This is probably one of the last pictures that was made of my family while
Dwight was living. He died on October 9, 1961. We were living in
Hollywood, Florida at the time of his death. His body was brought to
Arley, Alabama and he was buried in the cemetery at Meek Baptist Church..
This is a picture of my brother, Dwight, his two children Warren and
Charlotte Busby, Grandma Aaron (Nancy Jane Abbott Busby Aaron) and me
and my Daddy, Lovern Busby. I guess you can tell, I was a Daddy's girl.
As the saying goes "a little girl can wrap her Daddy around her little finger".
Benjamin Busby's father was W. D. (David) Busby b. 3/1852 and his mother's name was Mary Ann Manning born abt. 1853. I have a copy of their marriage
license from Jefferson County, AL. They were married at the home of Wm Buzbee on July 1, 1875. I believe she was the daughter of John M. Manning who was
living in Jefferson County, AL in the 1860, 1870 and 1880 census. Mary Ann must have died because in the 1900 Census of Walker County, David Busby was
married 6 mths to Sophia (later found in the 1910 census living with her father Samuel Stewart age 82). David probably died sometime between 1900 and 1910.
In the 1880 census David is listed as William Buzbee age 26, wife Mary A. Buzbee 25 and son William D. Buzbee age 6 mths.
In the 1860 Walker County, AL Census @ Ancestry on pg. 168, David is listed as William D. age 4 son of William Bushbee age 27 b. AL. and his wife Mary J. 20,
with children, Nancy J. 6, William D. 4, Joseph C. 2, John W. 3mths and in the same household is Elizabeth 58 b. SC, Silas A. 20, Docter M. 16, Mary A. 14, and
Joshua 8. (According to this census David was born 1856)
William Bushbee is listed in the 1880 Census of Walker County, AL as William Busby 50, wife Mary J. 40 and children, Jacob B. 14, Hiram H. 12, Francis M. 10,
Thomas J. 7, Hutson 4, Joshua 6 and Mary J. 1.
In the 1850 Census of Walker County, AL pg. 38 of District 11 at Ancestry, David's father William is 20 years old and the oldest son living at home of his father
William Buzbee, Sr. 48 born in SC and his wife Elizabeth 47, born NC. In this household is Elizabeth 21, William 20, Huston 17, Caroline 16, Martin 12, Louiza 10,
Silas 9, Milinday 8, Maradeth 5, Maryan 3, and Joshua 2.
After talking with a Busby descendant of Hiram Henry Busby, son of William Busby b. 1830, there were several of Hiram Henry Busby's children who married
Mannings.
