Hello-- I just joined this list, in hopes that someone will recognize a name. My ancestor is Leah (ca 1738-ca 1790) believed to be born in Rowan Co. She married Robert BARKLEY / BARCLAY sometime before 1754, probably in Rowan Co. Her surname is unknown, but I think it is BUSBY, or some form like BURSBY, BUSLEY, BURSLEY, etc. Does anyone know if one or more families with that surname was living there in these early years? I have previously reviewed a book "Carolina Cradle" by Ramsey, but did not find such a surname in Rowan Co., but then I know that my PENNY & BARKLEY ancestors were there, & they were not listed either. Thank you, Bill Penny MN
