Buster and Jones of Wythe Co, VA
I am a direct descendant of Mary Jane "Polly" Buster who married James Jones 23 Oct 1798 in Wythe Co, VA.
Jack Buster on his Web page has her parents, birthplace and marriage date incorrect.
She was the daughter of William Buster and Jane Woods, was born in Wythe Co, VA and 10 Oct 1798 was the date of the bond, not the marriage date.
In his will William Buster referred to her as Jane and left her two slaves.I have deeds showing William Buster and Jane Woods were in Wythe Co, VA by the date of Mary Jane's birth, a copy of their marriage in the Wythe Marriage book, and a copy of the Jones family bible.John Stanger the Minister was a near neighbor to the Busters in Wythe Co, and I doubt if they would have traveled all the way to Wytheville to get married.When they moved to Wayne Co, KY after their marriage they brought with them the two slaves that her father had left to her in his will.
Mary Jane's brother Charles married Sarah Jones, sister of James.This makes us double cousins.
I would like to contact any descendants of these two couples for a planned Jones reunion in Wayne Co, KY.We have descendants of both families who plan on attending.
