The names they SHOULD be looking for are BUSTER and CECIL. Gen. Joshua BUSTER emancipated Garret BUSTER in 1845 in Monticello, Wayne Co. In 1853 in Monticello, Garret purchased his wife and two children from James Granville CECIL (whose wife was General Buster's daughter, Sarah). In 1862, Garret emancipated his family in Boyle Co, KY. The only question now is, who were "Jim" and "Sarah," Garret's parents. Greene B BUSTER, author of "Brighter Sun" changed all the names of whites in his historical novel, and the dates and places are sometimes quite a ways off. But "Brighter Sun" is still a marvelous book -- the truth is even a better read. Will share info with anyone interested in this line -- not mine, but I'm interested in it.
