Recently I have aquired some new info on Sheppard Busby. It is thought that his father died when Sheppard was very young. As a young boy he worked for a man named BLOUNT in Sumter Co.,AL. It is also thoguht by some descendants that I just met that Sheppard , John F. and William M. Busby were brothers and may have been in Kemper Co.,AL briefly before coming to Sumter Co.,AL. It is also thought that their Busby family may have come from the area of Fredericksburg, VA. Does any of this look or sound familiar to anyone. I have written Liz Chattergee (descendant of John F.) privately regarding our possible relationship but thought others might know something. Dottie
