W. BUSBY white male age 32 b AL, farmer, father b AL mother b TN L. H. BUSBY white female,wife, 32 b AR housekeeping, father b VA, mother b VA ARKIE BUSBY dau, white female, age 9 b AR, father b AL, mother b AL M. L. BUSBY dau, white female, age 4 b AR, father b AL, mother b AR I have been searching for anything on Arkie Busby for 25 years and this is the closest I've come to proving she was a real person. I can only assume that since Arkie's mother was b AL that L H Busby is her step mother. Does anyone have a MW Busby in their line? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
