Gaila, One of my ancestors, Jeremiah Busby, b. 1795, SC, son of Zachariah Busby, b. 1768, SC, relocated to Twiggs County, GA around 1815 and stayed a few years before moving on to MS. I note that Twiggs County, GA is adjacent to Houston County and catercorner to Bibb County, where several SC Busbys settled. This makes me almost sure that Jeremiah was related to those Busbys. Did not your William Reece Busby settle in that area? Howard

Howard, Yes Jeremiah was in Twiggs and Bibb which share a border and Busbyville in Houston County Georgia is very close to Bibb and Crawford Counties and you will find many Busbys in that Central Georgia area circa 1821 and the decade following, when it opened up. We are sure many made the move so quickly because they were in Twiggs County, Georgia. Nathan Busby, son of Jeremiah, was in the area, as well as Jacob, Denis G, Seaborn, Elisha, Frederick, William H & Sampson. Also in Busbyville, were Daniel, and Matthew. In Bibb County, there was Reese, Allen and James.
