Robert Busby (B.1769 NC D.1850 Stewart Co.,TN) left a will naming his wife a Fanny and 12 children, plus one ward--probably a grand daughter. They are: Rachel, Tempy, David, Lucinda, Eliza, Matilda, Mahala, Catherine, Wade, Robert (Jr), Nancy and Arminter. The ward is Jane, assumed Busby. I have marriages for half of the children and for Jane. I am willing to share my data. I believe that this Robert is the man who was in 1st Reg. of Mounted Gunmen (Dyer's) Tennessee Volunteers, and also served in 2nd Reg. of West Tennessee Militia (Col.Lowrey, Lieut. Col. Hammons). Anyone who has info otherwise please let me know. Some researchers believe Robert to be connected with Needham and Nathaniel BUSBY of NC. Much research to be done finding Robert's parents and siblings. Joyce
