    1. Re: [OHPORTAG-L] QExpress for Portage Co., Ohio ( PHIPPS BOOSINGER )
    2. Hi Deronda: I have a copy of the will of Conrad Busfinger of Talmage in the County of Portage dated 1826 and probated in February 1828. He lists wife Cathrine, sons George, Jacob, John and Conrad (this name is not very readable). He also lists his daughters: Barbara Price, Tilly Lap, Susan Sap, Cathrine Fosher, Polly Bupard?, Effy Ward, Tenny Hains, Sally Ettinger and Rachel Sacks. John settled in Brimfield and married Barbara Williard. His son John II is the forebearer of Marilyn Boosinger. I believe Marilyn's dad was Ralph, and her grandfather was Elis. His father was Edward C, son of John II and his second wife. John and Barbara also had a son George. As to Conrad's other sons - Jacob, George and Conrad - they must have settled in Summit Co, or other places. In the Portage County History there are references to conrad and his sons John and George. I am not researching Boosingers, but Ettinger/Eatingers. That is why I have a copy of the will. The Boosingers used to have family reunions at the Brimfield Shelter the first Sunday in August, the last I heard was in 1989. Jackie W.
