Paula, I am a descendent of a Busby in Morrow County, OH. I have read quite a bit about the George Busby in Marion, Ohio. (Which is where I lived from the seventh grade on--until I left for the US Air Force. But my family and my wife's families remain there.) I do not have the info at hand--and little time right now to sort it out. However, if I recall, George was into politics. If you research him on Ancestry.com---in the "Public Family Trees" I think you will find more information on him. In fact, I just peeked in the Marion Co History (Jacoby). George H Busby (Dem) was in the US Congress for at least the 1851-53 session.. The history's index has about 18 pages listed, where his name appears. This History may well be online somewhere. Several histories from this area were on Al Pott's 'HeritagePursuit.com' web site. Which was free--but last I checked, he is asking for subscriptions. I'll send more when I get a chance. But, pursue the family trees and the Marion OH county histories.

Try googling for: History of Marion County, Ohio by Jacoby. If you can't find it, look for the same title with 1883. They both had a lot of the same information.
