Captain Billy Bush



A Tree In Kentucky

An excerpt from  Genealogical memoranda of the Quisenberry family...:




"One of Thomas Burris's daughters, Frances Tandy Burris, married Captain 'Billy' Bush, who served with George Rogers Clark in the conquest of the northwest and founded the famous Bush Settlement in Clark county.  Other matters of interest concerning the Burris and Tandy families may be found in Appendix VII."


In this excerpt from The Kentuckians, Billy Bush was described as the messenger who brought important news.
