Gaila, You wrote: "Are there any Busbys on the list that are descended from Thomas-Jeremiah-Nathan Busby we discussed earlier, who is in contact with a Busby male from this branch -someone who might lend us dna? What about the Nathan of Falls County Texas line?" I am descended from the Nathan Busby of Falls County, Texas. This Nathan was the son of Jacob and grandson of Jeremiah both can be found in the Ouachita County Arkansas 1850 census. Falls County History Book shows Nathan married to Margaret Drusher.   Everything I have found on him shows that he first married Margaret Queen, in Arkansas and migrated to Texas.  They had two sons, Benjamin Franklin (Bird) and George Washington.  She died shortly after the birth of GW.  Nathan then married Margaret Brazier they had several children, the youngest two twins.  This Margaret died of consumption in 1870 or 1871.  Nathan then married Rubicka Jane Gray, they had one son Robert Almarine (Almore) Busby, my great grandfather.  He married Ellen Elijah Ann Rayford.  Their children were:   1.  Olga Buna Busby born Oct. 1892 died May 1982, married John Waldon Porch .        A.  Minnie May Porch, b. 1908, d. 1979, m.

All of the above children were adopted by Daniel Pelton after the death of their natural father.                   2.  William Elijah Busby (no male children)   3.  Aubrey Rayford Busby (no children)   4.  Clarence Almarine Busby (died a toddler) Who was Thomas Busby?  Is he the great grandfather of my Nathan? To further complicate things, my Jeremiah also had a son named Nathan who had a son named Nathan.  The first is the Nathan you mentioned earlier as having settled in Twiggs and Houston County, Georgia.  Do you have any further information on this branch of Busbys?  Appreciate all your hard work trying to unravel this elusive and travelling bunch of ancestors.
