I am not related! I personally own many published genealogy books from the area...please ask if I can look up a piece of information for you!! In the 1870 Cape Girardeau Federal Census, page 126, listed is: Liberty Township BUSSY Grandison 45 M KY Lucy 37 F MO Emma 2 F MO Checking the Cape Girardeau marriage index I found: Grandison M. BUSSY - Lucy J. Austin married in Cape County on 22 Nov 1866 Cape Girardeau Federal Census, page 132, Liberty; Township: LUSTER James 36 M KY Sara C. 27 M MO Josiah L. 7/12 M MO above this is: Louisa Luster 29 F MO The Cape Girardeau marriage records lists: Josiah LESTER - Sarah Warrello 13 July 1858 Berry A. Lester - Nancy J. James 15 Oct 1858 James F. Lester - Mary A. E. O. 1 Dec 1869 Josiah S. Lester - Louisa Gladish 3 March 1861 Calvin J. Lester - Nancy E. Burns 4 April 1864 James F. Luster - Sarah J. Gladish 27 July 1864 James Lester - Sarah C. Austin 1 Dec 1868 I hope this information is not confusing.
