>From what mom says we are at that! I took your e-mail home and showed it to my mom last night and she couldn't remember your name. My mom, my husband and our little boy went to a family reunion at Aunt Ruby's sisters house here in Claremore within the last month or so. This sounds like a stupid question... but were you there. Mom always introduces me to people when I go to those things and I have no clue who they are or how I am related to them. She usually rattles off some kind of lineage and I just stand there with this blank look on my face, I guess she thinks I'm following her?? At any rate, my name is Connie Barnes. I am Grover and Delaphine's youngest of four children. I have three older brothers and we all live here in Claremore. I have been helping mom research her side of the family and she had expressed some interest in researching Daddy's side of the family to find out if there was any indian heritage there or not. I've just began and am only doing it in my spare time. I would love to visit with you sometime and we can share information. My home number is (918) 342-5495. Look forward to hearing from you!

Well, from all the data I have read on the Busbee males, I would say he more than likely did father a child at 75. <VBG> Barbie At 10:44 PM 6/23/99 +1000, you wrote: >Someone sent me this obit for Benjamin Busby.

Good Morning Busby Rootsweb Members: I have had no luck in finding my Rebecca Busby. It's been some time since I've posted my last query, so I thought I would post my information again. Rebecca was born c. 1810-1825, unknown where. Between 1852 and 1855, she supposedly married William W. Groover. This may have been in Texas where William was living at the time or maybe in Ga where William was born. She was said to be the 2nd wife of William, so it is possible that Busby was not her maiden name. In 1855, she and William had a daughter named Martha Kyle "Mattie" Groover, born unknown location. Since Martha Kyle( "Mattie") married Thomas Charles Ramsey in Cotton Gin, Texas in Freestone County, it is likely that she was born in Tx. Sometime after 1855, William married a 3rd time and it is in this marriage that I think he married my unknown first name gg grandmother Banks. I do not know what had happened to my gg grandfather Banks by this time...divorce or death?? William brought "Mattie" with him into this marriage, (so my family history says,) so I don't know what had happened to Rebecca...again, divorce or death. I am unable to locate any marriage or death records for these people for more information about birth or marriage locations. Is there any one researching a Busby family that can make a connection for me? The Busby name may be spelled Busbee or in other ways. I've been looking for a long time; sure hope someone can help me. Thanks, Paula Dunklin

I have a Zachariah BUSBY in my line, b. 1768 in SC, d. ca. 1850 in MS. He is listed as having sons, 1.Jeremiah, b. 1795, SC, d. 1880, MS; 2. John Zachariah, b. 1800, d. unk; 3. William, b. 1805, d. after 1870 in Mobile CO.,AL. Sons # 2 and #3 may not be Zachariah's, but they are listed in various postings I have received. Do you have a Jeremiah in any of your lines? Thanks. Howard Busby

Connie, No,I haven't been there.I live in Shawnee,Oklahoma.My phone # is:405 275-0188.Best time to get me is after 10 PM,sometimes before 9 AM unless it's a tuesday and wednesday on my off days. I'll be leaving for alabama July 1st,to go to a family reunion there. I'm sending my info on Busby's to my cousin in alabama,she knows more of our family than I do. I have lived in oklahoma the majority of my life,minus 6 years in texas.I don't know alot of my mom's family,some only names,no faces.Her family still mostly lives in alabama,but there are some here in oklahoma that are cousins of hers from our line. There was a Busby,Siebert who was in Yell county Arkansas who was my greatgrandmother's 1/2 brother,he was hung for stealing horses. Andrew Jackson Busby,Harriett,Sarah Busby is Siebert's brothers/sisters,Eveline and John's children. My line is Hannah Surratt and John Busby,children are:James Busby,Lydia Busby Drain(Shirley)one who knows family,Malissa Busby,Delilah Busby (my greatgrandmother).

Sieberd married Mary E. McPherson,Andrew married Sarah McPherson.Sarah and Mary were sisters.They were married in Fort Payne,Alabama as well. Do you know any of these names? Thanks! Glenda

Someone sent me this obit for Benjamin Busby. My ancestor Reese Busby b circa 1775 was supposed to be his son. Named in Benjamin's will, the problem is that if the Obit is true Benjamin would have been born in 1700 and Reese was born in 1775, is it likely for a 75 year old man to father an infant? Of course, if he lived to be 115 years old - then he may have been virile til at least 80. He was also supposed to be in the Revolutionary War...at 76? How accurate would a newspaperman have been?? Thanks Gaila Benjamin Busby: Found a obit notice for a Benjamin Busby in the Edgefield, SC obit book. Here is what is printed. Issue of October 29, 1815 Died on the 6th inst. in Edgefield District, Benjamin Busby, a native of Maryland, aged 116 years; he resided in this state 70 years, was perfectly healthy unitl a few days before his death.

