>Hi Howard, > Balaam Jacob Buzbee was married 27 Jul 1848 Jacksonville, Morgan Co. >IL. Balaam was my Great grandfather. He was a Vet of the Civil War, >Union side. I have his pension papers. His wife Catherine Bromley was the >dau of Samuel and Sarah Potter Bromley. >The parents remained there in Morgan Co. IL.. I don't understand how his >marriage date could be listed in KS. The family however did settle in >Jefferson Co. KS. Balaam J. died >27 Nov 1872 Ozawkie, Jefferson Co. KS.. Catherine Bromley's family can >be found in The Bromley Genealogy by Viola Bromley, 1911. Could there be two Balaam's, one with Busby surname and one with Buzbee? The question being, was Samuel Busby, son of John and Mary in Chipping Norton, Balaam's father? I have an interest in this question also because I am descended from Mark Busby, Samuel's brother. Lonna Granbury, TX
