I have been watching the activity on this mailing for a long time now. Haven't had a lot of time to spend on genealogy, but always read what others are saying in hopes that I will have some luck with my Busby brick wall. Maybe now is the time to ask if others have stumbled on any information on my Stephen Busby since I haven't mentioned him in a long time. My Stephen Busby (listed on 1860 Walker County, AL census as Steven Busbee) was born in SC in about 1796. His was one of the first marriages in Tuscaloosa County, AL to Elizabeth Swindle on 9 Mar. 1823. He and Elizabeth had the following children: John Taylor Busby - b. 25 Nov. 1829 Harriet Elizabeth Busby - b. 30 October 1832 or 1836 in Mississippi Leroy Madison Busby - b. 28 Dec. 1838 Emilie Busby - b. 1839 in Alabama Charlotte Busby - bc 1841 Julia Ann Busby - b. 18 Jan 1849 The names Sampson and Dempsey were given to grandchildren, and I have seen those names scattered in your emails. The fact that one of the children was born in Mississippi makes me think that close kin was probably there. I have a sneaky suspicion that the Nimrod Busby listed on the Oktibbeha County, MS census in 1840 might be a brother but it's only a gut feeling. Does anyone have any info that might help me. These Busby's are the hardest to trace of any of my lines!! Jean Coan

I haven't researched Stephens line a lot but have used it to try and find out our Buzbee lineage. I read and printed out somewhere that William Buzbee sr. was on a 1810 census in S.C. with a couple of sisters who were older and a older brother which the 1796 date closely matches,the 4 other siblings our more known about there younger, Jinsy Buzbee,Jeremiah,Jacob and Joshua. Jinsy and Jeremiah born in S.C. moved to Georgia for a short time? Then to St. Clair co.Al. and both died in Coosa co. near Hissop. Jacob and Joshua moved on to Ark. and there families spread out from there Miss.-Ok.-Tex.-Fla.This is buy memory now but there is a lot on the internet about them.My gut feeling is Stephen is the oldest brother. William Buzbee married Elizabeth Key and lived near Stephen.Stephen moved first and I think William Followed later for better farm lands.Your J.T. and L.M. were in the Ala 28th inf. during the cival war is this right?We had 2 Buzbees also that served in the 28th as we! ll as a Key. We were told when we were down there By a relative to Joe C. Buzbee that all the Busbys/Buzbees/Busbees are related way back.I have been intrigued by the Stephen Busby and William Buzbee connection for some time but we haven't found anything to tie them together yet.When and where did Stephen marry Betsy Swindle? William Married Elizabeth Key in 1821 in St. Clair co. I think the Swindles, Keys and Busbys traveled together. Williams father Jacob was in the Rev. war. and from Newberry and Abbville co. S.C. and born in the Orangeburg district ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2004 11:05 AM Subject: [Busbee Busby] Stephen Busby - AL I have been watching the activity on this mailing for a long time now.
