My dad is John (Jack) O'Dillon Buster & his dad was Joseph O'Dillon Buster, son of Thomas E. Jr. & Kathryn E. Buster (No maiden name) & their other children were Margaret, C. James, Thomas, Anna A., Patrick, John & Sarah & Eugene. My gr-gr-grandfather was Thomas Buster & wife, Ellen. They arrived on the Algeria, through NY from Queensland, Ireland. They settled in Jim Thorpe, PA, known back then as Hauto/Mauch Chunk, PA. Then moved to Allentown, PA around 1910-1920. That's all I found out. My grandfather, Joseph, only had 2 children, my dad & 1 sister, Jean, then he divorced & ran to Reno, Nevada where he died. I think my dad only saw his dad 1 or 2 times as an adult. My grandmother then married into the Devers family & had 5 more children & not a one of them will ever speak about Joseph. I am going to go to Jim Thorpe one day & look up the local records there. My dad always said that his grandfather was one of the Molly McGuires. I'll have to let you know how that turns out. Well, I'll stop here for now, but if you'd like to contact me directly my e-mail address is [email protected], just write something in the Subject space so I know it's you. I'd like to hear about your branch of the family sometime. Have a nice day. Joanne Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
