Vashenan Listmates, Sometimes these Bushongs, all with the same names, make me a little crazy. I need to correct one statement below. It should read: 1832 - Agreement between John Bushong and BROTHER-IN-LAW John Brown. AND No, we don't believe that this John Brown is the one they hung around the Civil War! Also this was the time frame that this John Bushong married for a second time to widow Catharine (Ruffner )Clem who lived in Page County for awhile.
