This message is in reply to the following rootsweb e-mail. I used to live in Missouri City, Texas. When I lived there in the 1960s and "70s Blue Ridge Rd was actually a state road that ran south out onto a cattle ranching and oil field area. There was also a salt mine out there. This area was known as the Blue Ridge. Using GO Express Search, I also found a reference to BLUE RIDGE, TEXAS BLUE RIDGE, TEXAS (Collin County). Blue Ridge is at the intersection of State Highway 78 and Farm Road 981, in northeastern Collin County. The town is on land originally owned by Matthiss Mowry, who received a land grant from the Republic of Texasqv for his service in the Texas Revolution.qv Blue Ridge was established in 1876 {this is an excerpt from the Handbook of Texas, on-line} Hope this helps Paula locate the burial place of her Falls County "David Busby."

I had written to ask if you couldlook up the Busby surname in Falls Co, TX. There was another Busbyfamily in Falls County about the same time and I have not been able tofind a connection. My Busby line would have been a Milton or a David T?Busby. I know that David was in Falls county around 1850. He bought landin the Sarah Pillow Survey(whatever that was), and he was married to aSarah Gray Seeley; she was the widow of Dr. David Seeley when shemarried David Busby. It is said David died around Blue Ridge; I guessthat was some kind of community, but I have never been able to find outanything about when or where he died or where he is buried.Anything you can find on this family would be so very much appreciated!Thanks for your generous help,Paula Dunklin
