Howard, Have you found any trace or proof of this link? "That would be John Zachariah Busby, b, 1797, SC, son of Zachariah Busby, b. 1768, SC. Correct ?" I also descend from "John" Zachariah Busby, b.1797, and if you have any more information I would appreciate you forwarding this to me. Jabe Fincher has also made this "connection" but I have not heard from him on his proof and just assume it is a supposition. It would great if it was true and could be proven. Thanks in advance, Michael Lee Busby Ohatchee, AL
