Hello Shelia As promised I have been reviewing some letters I received back in 1994 when I first had contact with a gentleman called Michael Busby. Michael was searching for his Irish connection and he put the following information in a letter. Quote, "The distant relative (who is related to my family) received information from another relative who travelled to Ireland quite some time ago. They give the father of Andrew Montgomery Busby Sr. as a William Busby, born about 1779 in Ballyutoage, Antrim, Ireland. They received the information from the public records office in Belfast. They say Andrew was born July 1801 in Ballyutoag and christened 25 Aug 1805 at Old Presbyterian Church, Templepatrick, Antrim. His mother (wife of William) was born 1783 in Ballyutoag. He had two sisters (Isabella born in Mallusk and Agnes Elizabeth also born in Mallusk). This Ballyutoag place is different than the name Ballyvassesy which I have in my records. This confuses me and I do not know which is correct or if this is the correct family." The place names all fall within the greater Carnmoney/Templepatrick area. You may know of this gentleman his wife is called Maria. At the time of writing (1994) Michael Busby was a United States Customs Officer. I hope this helps.
