My great- grandfather is Jacob Bushart Jr.. My great-great grandfather is Jacob Sr. a son of John Bushart. I completed a survey of Busharts in the Civil War and to my knowledge and understanding, the great-great grandsons of John were in the Civil War. Legend has it that four Bushart brothers immigrated from Germany, John went to Kentucky and Tennessee and the other three went to states of the north. Consequently, the great -great grandsons of the four brothers opposed each other in the Civil War. Three were killed in action from the North and two were killed in action from the South.
