Surnames: McDonald Busby Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Ea.2ADI/674.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hello The Middleton McDonald I was speaking about is the Middleton who married Mary Busby. I don't seem to have his birth/death dates nor their children. I am connected through the Busby family only. Polly is a nickname for Mary. I believe this is the family you see in the 1850 census. The children below could be named for James - Mary's father and Middleton - his father. William is definitely a Busby name and if the Middleton (6 months Old baby) mentioned here is William Middleton, he could be named after two Busbys, James father and son: William Reese BusbySr and Jr Good luck in your search Wish I had more information. Other counties to search: Houston County, Crawford County and also Dooley Co, GA would be worth checking as other family members had property in these counties.
