Dottie

Paula, Have you looked at the webpages recently? I see that Diana Busby has a GEDCom on the Busby page, that includes two Matthew Busbys. Go to the Busby Webpage and search for Matthew and Mathew http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~busby/index.htm Alternatively, click on the down arrow on the Busby Site Index and scroll down to Matthew Busby and click. There is lots of new information on the webpage, that Farrell and Tiffany have been working hard on. Don't forget to recheck it and make sure you have all of the information available. The Busby list archives are another place to check , to see if anyone has posted anything of interest while you have been working on other lines. a.. Archives. You can search the archives for a specific message or browse them, going from one message to another. Some list archives are not available; if there is a link here to an archive but the link doesn't work, it probably just means that no messages have been posted to that list yet. a.. Search the BUSBY archives b.. Browse the BUSBY archives We still need more Busby men from different areas in the US, as we have uncovered several different lines of Busby/Busbee descendants. We really need men from the Northeastern US, from England and Wales and other places around the world to see if we can make more connections.

Hello Paula, You can go to this webpage on the DAR Site and put in the details for the Busby you are looking for and they will get back to you. http://www.dar.org/natsociety/pi_lookup.cfm If you find an existing link on the DAR site, you can request that persons papers. That will show one line of descendancy through that man. Just follow the links on the DAR site.

Hope someone on the list can furnish additional info on the above families. I understand that my 3rd great gfather, Matthew Busby, married Sarah "Sally" Drake Winfrey in Adair Co, KY on Aug 7, 1821. I'm told that Sarah was the d/o Joel Drake and the widow of Elisha T. Winfrey. Elisha and Sarah had 2 daughters, Caroline and Nancy Winfrey and after Elisha's death, one or both became wards of Matthew. I'm trying to figure out who was in Matthew's household on the 1820, 1830 and 1840 Adair Co, KY census records. I need answers to the following questions: 1. When was Sarah "Sally" Drake born? All I have is ca 1796 somewhere in VA. Were there any other children, beside Caroline and Nancy, born to Elisha and Sarah? Caroline and Nancy married Green Jones and Philip Jones. I need birth dates for Caroline and Nancy. 2. When and where did Sarah "Sally" die, or did she and Matthew divorce? Anyone know dates or locations? I show a son, William D. Busby, born ca 1821-22 that could have been either the son of Matthew's first wife, Seluda Tinsley, or Sarah. The initial "D" causes me to wonder if it could stand for DRAKE? Seluda seemed to have favored the initial "T" for her children; probably for TINSLEY. I also have a blank spot on the 1830 Adair census for a 0-4 male. Until I learn where Sarah was in 1830, I won't be able to know if this was a son of Matthew and Sarah or Matthew and 3rd wife, Mary "Polly" Fair. I don't have a date for Matthew's marriage to Mary "Polly" Fair. 3. Does anyone have any record of where Caroline and Nancy were living in 1820 and 1830? I show Caroline married in 1831 and Nancy in 1841. 4. I believe that Matthew and Sarah may also have had a daughter born to them Oct 15, 1825. Her name was Permelia/Pamelia Busby. She is listed with Matthew's other children on his 1850 land deeds as the widow of James Fitzpatrick. On the 1850 Adair Co census, she was living in the household of William Jackson Drake and wife, Nancy T. Busby. If she was the d/o Matthew and Sarah, she would be a half sister to Nancy T. Busby Drake. Permelia married Joseph Evans Winfrey in 1853, Carroll Co, MO and died Oct 10, 1858. She and Joseph had at least one child, Nancy P. Winfrey, born 1854 in Carroll Co. Permelia is buried in Carey Cemetery. Again, until I can find out when and where Sarah "Sally" either died or was divorced, I can't be sure if Permelia/Pamelia was Sarah's or if she was the child of Matthew and Mary "Polly" Fair. Sure hope someone can help me with this as I've been "stuck" for a long time. Paula

Bonnie Schrack is a frequent contributor to the Genealogy- DNA list; here is what she has to say about R1b - which is what Dan matches: R1b Haplogroup Basque and Irish populations have an extraordinarily high proportion of R1b males, with few other haplogroups, and are thus thought to represent the earliest peoples to settle Western Europe. They are simply the most unmixed, because of their relative isolation. A major reason so many males from the British Isles have matches in Spain, Portugal and the Basque country, is that the Iberian peninsula was a crucial zone of refuge during the height of the last Ice Age, and it was from there that the Atlantic coast of Europe was repopulated once the glaciers receded and allowed the North to be inhabited, around 10,000 years ago. Combined with what is known from archaeology about prehistory, a lot can be inferred about why there are such strong similarities between many people from Spain, Portugal, the Basque country (and regions like Galicia, Andalusia, etc., etc.), and Atlantic areas that lie north from there.

John Milton Busby - World War I - Mobile Co.,AL (Wayne Co., MS) son of Charles Edward Busby. Served in Rainbow Division, U.S. Army 1916 - 1918 in Germany and France.

I do not see Oren Busby listed. He was an older son of Sheppard Busby and Mary Polly Busby. I have a copy of a letter to Waynesboro Mississippi paper he wrote in 1918 regarding all of the hoopla about the World War I vets returning. Uncle "iron", as he was called, recited his Civil War experiences, their lack of food and shoes, etc. He also told of the night before he and his brother James left home to go to war. Uncle "Iron" lived to a ripe old age and is rememebered in Wayne Co., MS for wearing a white suit and having a long beard. He was brother to my grandfather, Charles Edward Busby (the youngest son of Sheppard Busby). Dottie

I have seen a reference to Benjamin Busby RS, but feel it must be Benjamin junior. I might troll through the DAR database and see if they have any Busbys listed. Gaila

Hello Dan, The Busby name matching 12 to 12 for other names is because your line of Busbys have the Atlantic Modal Haplotype,. Simply explained you match with the largest group of European men from the time before surnames. So I don't think your forefathers fooled around a lot. <smile>. The 12/12 markers is the smallest amount of markers, which can distinguish family lines. It is surprising to have a small family name like Busby and have four seperate lines, this is probably due to families Anglicizing their names. If you upgraded to 25 markers you would cut down the number of matches, but the Atlantic Modal Haplotype is still going to be the most common group coming out of Europe and you are the perfect match.

Yesterday I changed my privacy setings in my account. Today I got a notification that I had a n exact match 12 0f 12. When I looked at my account there were 116 exact matches and not one Busby. I guess this means that my fore fathers fooled around a lot or I have lots of cousins with a common ancestor about 48 generations or so back.

Last year I registered my research with DAR and joined their organization with my Revolutionary War Ancestor John Salyer of Greenville, South Carolina b. ca 1763 d. abt Aug 30, 1819 Fayette County, Indiana. I descend from his son James Scott, his daughter Sarah, her son William Paris Henderson, his daughter Georgie Emma Opal Henderson, her daughter Hazel Dell Miller, her son William Vincent Van Hoosan, his daughter ME. The Salyer's are my link to the Busby's as the son of James Scott Salyer, Charles Salyer's daughter Mary Alice married into the Busby line. Tiffany Support our Troops!
