Hi, My ancestor is Isaac Busby of Bath Co., KY he was b. May of 1796. he married Lucy England. They had a son Alfred S. Busby who married Elizabeth Webb ( I believe Eliz. may have been her middle name) Could some one please clarify if I am reading this article correctly Matthew's son James was the father of Isaac? I would love to hear from any other folk researching this family. I have found some of these people in the census in Bath Co. Does any one know where in Ireland Matthew came from or when? Thanks in advance for your help. Nancy Hagen mchagen@mn.uswest.net BonnieGaia@aol.com wrote: > from A History of the Pioneer Familes of Missouri by Wm. S.
