2. Richard Bush (1640-1706) M. ELIZABETH BIBBY

4. Richard iii Bush (1678-1735 ) M. 1st Mary PRESCOTT
M 2nd Susannah HINDS
Richard Bush and Mary Jane Prescott had 9 children:
Were any of these children William Bush. Not if they all stayed in South Carolina.

14. Nicholas Stallings lived in Perquimans Co. 125 acres (arrears on quit rents-1729 to 1732 ) His name is associated with WM T and John Bush in 1823. Could my Bushes have come from Perq?
Could my old William Bush (b. 1770) have come from Perquimans ?

NICHOLAS STALLINGS NAME: associated with his son, William T Bush. Check Perquimans Co where Stalllings family lived in 1740's.

William CRAWFORD Winnessed trasnportee, William Bush's will in 1717 also witnessed will of William Hooker, husband of Anne Cooke. They had Ann Hooker who married Robert Evans, collateral relative to my Wm. Bush family.

IT'S ALWAYS THE USUAL SUSPECTS, BUT I NEVER FIND THE PARENTS OF OLD WILLIAM BUSH

The name Bush is spelled both Bush Boush in the documents for Elisha Twine Bush-later descendant of old William Bush
The spelling in the family Bible is consistently Bush.

Good copy of 1751 map of Gates Co showing Edenton and Chowan River on Gates Co web site. This is 20 years before old Wm Bush was born.
