Subject: BUSBY & Similar Spelling, in Rowan Co.
Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 20:08:15 -0600


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
