>Dear Lonna, >The only Busbys in Nebraska, that I have tracked down are Abraham Marion >Busby, James N. Busby and Lavina Busby. Any info on any of them would be >appreciated! Thanks! Sorry I don't have these specific Busby's listed, however that doesn't mean they aren't connected in some way. Although my Busby's emigrated from England in 1853, there could have been relatives from the same branch who came to America earlier. After tracing farther back we could find a connection. Here is the info I have on my Busby branch: My BUSBY branch in the USA came from Thomas BUSBY b. 1828 in Stow, Huntingdonshire, England. His wife was Mary KNIGHT b. 1837 in Newton, Huntingdonshire. There were married in 1853 and emigrated to America that same year, along with Thomas's brother, Jonathan BUSBY. They ended up buying land and farming near Arcadia, Wisconsin, and their son, Thomas, my grandfather, bought land and farmed near Wakefield, Nebraska. I recently found out through searching IGI records online that Thomas's parents were Mark BUSBY and Sophia MERRY, married 1817 at Great Tew, Oxford, England. Through the IGI I also found out my BUSBY's were Baptist. Mark and Sophia's children's births were registered at Baptist, Spaldwick, Huntingdon, Eng. The children's names were: Eliza b 1821 Miriam b 1824 Mark b 1826 Thomas b 1828 Jonathan b 1831 William b 1836 John b 1837 In another IGI batch record I found their father, Mark BUSBY listed as a child of John BUSBY and Mary HUCKVALE, whose births were registered at Particular Baptist, Chipping Norton, Oxford England. These children were: William b. 1767 John b. 1769 Samuel b. 1771 Richard b. 1773 Mark b. 1776 Jonathan b. 1778 Mary b. 1782 Thomas b. 1784 If you think you are related to any of these BUSBY's please let me know. I have the batch record numbers and census information on some of them from 1841 and 1851 in England.
