    Notes:

    There is a question as to whether Milton is the son of James because of his birth date and Jame's date of death.

    MILTON BUSHONG, farmer; P. O., West Mansfield; was born Oct. 22, 1826,in Perry Tp., this county; his father James Bushong, was barn in Ross Co., O., but his mother came from South Carolina with her father's family when she was about 13 years old; they settled near Chillicothe. Shortly after their marriage Mr. Bushong and his young wife moved to Logan Co., and settled on Mill Creek, Perry Tp., in 1821; and there Mr. Bushong died, leaving a widow and three children, besides Milton,who was born a short time after his father's death; here the widow and fond mother clung to her home and children as none but a mother could, and supported and educated them as well as circumstances would permit; soon as the older ones became of age and married they sold out their interest in the estate, but Milton kept his, and with him their mother always made her home until the time of her death, which occurred Nov. 25, 1869. While Milton was living on the old homestead he learned the carpenter's trade and worked at it, as well as conducting his farm; and at his trade he procured means enough to purchase 12 acres which is now in the corporation of West Mansfield. Subsequently he purchased 18 acres more and then sold the 30 acres of the old homestead and bought a piece of unimproved land in the northern part of the township, all of which he traded for the farm of 118 acres where he now resides, which is a beautiful location and well improved; adjoining and partly in the
