Howard, I saw you post and thought I might be of help. There was a BUZBIEVILLE (or BUZBEEVILLE) listed on the 1860 Coffee Co, AL census (film # 0,803,005) page 873. This is where my relatives migrated from on their way to Walton CO., FL. Originally from SC. I also saw the BUSBY name on an old map of SC but let it get away from me. I thought I had it saved on disk but just can't seem to fine it, I found it originally on the internet. Thanks for your interesting posting of your trip to GB. Thanks, Julius BUSBEE HBusby@aol.com wrote: > > In a message dated 12/19/99 7:45:30 AM Eastern Standard Time, > MBusby3237@aol.com writes: > > << heir is a township of Great Busby in the parish of Stokesley, N.
