Hello Barbara, I had never run across a Phillip Busbee in Crawford County. You have to wonder if Phillip was married to a Sloan and how he connected to other Busbees in the area. I know there were a few others Busbys I have not placed in Houston County. I will search my records and see if I find a marriage for Phillip. Regards, Gaila > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SEH.2ACIB/1175 > > Message Board Post: > > Need info. on Phillip Busbee of Houston County, Ga., deceased 1859. Joseph A. Sloan was named adm. with Elizabeth Sloan as security. Joseph A. Sloan died without fulfilling his duties and William E. Sloan was named adm. A family of Sloans and Busbees lived in close proximity to each other in Crawford County, Ga. 1840s, 1850s and 1860. In fact, Elizabeth Sloan raised an orphan child named Elizabeth Busbee and left everything to this child in her will (Crawford County 1865). Does anyone know of a family connection and who was Phillip Busbee. I have done extensive research on the Busbees in search for parents of Seaborn Busbee b. 1826 in Ga. Have never run across a Phillip Busbee in Houston, Crawford, Bibb, or Peach until I found this in Houston County records the other day. Any info. appreciated. > > Barbara >
