Jim & Gaila, Sorry about the tardy response, BUT I've just had the pleasure or recovering from the latest strain of the FLU. As I stated in my original response I only have information regarding Elisha and Elizabeth GUNTER BUSBEE. Their children: 1. Frederick (my line) 2. daughter 3. William H. These folk all migrated from the Lexington/Orangeburgh Dist. of SC in the mid to late 1820"s. They went to Crawford Co. GA where they resided for awhile. I too noticed that one William Reese BUSBEE resided near these folk. I have also wondered about the relationship. Seems they have been close to one another all the back to SC. After they got bored of GA the moved on to Coffee Co. AL and again resided there for awhile, finally ending up in Walloon Co. FL. I have been trying to link up my Elite with Benjamin and Ferryby (Ferraby) BUSBEE of SC. Something tells me they are related but just can't seem to make it work. If anyone out there would like to have more information regarding Elisha and Elizabeth GUNTER BUSBEE and their decendants or who would be willing to help me with their ancestors, please contact me. Thanks, and sorry I couldn't make your connection, Julius Jim & Gaila wrote: > > Hi > Happy New Year, please send your answers to the list.
