The Jeremiah Dottie mentioned is the son of Zachariah, b. 1768 in SC. Jeremiah was born in SC in 1795 and died in MS in 1870. he married Phebe Miles in 1818. I am descended from their third son, also named Jeremiah, b. 1823 in Wayne CO., MS. Is this the same Jeremiah you have in mind? I know there were several other Jeremiahs, some of whom were contemporaries of my Jeremiahs. Howard

Geln: Howard is HBusby @ aol.com. There are several other descendants of Jeremiah who subscribe to this Busby site. Dottie

Marie, The Busby family of Lawrence Co, TN came from North Carolina, by way of Sumner Co, TN. Some descendants went on to Texas and Missouri, while others stayed in the Lawrence Co and Giles Co area. I'm not aware of any in Alabama or Mississippi, but I haven't followed all of the descendants. My research on this family is primarily before the Civil War. Sorry I couldn't help directly.

Do you have information re Linda Jane Busbee was born at Arkadelphia, Alabama? She married William Isaiah Allen who died November 1863 in the Civil War at Lookout Mountain. He was born Mississippi Territory 1839. They had two children - James (Jim) Marion Allen b. 1861 and Mary Elizabeth Allen b. 1862 Linda Jane Busbee had a nervous break down after William Isaiah Allen died. Some of her people came and got her. The children remained with the Allen family and it seems that they never saw their mother again. Any information you could give me re this Busby family would be most appreciated.

Good Morning, I have just read that the name Busby came from a Scandanavian word meaning "bush". My great grandmother was born in Mason County, Iowa (?) in the 1850's and came west in the early 1860's in a wagon train. Her name was Mary Ann. She and her sister Matilda married Wm. Galloway and Samuel Galloway (brothers) in Oregon/Washington. They had two brothers, one of which was named Greenberry Haywood Solomon Sherwood Busby. He never married and was known as Uncle Green to his nieces and nephews. I'm sure there were other siblings as well. Their father became ill en route, most likely in the Blue Mountains of Oregon, and the family were left by their wagon train to await his death. They made it in to Fort Walla Walla during a snow storm later in the year. There was an older brother to the the family who must have come West at the same time and probably was married to a cousin. I don't know if he stayed with his mother and helped, or went on with the train. If anyone knows more of this story, I'd love to hear from you.

That is the nice thing about this site, Sandra, just type it in and all who subscribe will see it! I found a cousin that I have not seen since school through this site! You may have the information that another Busby researcher has been looking for. Luck to all.

Howard, As you probably already read, my grandfather was William Alvin Busby. He was one of the 122 you mentioned. I lived in Louisville Mississippi from 1973 thru 1975. My mother would comb the white pages and remarked that there were a lot of Busby's in the Yazoo area. The first thing she would do when they checked in a hotel would be check out the phone book. She never called any of them. Also, there is a fine men's clothing shop in Owensboro, Kentucky which carries the Busby name. I have been told that the owner lives in Florida. Merry Christmas to all our family, which grows larger every day.
