    1. Barbie, regarding James Busby
    2. Barbie: I talked to my father this evening and he gave me a little more information, but not much. James Busby, son of Elias Busby and Elizabeth (or Louise) Bone, was killed at Vicksburg. He had a son, James Busby Jr. who moved to Texas as a young man. According to my father, a man by the name of Cason disemboweled William Albert Busby (he lived) and his first cousin, James Jr., killed Cason. That's when James Jr. moved to Texas. My father recalls that one of James, Jr. female decendants lives or lived in Richardson TX because a relative here in Georgia kept in touch with her. According to my father, we are also related to some Busby's in Anderson, SC. At least one brother of Elias Busby settled there. Regarding Elias (not sure of spelling of Elias) Busby: There were nine boys in his family (siblings). They sailed from Glas. Scotland in 1839. They came through Charleston, S.C. He and his wife had 2 boys and three girls. He is buried in Paulding Co. GA. Regarding William Wesley Busby: He was my great-great grandfather. He had a brother, James (killed at Vicksburg) whose son, James, Jr. moved to Texas sometime around or before 1900. William Wesley also had three sisters, one married a Ragsdale, one a Parsons and one married a Clay. (My fathers recalls something about the sister who married the Clay having a son who became a U.S. Congressman - I haven't had a chance to verify this) W.W. was born in England. When he was 10 years old (1939), he sailed from Glascow, Scotland to Charleston, S.C. Injured in Civil War at Battle of Resaca, Georgia in 1864.. Lived in Milner Ga. for two years before moving to Marthasville (Atlanta). He was a preacher. 1st Lt. Co. F 40 Regt. Ga Inf.
