Do you remember me? I am the person, Buster descendant, that you spoke with all those years ago about the possible offspring of one Buster and slave Jenny! I have been looking into this research even more seriously in the past few years, and I am having a heck of a time with my fact checking. I know that we got the Buster surname SOMEHOW, and we have a family book that was written by the g-g-grandson of Jim (Jim would be my g-g-g-g grandfather), a slave, whom was apparently told by the master (upon the masters death bed) and he (Jim) was also his son and that is why he had protected him and kept him as a house servant for all those years. I am in the midst of fact checking the book, and the wall I am now up against is finding slave lists of the Busters in KY to see if I can find the names of my ancestors. Another fly in the ointment is that the Buster slaves were also apparently owned by the Waring family ... SO, was my Jim ancestor only a Buster by his mothers name (Je! nny Buster), and was he a decendant of Waring , OR was he a descendant of Colonel Buster? I am thinking outloud here, and jsut throwing this stuff out here. Do you have any suggestions as to where or who I could approach to start finding lists of the slaves that the Buster family held in KY? I know that the Busters also came into KY from Va, and if I remember right, Jim was separated from his mother, and she was left in Va, and he was moved to Monticello KY when the family moved there. Please feel free to pass my name on to those who are interested, because this is a very neat puzzle to piece together, and I think we all can work together to try to figure this out! I will try to stay in touch more than once ever 12 years! I do not get messages from this site, as I am not on here much.
