The names I have for the parents of Johann Heinrich (John Henry) Busch, came from the IGI database years ago. They have Peter Heinrich Busch and Catherine Ilsabein Hebrocks. That database listed several other sons: Jobst Heinrich, Casper Heinrich, and Hermann Heinrich. In addition, there were TWO entries for a child named Johann Heinrich Iwith FAR different years of birth for each) so I wonder about their information. There is one unnamed child listed, a daughter named Wilhelmina Louise. The birth years of the named kids range from 1813 to 1824. In the 1880 census John Henry Busch lists his parents birthplaces: father was born in Prussia, mother was born in Lippe (an independent principality not far from Herford, Prussia.) In the summer I was able to get back into some research on this family. I did find additional info on Charles Busch--not at my fingertips right now. But apparently he was living in Henderson County, Illinois for a while as a married man. He did sell out and move away--and we "know" from some records that he ended up in the St. Louis area. I would not be at all surprised if we eventually learn of a connection between these Busch family members. Thanks for posting.
