    3. Still looking for someone who can connect with the Robert Busby that was a soldier in the Rev War for the VA line. Born ca 1759. Need to learn identity of his parents, wife, and any children. From Military Records for Robert or Robart Busby:       "S30904, Cont & VA Line, appl 7 Jan 1833 Adair Cty KY, sol had enl in Goochland or Hanover Cty VA, sol b in Jul 1759 in Hanover Cty VA; in 1839 sol was a res of Morgan Cty IL; a bro of sol, James Busby, mentioned."  Trying to connect Robert Busby to Mathew Busby who was also living in Adair Co KY in 1833. Matthew could prove to be the son or nephew of  Robert Busby who lived in Adair Co and was on the 1820 Adair Co census.  A Robert Busby was in Adair County April 2, 1834  drawing an $80 pension for his service to VA during the Rev. War. He was 75. According to the Bureau of Pensions Records, his birth date was July 1759 and he was born in Hanover Co Va. The record states that in 1839 he was in Morgan Co Illinois & there is mention of a brother named James. He's not found in Morgan Co in 1839 but is found in Macoupin Co IL in the home of a Lewis Harmon.  Robert is believed to have had a daughter, Mary W. P. Busby who married a Lewis Harmon in Adair Co 6-21-1826, according to Adair Co KY marriage records. Surely, someone is researching this Busby line. HELP! Paula
