Dear Ms. Merrington - My guess is that the Charity you're tracking is a granddaughter of Nathaniel Busby (1728-1803) and Charity Haines Busby (? - 1809). I see the name Charity frequently in this line and would be interested if you know who her father was. It's possible that Charity Haines Busby may have had some land dealings after Nathaniel's death, but its more likely that the Charity you're interested-in is a descendant. 'Hope this helps some. Merry Christmas to You and all the Busby Researchers! Bill Busby - Chicago, IL

Hello I am very interested in Charity Busby who purchased land in the early 1800's in Fairfield County with Shad Jacobs. Does anyone have information on this lady and why isn't her husband buying the land? Thanks Gaila I can do a more serious extract of the deed if there is interest. Merry Christmas Gaila Merrington

Seeking help with the following: Matthew Busby, born around 1780 in/around Amherst Co. VA (his parents were John Busby/Busbee and Margaret ??) Saluda Tinsley Busby, wife, born abt. 1787 VA. Matthew m. Saluda 2-04-1803 Children: Milton 1804 David T. 1807 Pauline M. 1812 Nancy T. 1815 Edward 1817 and possibly my gg gmother Matilda; Rebecca could have been her first or middle name, born 1818-1820's in Adair Co, KY. I am desperately trying to find documented proof that Matilda was a daughter of Matthew & Saluda. Every bit of information points directly at them but I can find no document to prove it. Information about the children listed above: Pauline married Spottsford D. Tucker. They had a daughter named Saluda Ann; David T. married Martha Sweeney in 1832; Nancy T. married William J. Drake; Milton (born 1804) married unknown; Edward never married. Believe Nancy and her husband William were the first to come to Texas. Milton, David T. (with his motherless children), Edward and, I firmly believe, my gg grandmother Matilda, left Ky and came to Tx about 1850/51. Settled in Falls County, TX and Freestone Co, TX. When did Matthew and Saluda leave VA and migrate to KY? Who did Milton marry? He was shown on Mercer Co, KY census in 1850 but I found no wife there, just my gg gmother Matilda and her daughter, Mary Margaret who was my great gmother. I've been told Milton's wife died in Freestone Co which would mean she also made the trip to Tx. Where are Matthew and his wife buried? Eternally grateful for even a sliver of information!

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I have just put a book on my site that was written by Essie Naomi Busby. It's called "Busby, Busbee and Other Related Families". It was written in 1987 and talks mostly of the Busby's in Texas (John Hilliard Busby descendents). It has some very interesting stories and I thought you might be interested in seeing it. It's at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~kdwiam (Note: For some reason this site does not work with Netscape, so you will have to view it with Internet Explorer until I can get that fixed). There are also pictures I will attach at a later time. Let me know what you think! Kristy Williams

West Virginia seceded from Virginia in 1863 and petitioned to join the Union as a new state.

Seeking any information about Busby families who lived in Virginia, West Virginia and surrounding areas, especially the family of John Busby and wife, Margaret of Hampshire County, Virginia (or was it West VA then?) The only child I show for them is Matthew Busby, born c. 1783, married Saluda Tinsley, (born c. 1786 in Amherst Co, VA) on 2-4-1803 in Amherst Co. Saluda was the d/o David Tinsley and Nancy Ann McDaniel of VA. Can someone help me out with the names of Matthew's brothers and sisters? I'm especially searching for details of Matthew's life in Va and after he migrated to KY with his wife and some of her family.

Good Morning Busby list members. Even though I have posted my Busby family on this list several times in the past, I have had no luck in finding the information I need. Below is the information I posted on the Falls County, Texas Query Board. I would like to also post it here on the list in hopes that even more Busby researchers will see it. Hopefully someone will recognize this family and contact me. Surname: BUSBY, TINSLEY, SWEENY, SPOTWOOD, PRICE, LONG, ALLEN, GRAY, SEELEY Still seeking information about the ancestors and family of David BUSBY who came to TX in the fall of 1850 and settled in Falls Co., TX. Two very nice people have already sent me the Busby information available in the book, "FAMILIES OF FALLS COUNTY", but I am still unable to find out much about David's parents, Matthew and Saluda Tinsley BUSBY. I have the names of David's four siblings but I have reason to believe that there was another one, a sister by the name of Matilda; Rebecca is possibly her first or middle name. She was my GG grandmother. Matilda was born c. 1815-1820 in or near Adair County, KY and on her 1841 Adair County marriage license application, she named Matthew Busby as her father. Matilda married Martin W. Banks in 1841 and by 1850, with Martin Banks apparently dead or gone, she and her 8 yr old daughter, Mary Margaret, are shown on the Mercer Co, Ky census living in the home of Milton Busby and his brother, Edward. She and Mary Margaret came to Tx in 1850 with Milton and his family and settled in Freestone County in the Cotton Gin Community where in 1853, Matilda married her second husband, William W. GROOVER. I can find nothing that documents Matthew as being Matilda's father but there are just too many coincidences to believe otherwise. I believe Matilda named Mary Margaret for her own grandmother, Margaret, w/o John Busby. Mary Margaret, who married Reuben MANNING in 1855 in Freestone Co, TX, in turn named one of her daughters, Saluda A., born in 1860 in Freestone Co. There must surely be someone in either the BUSBY family or associated families who can help me find the proof I need to prove Matilda was Matthew and Saluda's daughter. I have also never been able to learn the name of Milton's wife who died about 1860. Milton was living in Freestone County at the time, so I'm assuming that both she and Milton died there. Does anyone know where they are buried? Any additional information (and any documentation that will prove Matilda's kinship to Matthew) on this family would be greatly appreciated, especially information about their lives in Kentucky before they moved to Texas.

I have traced my Busby's back to Oxford England, particularly an area called Chipping Norton and Over Norton. They were Baptists. My gr gr gr gr grandfather was John BUSBY b. 1743 in Over Norton, Oxford. He married Mary HUCKVALE in 1766. Their children were: > 1)William b 1767 Priory Farm, Over Norton Oxon ENG > 2)John b 17 Sep 1769 Priory Farm Over Norton Oxon ENG > 3)Samuel b 27 Nov 1771 Over Norton Oxon ENG > 4)Richard b 29 Nov 1773 Over Norton Oxon ENG d 10 Nov 1836 > 5)Mark b 31 Jul 1776 Over Norton Oxon ENG > 6)Jonathan b 31 Oct 1778 Over Norton Oxon ENG > 7)Mary b 8 Mar 1782 Dunthrop Heythrop Oxon ENG > 8)Thomas b 5 Jul 1784 Dunthrop Heythrop Oxon ENG I am descended from Mark, above, but I'm told that Samuel went to the United States, married either before or after he went and raised his family there. I don't know what part of the country, but if any of you are descended from Samuel BUSBY, this is his family in England and we are related. Please let me know if you have Samuel in your family line. If anyone is interested in this family above, the IGI Batch number is C092431. Mark BUSBY's children with his wife, Sophia MERRY are in Batch number C065811. Mark's family lived in Spaldwick, Huntington (actually Stow).
