    3. I'm still stalled in my search for this family line and it's beginning to wear me down. Does anyone know anything about the following families? John Busby and wife, Margaret unkn from around Hampshire Co, W.VA/VA in mid to late 1700's. Son, Matthew Busby, birth date unknown, married Saluda Tinsley in 1803, Amherst Co, Va. and migrated in early 1800's to Adair Co, KY. Saluda Tinsley was the d/o David Tinsley and Nancy McDaniel of Amherst Co, VA . Children of Matthew & Saluda: Milton Busby, b. abt. 1804 in VA, d. abt. 1860 in Cotton Gin, Freestone Co, TX. David T. (for Tinsley?) Busby, b. abt. 1807, d. 1854 in Blue Ridge, Falls Co, TX. David may have married a Martha Sweeney, b. 1814, d. 1849, Bolling Green, Warren Co, Ky. Pauline Busby, b. abt. 1812, married Spottsford D. Tucker. Nancy T. (for Tinsley?) Busby, b. abt. 1815 in Ky, married William J. Drake in KY. Edward Busby, b. abt. 1817 in KY. Never married; supposedly "deaf/dumb" per census. Rebecca Matilda Busby, b. abt. 1818-1820 in Adair Co, KY. Married Martin W. Banks of Adair Co in 1841, Adair Co. Most of these children supposedly came to Freestone/Limestone/Falls Co, TX in the mid 1800's. Area town per county would be Teague, Mexia, and Marlin, TX Surely there is at least one person researching this family, somewhere. One problem seems to be that there may have been 2 or possibly 3 Matthew Busbys in Ky and they don't appear to be related to each other. All help greatly appreciated.
