I have traced my Busby's back to Oxford England, particularly an area called Chipping Norton and Over Norton. They were Baptists. My gr gr gr gr grandfather was John BUSBY b. 1743 in Over Norton, Oxford. He married Mary HUCKVALE in 1766. Their children were: > 1)William b 1767 Priory Farm, Over Norton Oxon ENG > 2)John b 17 Sep 1769 Priory Farm Over Norton Oxon ENG > 3)Samuel b 27 Nov 1771 Over Norton Oxon ENG > 4)Richard b 29 Nov 1773 Over Norton Oxon ENG d 10 Nov 1836 > 5)Mark b 31 Jul 1776 Over Norton Oxon ENG > 6)Jonathan b 31 Oct 1778 Over Norton Oxon ENG > 7)Mary b 8 Mar 1782 Dunthrop Heythrop Oxon ENG > 8)Thomas b 5 Jul 1784 Dunthrop Heythrop Oxon ENG I am descended from Mark, above, but I'm told that Samuel went to the United States, married either before or after he went and raised his family there. I don't know what part of the country, but if any of you are descended from Samuel BUSBY, this is his family in England and we are related. Please let me know if you have Samuel in your family line. If anyone is interested in this family above, the IGI Batch number is C092431. Mark BUSBY's children with his wife, Sophia MERRY are in Batch number C065811. Mark's family lived in Spaldwick, Huntington (actually Stow).
