I have a Bush family in NC. My gggrandfather was
William James Carr Bush Who was the Son of John Bush. WJC Bush
married Amelia Ann Boswell known as Emily And her tombstone says
Milly. I don't have dates right now but they had 8 to 10 children
most born around the 1850's. A lot of these children eventually
went to various places in Georgia. If anyone has heard of this
family I"ll look for the dates I have and see if we can
benefit each other.

Wonderful site. My father has been doing some searches
and I am continuing on. Would like to find details and ancestors
of GEORGE BUSH b 1776 (?) VA was married to ELIZABETH SMITH b
1785 VA. These folks moved on to Licking Co Ohio where they were
farmers for several generations. I did not seemed to find any
links on your site, wondered if you could provide any information

I am out of the Thomas Bush line. I show my Thomas Bush was born abt. 1620. I do not know if that is the Thomas that you list as being born in 1656. Thomas had a son, William, born abt. 1645 in Isle of Wight Co., VA. William married Martha Corlee. William and Martha's children were: William who went to KY; Rose md George Wynns; Martha md unknown Corlee; Elander md a McLendon; Elizabeth md a McLendon; and John md. Mary Bryan (I am out of John's Line). All this Info comes from a book called OUR KIN.

My Joseph Boyer Reynolds was born in Stephensburg, KY
in 1806, the son of Nathaniel Reynolds (born in King William
County, VA in 1762) and Ann Boyer Reynolds. In 1829 Joseph, who
was a farmer and country doctor, married Phoebe (or Phebe) Bush
in Kentucky. They were in Illinois by 1840. I think they claimed
War of 1812 bounty land in Illinois, possibly for Joseph's father
or brother. Their daughter Melinda was my g-grandmother. Their
son Charles Alexander Reynolds was the famous Western scout,
Lonesome Charley Reynolds, who died with Custer at Little Big
Horn. Much history has been attempted (and written) about the
Reynolds family because of Charley, and I am currently
corresponding with a historian who is writing a book on Charley
and has done a great deal of background work on the Reynolds
family.
Phoebe Bush Reynolds died in 1845, and Joseph returned to
Kentucky and married a woman named Lydia, and moved back to
Illinois. About 1857, Joseph moved to Kansas and was active in
the anti-slavery movement there. The Reynolds family had helped
establish Christian churches and a Christian college in Illinois
(the college was named Abingdon and Melinda and Charley attended,
but the college later merged with Eureka College; I also have
seen the name Abingdon in Bush family records and wonder if there
is a connection).
I have never been able to find the names of Phoebe's parents.
Also, what is the connection between your Bush family and Sarah
Bush Lincoln, Abe's step-mother? She was from Kentucky about the
same time as Phoebe, so I have often wondered of Sarah's
connection to other Bushes.

This is the way my direct line goes:
Thomas Bush (1618)- ?
William "Old" BUSH (1645-1716-Eng. and Chowan,
NC.)-Martha Hill
John Bush (1685-1728-Eng and NC)-Mary Bryan(1695-SC)
Hardy Bush (1729 Ger.-1758 Craven, NC)-Catherine FRANK (1729-1788
NC)
John Council Bush,Sr. (1752-1805 Wilkes, GA)-Susanna Bryan
(1763-1820)
John Council Bush, Jr. (1781)- Eady Tyson
Moses Eason Bush,Sr. (1797-1847-GA and AL)-Julia Ann Calhoun
(1794-1833)
Julia Ann Bush-(1829-1859)-Harrell Flowers (1824-1905-GA-AL)
Coach Cal Campbell
My records show that William R Bush was the son of John Council Bush, Jr and the brother of Moses Eason Bush. Zachariah Bush was also a brother. John council Bush, Sr had a son named William Bush. Maybe he was the one who was the son-in-law of William Williams. William Williams was the Lighthouse Keeper on St. George Island at Appalachacola. He built the first cotton gin in Barbour County. it states that there were 4 Williams brothers: Mark williams, William Williams, Charley williams, and Bartley C Williams. Bartley was the first postmaster of Williamston at the Ryan Cross Roads. William Williams married Arrency Bush, the daughter of Zachariah Bush and Polly Dennis. One mistake that the book mentions is that the Bush boys were from Charleston SC. That is of course not true and is documented from many other sources. Again, I refer your friends to the book by Elizabeth Willis DeHuff, "The Bush Family as descended from John and Mary Bryan Bush", that is in the NC State Library. It has the entire family published and documented with deeds from NC through GA into Barbour Co, AL. As to the Eliza Jones and Ariel Jones, I do not have any knowledge of them in Barbour co,

