Kay, Saw your posting to Judy about Benjamin Buzbee. I dont know if this is the same Benjamin Buzbee of your posting, but there are surveyor maps in the Edgefield,SC genealogy library bearing the name and signature of Benjamin Buzbee (I don't recall the date). Folks at the library there told me this Benjamin was from Orangeburg. Thought this information might assist you in confirming Benjamin's occupation. Howard R. Busby

Judy, I am certaint that the people you are talking about is my Buzbee family. But, we do have some differences between your notes and mine. Stephen Buzbee of S.C. was my gg grandfather. He was married to Margret Ann Elizabeth Baltzegar. Stephen was born April 28, 1817 in S.C. He married Margret in 1840. They had 11 children. They moved from S.C. to Saline Co., Ark. (which eventually became Grant Co.) Stephen died October 17, 1890. Stephen and Margret are buried at McPherson Cemetery in Saline Co., Ark. All of this I can verify because I have documentation. I have information, but not positive proof, of the following. This info was taken from a person who turned out to be my cousin. It is from handwritten notes which she had obtained from her family members, so none of this is verified by any documentation. Stephen Buzbee and Nimrod were brothers. There were 4 brothers, Bennett, Asa, Nimrod and Stephen. As per the notes: The Buzbee and Rambo families came from England and settled in Orangeburg District, S.C. A son of the Buzbee family married a daughter of the Rambo family. They had 4 sons, all born in Orangeburg. (I also believe there were 3 sisters, Margaret, Clarissa, and Levitha.) Bennet married and moved to Florida and died at 86 years. Asa went to Alabama, married in Bibb Co., died at 91 years. Nimrod lived in North Mississippi with his family, died several years before the Civil War. Stephen married, had 5 children, moved to Arkansas, had 6 more children. I believe that info about Asa is somewhat off. It stated he lived to be 91, however I have found a cemetery record stating he was born 5-24-1806 and died 9-22-1886, which would make him about 80 at time of death. The next information was taken from a book called "The Baltzegar Family from 1696 to 1900" by Herrell F. Miller. Mr. Miller was a fellow genealogy researcher who wrote this book about 20 years ago. I have just received this book recently and have not had a chance to try to verify anything on my own. It states the following: In 1840, Margret Baltzegar married Stephen Buzbee, a son of Benjamin Buzbee and Rachel Rambo. Stephen and Margret left S.C. in 1850 and went to Saline Co., Ark., where he was granted land by the government due to his service in the Seminole Indian War in Florida. The piece goes on to gives names and various info about their children. After looking at your Buzbee info, I am convinced that we are talking about the same people, and as you stated, I am also convinced that the Rachel listed with Nimrod Buzbee in 1850, must be his mother. (which would also be Stephen's mother). I have other notes that also state that Benjamin Buzbee and Rachael Rambo were the parents of Margaret, Levitha, Bennet, Asa, Nimrod, Clarissa and Stephen. Also Benjamin was supposedly a surveyor in S.C. Here again, this is not verified. You said something about Civil War records for Stephen Buzbee. If this is my Stephen Buzbee, he would have been about 44 years old. If this is the same Stephen, he would have probably enlisted in the state of Arkansas. Does that correspond to the records that you have? I was hoping to work on this more after school starts back. It's hard for me to get to the archives while the kids are home. Let me know what you think. If you wish, I could send you copies of the notes and records which I do have. I could probably get them scanned in sometime tomorrow, but will wait to hear from you first. I'm hoping that we could connect on this and perhaps share information. Kay H.

OK cousins, I'm still out here trying to verify my Nimrod's parents. Listed below is the census info I have from 1860 in Oktibbah co., Miss. I'll call the Senior Nimrod #1 and my great grandfather Nimrod #2 :-) I am trying to find anything showing that Nimrod I's father was Stephen Buzbee from S.C. I have been told by a cousin that it is but don't have anything in writing. Any and all help appreicated......thanks. Judy >From the 1860 Oktibbah Co. Miss. Census records... birth years are approx. NAME AGE BIRTHPLACE Nimrod 57 S.C. - 1803 Charolotte 50 N.C. - 1810 MAIDEN NAME WAS HAWS Caroline 19 MS. - 1841 All the children are shown as born in Miss. Miss. Ira 16 1844 Calvin 15 1845 Mary 13 1847 Stephen 12 1848 Benjamin 10 1850 Nimrod 8 1852 My great grandfather Rachel 82 S.C. about 1778 I'm convinced this has to be the Rachel Rambo - yes/no??? A cousin has told me that he found Rachel living with a daughter Martha Montgomery in 1850 but don't have the county. This same cousin has told me that Nimrod's father was Stephen. I haven't been able to get any documentation on that however. Now since Nimrod was alive in 1860, he couldn't have died in much before the civil war started. My Stephen was in the confederate army and I got copies of his records. He was married but had no children and is buried in either Drew or Ashley Co, Ark.

