Gaila, The Nathan who was a son of Jeremiah, was born in 1817, according to census of 1850 in MS, so I am wondering if that Nathan you mentioned was another Nathan. Were there two different Jeremiahs in GA at that time? Prior to 1820, Jeremiah and Phebe (Miles) Busby had two sons, named Miles and Nathan, both born in GA. They settled in MS sometime between 1820 and 1830. Nathan was there with them on the 1830 MS census. He could have hardly been of majority age to buy and sell land in GA. Then again, why would two different Jeremiahs name sons Nathan unless they were closely related, like cousins? Hardly coincidence. Here I go scratching my head and puzzling evermore about those devious Busbys. Howard
