He was a Revoluntionary War soldier. At some point, he was supposedly also in TN before finally going on to KY. In his last days, he was thought to be in both Morgan and Macoupin Co, IL living with a Lewis Harmon. He was said to have a brother named James. Trying to connect him to my ggg gfather, Matthew Busby, born ca 1780, unknown co of VA. Matthew married Saluda Tinsley in Amherst Co VA in 1804 and was in Adair Co KY by 1816. I do not know the names of Matthew's parents or siblings but Robert could be an uncle or even his father. I believe some of Matthew's brothers/sisters may have gone to TN, KY, MO and some may have gone to or been connected to the Busby line from the Carolinas. I know some of the Southeast Busbys were in NC/SC, AL & GA and some went on into central TX....Limestone, Freestone, Falls and Robertson counties of Tx. About 1850 some of my KY & MO Busbys left their homes and came to the same central TX counties. I'm betting that these two lines are connected somewhere on the Busby family tree. Hope someone can help. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
