Wanda, Would Nathan ever have lived in Limestone or Freestone County, Tx which I believe is the next county to Falls Co.? Would he have any connection to a Rebecca Busby who was married to a William W. Groover and who was the mother of a daughter named Martha Kyle "Mattie" Groover? They probably would have lived around the Simboro, Tx/Wortham, Tx area but this is not proven?

Hello Sandra and I have often thought Elizabeth Busbee Jackson and Lillian Busbee Johnson were the daughters of William Reese Busbee of SC and Georgia. We found a deed which shows John Johnson as an heir to William Reese Busbee and Nimrod Jackson and James Busbee buying the deed. This deed ostensibly names Lillian as William's daughter. We don't think she would be the daughter of Mary Winn, so we would appreciate any clues as to who his first wife would have been. Elizabeth Busbee and Nimrod Jackson were married in Orangeburgh County and I wonder if there are other Busbee marriages listed there. I will post the deed to the list in the next couple of days, Gaila

Jeff, Your Thomas along with the John sounds like mine for sure. My John was born in 1795/96 in NC,but his first wife was Eveline Sims,second wife,Hannah Surratt(my ggreatgrandmother). When I get the chance,I'll send you the info I have on him and the family. I did meet back in 1996,some of John's and Eveline's children in alabama at church back there.I never knew them until then.I know they live at Grant Mountain in Jackson county Alabama,their last name is Wooten,could be one of my Wooten cousins that I don't know. I'll be back with you later sometime next week.In the meantime,there is a death in our family who is a Wooten,died this morning at 3 AM. Glenda

Hi Glenda, This is what I have on John Busby of Jackson co. Alabama. John Busby born 1757 Dobbs co. NC died 1840-1850 Jackson co. Ala wife unknown children known are 1.Thomas born abt 1809 Tenn. died ? 2.John born 1818 Jackson co. Ala died 1870-1880 Jackson co. Ala. married Jane Thornton abt 1849 Jackson co. Ala. Jane is widowed on the 1880 Jackson co. Ala census and has kids still at home John age 25 Ala. Sarah age 19 Ala. Linnie age 17 Ala. I found out where John Busby lived because in 1832 he applies for a revolutionary war pension and sais where he has lived his life but does not say anything about a wife or kids. He is living next to his brother Thomas in Jackson co. Ala. I think they probably moved to Alabama together in the 1810's. I have been trying to find out his kids and wife but there are not a lot of records in early Alabama and he had no will and I can't find a estate record either. Jeff Busby Boise, Idaho

Thanks Barbie. AND THE SEARCH GOES ON. Thought we may have had a lead on Shepperd Busby's father or grandfather, but Oh well. Dottie

Dottie that is the only place I ever found it.

My 2 cents, I believe cj is correct as to the issue of Maintenance Bond. When you consider today if a wife and husband separate, there is an obligation to one or the other of "separate maintenance". I believe in this case, if both parents died and a relative or foster family took in the children and there was an estate left, the relative or foster family would have to account for the expenses of these children and would be paid from the estate accordingly. Thanks for the encouragement, cj. Pam did come through with info regarding Robert Busby and kept my interest alive on this board. I really appreciated your words.

Barbie: In January 1998 you posted a list titled Unproven and/or Speculation on that list there appears to be a NJ 1810-1819 Census for Cumberland Co.,NJ with a "Jehu Busby" listed. In going through some papers one of our family researchers has determined with magnifying glass, etc. that the first son of Shepperd Busby and Mary Polly McIlwain was "Jehu" rather than John Busby. Do you have anything in your data base that refers to a Jehu Busby? Dottie

Hello I think you are on the right track. If you break it down, 'maintenance' could simply mean to take care of a person or persons and 'bond' could mean money. Therefore, it would be like an account to take care of a person or persons who were unable to take care of themselves. It could be a minor, or a disabled or mentally challenged person.

Hi Do you know what happened to David Jr.? Could he have moved a little north into Kentucky? My great grandfather came from Kentucky to Indiana in about 1892. I have David's Birthdate as August 3rd, 1861? I don't know, yet, where he was born. Stay at it. Take a break or search for another family sir name but don't give up. The information is out there, you just have to stay with it. CJ ----- Original Message ----- From: Ronald L.

Hi, With regards to the Sherad, Micajah & Robert Busby, presumed sons of Nathanial, who moved to TN, my Robert Busbee of Humphreys and Stewart Co. TN. is in the 1850 census, Stewart Co., and is father of David b. 1810. By 1850 David is married and out of the house but listed as living with Robert & Frances, his wife, are the following children that cannot be their children: 1. Quintus Busby b. c1827-the name was difficult to read so may not be correct. 2. Jane b. c1835 3. Emanda b. c1838 - spelled with E 4. Harison b. c1842 - spelled with one r There should be a listing in orphan records that would name the parents... My David of Humphreys Co. TN is the only child of Robert & Frances that I know of and I know these children do not belong to either David or Robert. Are any of you folks looking for these children? As I have not seen any activity on this board regarding Robert Busbee/Busby of N.C. I will post once more his son, David's family. David Busby b. 1810 TN married Lucy b. c1820 TN (Lively, I believe is Lucy's maiden name) and had family: Lively J., b 1840 Robert, b. 1842 Frances, b 1844 Wade H., Sept 1845 Daniel, 1847 David Jr. 1848 all b. TN except Wade b. MS., then had Elizabeth & Susan I believe b. in maybe Fulton Co. Ark. Then when David remarried to a Mary who already had two children, Jensey and Milton. If anyone is interested or related to this family I would be greatful for contact. I'm ready to give up. Thanks, Marsha McGee Bowen

Dear Jeff and all: I looked through every genealogy terminology resource that I have and finally just did a general search for "Maintenance Bond" and "defiinition" - as I came up empty handed with terminolgy and genealogy. For some reason, this leads me to believe that possibly they might have been indentured - without using that word. Does anyone else have any ideas? It could also have to do with their maintenance - but for some reason I don't think it would be called that - were they minors? Anyway - this is the insurance terminology and the only one that I could find. Maintenance Bond: A bond that guarantees against defects in workmanship or materials for a stated period of time after the acceptance of the completed work. Karen

One more thining! Hemrietta's had sons named William, James, Newton and Robert. She also had grandsons with those names as well as Daniel and Denton! Pam

Dear Jeff, From Court House books entitled "Orphan Records or Books" I have read like descriptions and surmise that the children have been orphaned and that the person posting the bond pledges that he will clothe, feed, and educate the child until the child reaches his majority in lieu of wages for his toil. I look at it as "Bonded Servitude" but I guess it was better than being thrown out in the cold with no roof over your head. Michael Lee Busby/AL mailto:MBusby3237@aol.com

Does anybody know what a Maintance Bond is? I found a maintance bond in Jefferson co. Tenn. on January 18, 1809 for William Busby age 14 Miles Busby age 10 Sais "To be given 1 year of school and clothing and 1 decent suit of clothes and a good horse and saddle worth 60 dollars when 21 years old." By George Edgar. Does anybody know what this means does this mean that their parents have died? Thanks, Jeff
