Answer 1

Here's a shot in the dark. A biographical sketch that might be related.

THOMAS C. BUSBEY, retired teacher; P. O. Vienna Cross Roads. Matthew Busbey, the grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was born in the county of Antrim, Ireland. He came to America about the year 1771. He settled on the south bank of the Potomac, in Hampshire Co.. Va. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary army. At the time of his death he left a widow, five sons and one daughter.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hamilton Busbey, the father of the subject of this sketch, being the youngest. Hamilton Busbey was born in Hampshire Co., Va., on the old homestead, July 5, 1792. He was married to Miss Sophia Lewis, of Winchester, Va., in the year 1813.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

MY NOTE: Hamilton Busbey married Sophia Lewis.
Wouldn't it be logical if they had a son called Lewis Hamilton
Busbey?



This union was blessed by the birth of seven sons and five daughters, ten of whom are now living, the subject of this sketch being the oldest. Hamilton Busbey and family came to Ohio in October, 1815, and settled in what is now Harmony Township, near the town of Lisbon. Hamilton was a man of considerable influence. He took an active part in the organization of Clark County and Harmony Township. He did much in the organization of the schools of Harmony Township. Hamilton Busbey, in 1815, was looking about for a suitable place to locate in the county. At this time he was offered the lot upon which Jones & Miller's dry goods store is now situated in Springfield for a very small sum of money, but in his judgment at that time Lisbon was the most promising place of the two, where he purchased a corner lot. What a change since then! Hamilton Busbey was a Quartermaster in the war of 1812. Mr. Busbey was for some years the owner of a farm near where the town of Plattsburg now is. He and his family (excepting the subject of this sketch) moved to Illinois in 1839, and settled in Coles Co., where he died Dec. 16, 1847. His wife, Sophia, died at the same place April 2, 1855. The subject of this sketch, Thomas C. Busbey, was born in the town of Romney, in Hampshire Co., Va., March 13, 1815. He came to Harmony Township with his parents in 1815, where he has continued to reside since. He commenced teaching school at the age of 19 years, and continued to teach for thirty-five years in Clark Co. Mr. Busbey was united in marriage, May 24, 1838, to Miss Anna Bodkin, a daughter of Richard Bodkin, who was a pioneer of Ohio. He was born in Harrison Co.. Va., in 1787. He settled in Hamilton Co., Ohio, in 1803, and moved to Clark Co. in 1808. Richard Bodkin's wife, Elizabeth Bodkin (nee) Hester, was born July 28, 1782; she lived where Cincinnati, Ohio, now is, when there were but three houses in that neighborhood. As a result of the marriage of Thomas C. and Anna Busbey, there has been born to them ten children, nine of whom are now living-William (the political editor of the Inter-Ocean, of Chicago, Ill.), Hamilton (a contributing editor, and one of the proprietors of the Turf, Field and Farm, of New York City), L. W. (city editor of the Inter-Ocean, of Chicago, Ill.), Charles S. (a school teacher), T. A. (who lives with his parents), Louise (the wife of W. H. Neer), Angelina (the wife of James Rice), Hattie (who lives at home), Mary (the wife of Theodore Postle), Daniel W. (a son who died May 9, 1865). A very remarkable circumstance is connected with this family; nine out of the ten children have been school-teachers. Where is there another family like them? William and Hamilton were members of Co. C, 1st Ky. V. I. Hamilton served three years. William served two, and was discharged by special order, in order that he might edit the Louisville Journal. Daniel W. was a clerk in the Provost Marshal's office at Clarksville, Tenn., and Post Librarian at Louisville, Ky. Mr. Busbey enlisted as a " squirrel hunter " to defend Cincinnati against the Kirby Smith raid. Mr. Busbey has been elected Township Treasurer of Harmony Township; has served for seven or eight years as Township Clerk; has served for ten years as a member of the Republican Central Committee; was appointed Deputy United States Marshal in 1870, and took the census of Pleasant, Madison and Harmony Townships. Mr. B. has voted for five Whig candidates for President and seven Republican Presidents. Mr. B. is now in his 66th year, a man of clear mind and possessed a wonderful amount of knowledge.

i think of Lewis Hamilton is making an attempt to maintain some face. He stated soem issues this previous weekend he by no skill could have stated in public...he admitted to not following group Orders. There are actually not any group Orders in F1!!! McLaren in basic terms went by using that for the period of Monte Carlo!!!! Denying that such a topic happened! Now LH is saying they're actual and do take place at McLaren!!! If he's not careful he and his dad would be those having some intense subject concerns! Fernando Alonso is in basic terms attempting to be sure how a sparkling group works. he's used to doing issues one way, and now each and every thing is happening in any different case. On suitable of that LH is prevailing and FA isn't! As for Ron Dennis, he should be VERY, VERY careful along with his appeals!!! The FIA has dropped lots stiffer outcomes on communities interior the previous for questioning their judgements. McLaren won't like the no factors determination, however the alternative isn't any factors for the drivers the two! or maybe even dropping factors for the season for being non-donning. FA would have prevented not in basic terms LH from getting yet another lap yet different drivers as properly. The pit lane is in order that vast and him waiting for a sparkling song does not recommend the pit lane will additionally be sparkling. Charlie Whiting would take an extremely dim view of McLaren suitable what the FIA sees as a minor penalty to a doubtlessly very intense subject. keep in mind the FIA penalizes not in basic terms the act, yet additionally to dodge others from doing a similar. the unique penalty is designed to end others from questioning the penalty is extremely certainly worth the crime. If the group thinks in any different case, the FIA has a habit of slapping on much extra outcomes.