I have made some major finds regarding my Busby ancestors that resided in the Shelby & Chilton Co, AL areas. If you have a connection with this family, please contact me directly. Karen (Kblevin@aol.com) Descendants of Meredith Busby Generation No. 1 1. MEREDITH2 BUSBY (NEEDHAM1 or SHERA(R)D/SHEROD/SHERWOOD ) was born Bet. 1788 - 1790 in SC or TN. He married MARY POLLY BROOKS. Meredith was a Methodist minister in Shelby Co, AL - they lived in the area for quite some time - and are believed to have moved there around 1836 or before. I believe that Meredith may have been born in SC and most of his children were born in TN. Children of MEREDITH BUSBY and MARY BROOKS are: 2. i. HAMPTON3 BUSBY, b. 1811, TN. ii. CATHERINE BUSBY, b. 1812. 3. iii. KESIAH BUSBY, b. December 15, 1812; d. August 16, 1890, Shelby County, AL. 4. iv. JOHN A. BUSBY, b. Abt. 1817, TN; d. WFT Est. 1851-1911. v. NANCY BUSBY, b. 1821. vi. BENJAMIN F. BUSBY, b. 1828. 5. vii. SAMUEL ELIJAH BUSBY, b. January 23, 1831, TN?; d. March 26, 1904, AL?. Excerpt from "Early History of Calera, Alabama," by Barbara Baker Roberts In addition to John R. Gamble there were a few hardy pioneers, mainly from South Carolina, who made their stakes at or near Calera with "farming" as the major occupation. Names of other early landowners before 1850 were (1) William Watson, born about 1816 (2) Richard Green, probable son-in-law to Elijah Seale (3) Robert Hartley (4) Daniel Muse (5) Virgil N. Gardner (6) Samuel A. Wallace (7) Maraday (Meredith) Busby, a Methodist Minister, born about 1788 (8) William Moore (9) Elizabeth Fields (10) Thomas Crim, born about 1814 (11) Hardy Crim, born about 1795 (12) Robert H. Crim (13) Edmund King (14) John Brooks (15) Rev. William Seale. Only a few families lived in Calera in early 1850, and the small community was called Buxahatchie. When the railroad arrived and lime workers came to settle, the place acquired the name of Limeville. A Confederate post office was established during the war years, the postmasters during this time were James A. Mullins, N. McQueen, and H.V. Boyd, and according to early records Daniel T. Seale served as a mail carrier. Again, some time during the war the name was changed to Lime Kilns, also referred to as Lime City and Lime Station. In 1860 "Limeville Baptist Church" was constituted with fifteen members. The pastor was Daniel T. Seale, son of one of the early settlers, Rev. William Seale. According to railroad schedules and post office records, the community name was changed to Calera between February 21, 1869 and May 10, 1869, when the U.S. post office was established and the first postmaster was Almon B. Turner, Jr., followed on December 9, 1870 by Oscar Nabors. Calera comes from the Latin word "calx" meaning lime. Generation No. 2 2. HAMPTON3 BUSBY (MEREDITH2, NEEDHAM1) was born 1811 in TN.

While searching through records in the Scotland Co.,NC library for my McLAURIN family line, I found the following info quite by accident: John Busby married Roseanne McCall 8/9/1807 in St. Charles Parish, Missouri. It states he came from Upper NC. They had a son William Solomon Busby b. 1809 in Missouri. He married Harriet Purdum Brown. John Busby died in 1815 killed by Osage Indians. William went to Texas in 1830 to help defeat Mexico. He had a daughter Harriet Elizabeth Busby. "John Busby was a friend and neighbor of Daniel Boone and moved with him to Missouri". It was noted that all of this information was submitted by a Jeanette Tabb (no address given). Hope this helps someone. Dottie

Hi Bill, Thank you for the information, but unfortunately none of these names sound familiar. I will keep them on hand in case I am able to find anything on my grandfather and father that would relate to these names. Thanks again.

This is a follow-up to the post I made below: As it turns out I was missing the dwelling information on the second listing - the family in question was not visiting but had simply moved (but again, was counted twice on the same census). Go figure - some folks don't find their ancestors on the census - but I find mine twice and moving next to his sons! - Karen I just wanted to forewarn anyone that might be researching the Busby family in Shelby Co, AL about the 1850 Census. On this census I found one of my Busby ancestors listed twice - I couldn't understand why - the names were the basically the same, dates were just a tad off but they were listed with a whole other group of Busbys! It finally dawned on me to check the dates the census was notated and lo and behold one of them was taken on 25 December 1850! That explained it! They were visiting family on Christmas Day! I am really surprised that the census taker (same person noted) took them down twice! Karen

Frank, I hope this helps you... John Wesley Busby, my ggrandfather, of Iuka/Tishomingo county MS, was the son of Robert and Sarah Adeline Caroline Turner. Robert was born in Dickson Co., TN 1819 son of Sion and Jane Nolen Busby. Sion was born 1801 in Fairfield Co., S.C. Sion was son of Micajah Busby, Sr. Micajah was son of Needham Busby. Needham was born Johnson Co., N.C. in 1754. He is Rev. War veteran. Pension # 59114. I don't know Sion's middle initial or exact places of residence so it is possible that he was listed on the 1850 Tunica Census. Let me know if you connect with my line of Busbys.

Bill -- Is your John Wesley Busby related to S. M. Busby reported on the Tunica, MS 1850 census? I am trying to find out who S. M. Busby's parents are and where they came from in Alabama.

Thanks for the information, I am at a standstill with the BUSBY line and seem to be getting nowhere. The ones who could help are gone now and that makes it more difficult. Will let you know if I find a connection. Norma

Dear Norma - It's interesting that our ggrandfathers both had the same middle name; my ggf John Wesley Busby was from Iuka/Tishomingo MS (1851-1895); don't know if there's any connection with the Arkansas line you mentioned.

Hello I am looking for BUSBY'S too. My ggrandfather was Robert Wesley Busby and he is buried in Ark. He had a brother named Aldrige and his father was also Robert W. Busby they came from S.C. If this rings a bell let me know. Norma Nanaco8581@aol.com
