Hi Barbara, Thanks so much for this. I will see what I can find out. Poor Ned, it must have been horrible to know your owner wanted you free and then the government would not let him do the right thing. I wonder what happened to Ned? I will see if I can find any information, but it may be next month.

I saw two different explanations, one that said she married Moses Shinn then Samuel Busby. Another had it the other way around. Do you have any idea how old Samuel was when they got married? He died right away. He could have married Esther because Moses Shinn dumped her. Maybe she cheated on Moses with Samuel. Or maybe she cheated on Moses with somebody else, and old Samuel Busby married her to give the child a name. (Seems like John H. Busby could be anybody's son.) I only saw one Samuel that nobody referred you to yet, and that was Samuel Busby, son of Joseph Busby in "Conquest," wherever that may be.

This is some information I found today at Washington Memorial Library in Macon, Ga. In a book entitled "In My Father's House Are Many Mansions-Family and Community of Edgefield County, S. C. by Orvill V. Burton pg. 393. Subject: manumission of slaves. "Between 1820 and 1840 manumission could be granted only by the state legislature. Very few blacks were freed in this 20 year span. Even before 1820, records suggest that manumission was difficult. Between 1815 and 1823, six separate petitions were presented to the General Assembly on behalf of certain slaves by two Edgefield slaveowners and later by their excutors. All petitions were denied. For example, the petitions on behalf of a slave of Benjamin Busbee dated 1 Jan. 1815, 29 Nov. 1815 and 5 Dec. 1815 and for the slaves of Benjamin Ryan dated 12 Dec. 1816, 15 Nov. 23, and Dec. 1823". So it looks as if Ned, the slave of Benjamin Busbee, did not obtain his freedom after all. Does anyone on the list have access to some of these old legislature records of South Carolina? Maybe some more information can be gleaned from them. Barbara Grizzle

In the list of children for Sheppard Busby and Mary Ellen McIlwain Busby there is a John H listed in their older children but I believe (I do not have my records handy) he died early on and they named another son John.

There is a large contingent of "Shirley" families in the Wayne Co., MS book of Whose who in Wayne Co., MS. Of course Zachariah and jeremiah were also in Wayne Co., MS in early 1800's. Perhaps this Drucilla is related to that group in Mississippi rather than GA.

Howard - you probably kindly sent this to me. I seem to have lost the emails over time, which reminded me where I received the information. Thank you. I might see if I have a copy of the 1830 census to see if she is in the same place. I wondered if she lived with Miles, and was buying things she used for everyday.

This Miles Busbee is the son of Benjamin Busbee (d Edgefield Dist, 1815) and Miles and his brothers Benjamin Jr and William Reese Busbee are named in his will, along with Benjamin Sr's wife, Susannah. William Reese was born about 1780 and so I suspect his brothers are just older or slightly younger than he was. Does anyone have this Miles wife's name?

Wouldn't she have been Susannah Agnew by 1831? I was wondering if anyone knew the name of Miles' wife? Susannah, Miles (step) mother, would have been younger than Benjamin Busbee and possibly still alive. Or it could have been another Susannah entirely?

This Susannah Busby born SC ca 1800 married a fellow last name Agnew.

I saw a Hamilton Busbee, but he lived in Ohio, I think. David Shirley and Drusilla Busby had something like 7 children when they lived in Wayne Co., MS and one of the sons was Hamilton Shirley and another was Zachariah Shirley. I'm seeing now that there's an unaccounted for daughter in the Jeremiah Busby and Phoebe (Miles) Busby household. This Jeremiah is a son of Zachariah Busby who came from SC to Wayne Co., MS. I forget the particulars of people who are not the people I'm searching for, but I did notice that there was a Busby fellow who was a merchant in New Orleans and had a son who was born in Florida. You might have posted that too! I don't live in Louisiana anymore (sigh of relief), so I can't remember where St. Tammany or Caddo Parishes are, but the Shirley family ended up founding a town called DeRidder.

Hello I was just going through some papers and found the estate papers of Miles Busbee. Miles Busbee died in 1831, but there is a Susannah Busbee at his estate sale. Would that be his (step) Mother? John Busbee, his son, is administering the estate. John Busbee, James Don and Berry Franklin are appraisng the estate or possibly John Younce, Wm Younce and Richard Gregory. Some of the purchasers are: Richard Ripley Benjamin Melton Frances Posey Derrick (Dereck) Holsonback (Holsonbaker) Jepa Williams John Busbee Robert Holsonback James Don Thomas Willilams Andrew Younce Uriah Koon John Younce Charly (Charity) Hester James Rankin John Myers Robert Kenny Nathaniel Williams Heran (Harry) Williams Henry Williams Susannah Busbee Also the estate paid: John McCarty Robert Holsonback Francis Posey James Don John Gray Mary Autry Benj Evans John Sunkins, Ordinary Mary Bloodworth A Blaud Anyone connect with any of these - Charles did you send me this estate of Miles?
