Help with this BUSBY in Wayne Co., MS in the 1880 census PLEASE!!! I have a Jerry Busby (Son of Jeremiah and Mary Cooley) age 24 married to Elizabeth age 23 in Washington Co., AL in 1880 with a 2 year old son Willie. This 'find' in Wayne County troubles me to find who this family is. In the 1880 census, Wayne Co., MS, ED 130, Sheet 39, Line 28-30 J Busby W, M, 25, [Head] b. in MS, father in AL, mother in GA E Busby W, F, 22, [Wife] b. in MS, father in AL, mother in GA S. J. Busby W, M, 2, [Son] b. in MS The Js could be something else but not a G. I voted for a J in both lines. Thanks for any help. .... Ray Dear Ray.....and the Busby List, I know there are a lot of Busbys in America now, descended from those in Britain. We seem to have some in Ohio, MA, MS, WI and NE, to name a few. To see if any of ours are related, I think what we all should do is try to share GedComs. This way we can see how far back each of us has been able to trace our Busby line. To any of you who would like to see my Busby GedCom, please write to me off the list at lonna@granbury.com, and I'll be happy to send you my Busby GedCom. Mine came from England in 1853 and settled in WI and NE, but there could have been family already over here from siblings in the line. My gr grandfather brought his brother Jonathan over here also, and some of his kids could have moved from WI to other areas. Let's try to get email addresses together of us all so we can share information with the goal of finding a common link. :)) Lonna
