Following are a couple of items I have in file that may be of interest on this subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted by Bridget Coffman <[email protected]> on Mon, 05 Jul 1999, in response to BUSH, posted by Joyce Trammell on Sun, 04 Jul 1999 Surname: Bush, Keen, Sutton, Scoggins, Jones, Pridgen, Moseley, Pope, Cooper Hi. I saw your note concerning Mary J. Jones, Sarah E. Jones and Henry T. Jones, the children of William F. & Mary J. Bush Jones. I have a lot of information on Mary J. Bush. Most of it comes from a Cooper-Pope Genealogy, and some other Bush information I've collected. There is too much to write it all here, but here is what I can quickly give you: "Mary Jane (Polly) Bush, daughter of William and Elizabeth Pope Bush, Family record of William F. Jones and family was copied from the family Bible about the year 1865. Certified Copy is on file with the N.S.D.A.R., Washington, DC. William F. Jones was born Feb. 8, 1807 Mary J. Bush was born May 8, 1818 William F. Jones and Mary J. Bush were married Aug. 10, 1837" The above was from the Cooper-Pope Genealogy They also list William F. and Mary J. Bush Jones's children and death dates. Mary J. Bush Jones had a brother William Bush, who was my ggggrandfather. They're parents were William Bush and Elizabeth Pope. Elizabeth Pope's parents were John Pope and Elizabeth Cooper. I have the Bush's, Pope's, and Coopers back much farther (they were very early immigrants to America), but if you can, please write me so we can talk about this further."
