This is what I know: Married Martha Elizabeth Hancock, 1857, Pontotoc, MS, bond signed by Robert Busby; in Sevier County, AR in 1860 with wife and 2 sons stating he was born in AL in 1820; served in the Civil War; can find no records after Civil War; his grandson, my father, said he came to the United States during the potato famine in 1840s or 1850 from Ireland which contradicts the birth in AL in 1820. Does anyone have any information on this family? Also, my father said his Dad had 2 cousins named Johnny and Robert who he believed lived in Brownfield, TX which would mean that John M L Busby had at least one brother if this is true. Four of his sons(Allen, Elisha, James and George) lived to have families and I know where most of their offspring scattered.
