On the 1850 St. Tammany Parish, LA Federal; Census Page 295 there is a J. H. Buzby, Age 36, Carpenter, born in VA, and wife Mary A. Age 36, born in Switzerland with the following children: J. H. Buzby, Age 4, born in Florida, Zacariah, Age 2, born in LA. and Jospeh, Age 1, born in LA. A funeral home record for another son, Thomas Jefferson Busbey, indicates that his parents were J. H. Busbey, born in W. VA, and Mary A. Miller, born in Switzerland. On the 1840 Walton County, Florida Census there is a Zachariah T, Busby with one Male between 5 an 10, one between 30 and 40 and one female betwen 40 and 50. Also, I found on the 1850 LEON COUNTY Census an Aurelia N. Miller and a Joseph Miller both born in Switzerland. I have an obituary July 31, 1898. for Aurelia Miller, which states she was an aunt of J. H. Busby, of the Call Publishing Company, and moved from this city in 1858. I have no idea to which city, nor where the Call Publishing Company was located. I do know that the elder J. H. (John H. Busbey) died in Caddo Parish, LA, as well Mary Anna Miller Busbey. Another son Joseph Leon Busbey, owned a brick yard in Shreveport, Caddo, Parish, LA. I wonder what the migration pattern of the Busbeys and Millers were from VA or WVA and Switzerland to Florida and Louisiana was, and if there is a connection to the Walton County Busby, Busbey. Buzbee, etc Also, if the Zacharia on the Fort Walton County Census could be a brother to the J. H. on the St. Tammany Parish Census.? > 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.