Joyce, Kathy, Drew In my files I have a Harry Clark Busby b 26 Jun 1876 Indianpolis IN d 26 Mar 1953 Los Angeles CA md/1 Clara A Gilmore md/2 Alice H. Marcellus md/3 Martha M. Harris. Known Children: Harry Gilmore b 1900 CA, Haywood b 1918 CO, Vernon A. b 1922 CO, and Clara Elizabeth b 1924 CA Harry Clark is suppose to be the son of William VanBuren Busby b 1835 Gloucester Co VA. and Louisa Clarke b 1848 MS. There is some debate on William middle name being VanBuren or Vernon. There is also a question of race. William V. died in Texas but was buried in Los Angeles CA. On the cemtery records he is listed a Black. Harry Clark as family oral history goes had disowned his father and never spoke of him. The researcher who passed this own stated that because his father was mixed is the reason he disowned him as he was passing for white. Now how true this is remains to be proven or disproven. You guys might want to contact Steven at Busby777.aol.com. It's been over a year since I have heard from him.

no, I only have the fact he had two half brothers...Bill and Henry living in Laurel, Mississippi.

What is interesting is that my Tempie Busby (not proved)Howard has a grandson called Tillman Howard. We don't know which Busby may have been her father. Gaila William Tillman Busbee is the son of William Busbee b 1827 Orangeburgh Dist SC d 17 Dec 1862 near Richmond VA during CW (Civil War Records) and Jerusha Garvin b 05 Apr 1823 Lexington Co SC d 30 Oct 1909 Wagener Aiken Co SC. He married Florence Ella Holman. Known children William Judson, Lucius Wesley, Olin Dantzler, Marie Tilman, Myrtle Eugenia, Carl Leon. William Rembert, Cyril B., Ted TilmanMargie Frances, Edward Smith, and Jimmy Carl Dantzler are the children of William Judson Busbee. 1900 census shows Jerusha living with Willam Tillman. Jersusha also signed a deed for William Tillman and heirs Book G, pp 346-348 Aiken Co SC known as the W. M. Busbee Plantation.

Joyce do you have Vernon Edwards' fathers name? Maybe William Vernon or Van Buren.

Then comes the speculation, most say Philip was the father of this Miles. Hope this helps.

Hi Carol, I am also looking in the same family and show my ggrandfather, Burrell Busby, son of Miles (Milack) Busby (b. 1780), and brother of Nancy Busby (b. 1833), but I must have missed one. I don't show Stephen Busby, and have only eight children. Is this the same Nancy Ann Busby Bell Lawson you mentioned? My list shows: John (1831), Nancy (1833), Matilda (1835), Denis (1838), Sarah (1841), Burrell (1842), Shelton (1844), and Mary (1848). Is this the same family?

Joyce: The Laurel, MS Busby's are part of my family line descending from Sheppard Busby. There were also some in the Laurel area descending from Jeremiah Busby. Please e-mail your info and I will see if I can locate info for you in my Busby files. Dottie

Kathy, that is the sad part.....we have no idea when he died or where. In 1936 my mother and grandparents went to Leadville,Colorado from Florida to look for work. One day while my grandmother was at work my grandfather took my mother and went to Ouray, Colorado to look for a job. My mother got sick and he left my mother with a doctor in Colorado to find a job and that was the last time she saw him. When he did not return the doctor reported him missing and the law sent my mother home to Holt, Florida to my live with my great-grandmother until my grandmother could get back from Colorado. My mother was 8 years old. Other than posting I have run out of ideas. I only know his birth date and birth place and he had two half brothers, one of the brothers had a daughter with a mental handicap who lived in Laurel, Mississippi. If you have any ideas please let me know. thank you so much for your reply, Joyce

My records indicate JAMES THOMAS SION BUSBY, born 10-3-1883, Jasper, Newton County, Arkansas, died 1971, was son of STEVEN BUSBY & MYMIE MASSEY; grandson of MILAK "MILES" BUSBY & MATILDA BELL. Milak "Miles" Busby was also parent of my great grandmother Nancy Ann Busby Bell Lawson. I show Milak and Matilda had 9 children. The Joe Busby mentioned by Joe Casey was also the son of Steven Busby and Mymie Massey. This Joe married Maggie Elizabeth Cowles, my grandmother's sister. I am double relted to Busby and Cowles family. >From your dad's date of birth of 1922, I assume his name was Grover Sy Busby. My records indicate he married Delphane Horner.
