HI Barbara, After further research, it is Perry Green Busby I mentioned, but the son of James Busby and Elizabeth and the older brother of the George Washington Busbee you mention. GW's son is obviously named for his uncle. Wayne Busbice has most of the children of Allen Busby from memory. I don't think Allen's wife was Indian. She was Sarah Sangster married in 1846. In 1836, two Sangster men were in the Houston County Cavalry Seminole War Volunteers. Mary Sangster married Allen A Howard- I am also descended from the Howard family and never heard that the Sangster girls were Indian. I do have a photo of her son on the Houston County page and he doesn't look Indian either. There were other Busbys I haven't located information on who lived in early Busbyville, including Jacob, Daniel and Matthew Busby. Nathan Busby we seem to have information on. The other three are also said to have lived in Busbyville. We did hear that we had Indian in our family but it was generic and not really pointed at any one family. Still haven't found it. I would be interested in the record you found for Phillip. I might see if I see him in SC records.

P. G. Busbee I believe is Perry G. Busbee, the son or maybe grandson of George Washington Busbee who married Mirium Tucker. By the way, my husband's ggrandfather was named George Washington Busbee also, the son on Seaborn Busbee. A little tidbit I found out from my sister-in-law the other day: She says that her grandfather, Ollie Edward Busbee (son of George Washington Busbee) always told them that he and the Heards of Bibb County were cousins, in particular Milton Heard and Dr. John Heard. (All in the Rutland District, I believe). Taking that little bit of info seriously, I began to track back to see how Ollie and the Heards would be cousins I found that if my Seaborn b. 1826 happened to be the unnamed son (on the 1830 and 1840 census) of Allen Busbee of Houston County, then Seaborn and Elizabeth Busbee the daughter of James Busbee who married Jacob Foreman Heard in 1836, would be first cousins--their fathers being brothers. Seaborn paid a poll tax in 1! > 848 in Houston County and married there in 1847. Allen paid a poll tax in 1848 as well as Mary Busbee. I'm thinking now that Seaborn might be Allen's son. > And one more thing I want to share with you. I came in contact with an older cousin of my husband's, Clement Busbee. Clement is also the gggrandso n of Seaborn Busbee b. 1826. I asked him particularly about indian blood in the Busbee line and if he had ever heard this. He said he certainly had heard of this all of his life and particularly remembers when he was a child listening to the older Busbees talk about when the first Busbees arrived in Ga. they found friendly indians who help them and vice-virsa and that several of the Busbee men even took indian wives. He remembered no names in particular. I wonder if Allen might have taken an indian wife and his first three children who are unnamed were her children. > I have an old picture of an old man I will try to get on the internet for I.D.

Gaila, Is Busbyville in GA? What time frame are you looking at? I just happened to see your message to Barbara and thought I'd ask. I'm also looking for information on a Matthew Busby. He's probably not the same as you mention but would love to see what you have on him. ANYTHING on him would be greatly appreciated, especially parents, time frame and locations, if you have them.