Noticed reference to your webpage on VA-ROOTS and
thought I would respond as I have some Bush ancestors. My
GGGGGrandmother was Barbara Bush. I am new to genealogy but will
try and give what I have.
Richard Bush Sr. b. 1640 in Essex Co. VA Mar. Elizabeth Bibby b.
1650. Son Richard Bush b. 1678 d. 1736 Essex Co. VA mar.

d.16 Feb 1865 mar. 21 Jul 1821 William McCraw Hensley b. 1804

ancestors I noticed a Thomas M. b. 1817 mar. Polly Ramey in 1837
had a son with a given name of Hensley b. 1844. This caught my
eye. You may have the above information, but thought I would pass
on. I do not have resources for some of above info. What I do not
personally have at hand was furnished by a distant cousin who is
a genealogist and in charge of genealogy department of Denver CO.
Library so I feel it is reliable.
DALE E BUSH
I need help in determing the origins of William Bush, b.1758 d. 1827 m. Elizabeth Shearer, who settled on the South Fork of Grassy Creek, Pendleton County, KY in the late 1780's. William had 11 children, the oldest was Mary b. 3/22/1789 and the youngest was Simeon b. 8/29/1809. Family lore and circumstantial evidence suggests that William served in George Rogers Clark's Illinois Regiment from date unknown until 1783.

I need help with 3 "dead ends" in my BUSH
line. One is my uncle, another is my Grandfathers brother
(GrandUncle?) and the other is my GGGrandfather. I have no clues
where George W. BUSH was before 1860 or after 1880.
~~~~~~~
With Charles Ellis BUSH, I know he has 3 surviving children but
don't know their names. I found the church that did his service
knew him by his nickname but was very uncooperative. I don't know
where to try next?
~~~~~~~
Same with Homer Ellis BUSH, they had a child or 2 but don't know
anything about them.

My GGrandfather was John W. Bush b.08 May 1847 in KY,
d.23 Mar 1907, Knox Co. Ky, m. Lydia Bolton. His father was
William W. Bush b. c.1815 in NC (Census record) and his mother
was Nancy McHargue b. 1828 Laurel
Co. Ky. William and Nancy married in 1845 in Laurel County KY.
The 1840 Laurel Co. census lists a George Bush with a male 20-30
yrs that could possibly be William. George is listed at 50-60
yrs.

I am researching the Bush name. My Bush family came
from PA sometime in the mid 1800's to MO but we arent sure if or
where they stopped along the way. The first 2 Bushes we know of
were Herman or Harman. They both lived in PA. The last one died
in 1801 and the following Peter is probably a grandson of the
last Herman. Peter Bush died 1885 m. Mary ? who died 1887. Their
son was Peter Alfred Bush (1843-1911) m. Maria Jane Sterling
(1847-1918). Their son was Charles Ogle Bush (1881-1961) m. Hazel
Dean Simms (1898-1967).

I am still looking for ANY leads on Moses BUSH who appears on the 1850 and 1860 Census in Onondaga Co NY , in Syracuse. He says he was born in Canada about 1820-1822. His wife is Mary(I think DALEY) and she was born in Ireland. When he dies in 1891 in Syracuse his next of kin are listed as Moses and Hester BUSH rather than his wife so they may have been parents names. His death card says he was born Louis? I believe that the name was changed from BEAUCHAMP to BUSH, but I don't know when. Only know that three of his daughters used the surname BEAUCHAMP, yet it is BUSH when they are born and boys used BUSH.

I am researching my maternal grandfather's side of the family, which just hapen to be Bush/Busch. I have really had a time finding info on these folks. I ran across your web site and went through your tree. John W. Bush and Wyatt caught my eye right off the bat. I'm not sure if it is link or not. Anyway the story I have or should I say the part of the story is this. After the Civil War A Union soldier, John Wyatt Bush, came to MS. He met and married Elisabeth Westbrook. They caught a steamboat a went "back" to IN. There they had 4 children. Only 2 of them survived, John David and Lewis Franklin. John Wyatt died by 1869 and Elisabeth brought the boys back to MS. Do you know of any Bushes that went to IN?
2-16-98 Please check back often as I receive emails on a daily basis. I will make and effort to update this page weekly. New additions will be added below this paragraph so you will know they are new.
