Re: William W. Buster early 1800s Missouri

I am a descendant of Michael Buster and Charlotte Black by their oldest child, Catharine who married Humphrey McQuary.
Michael Buster was born in 1798 in Montgomery Co., VA.He married Charlotte Black, daughter of John and Sarah Black in Pulaski Co., KY, on 10 Sept 1821.Michael died 1 Dec 1873 in Macon County, Missouri, and is buried at Mr. Tabor Cemetery.His headstone reads as follows:Michael Buster
DIED Dec. l, 1873Aged 75 y.6 mo.25 d.
Information I have says he was the son of William Woods Buster and Mary Byrd.There was another Michael Buster who was married in Pulaski County, KY, in 1821.He was the son of Michael Buster(a brother of William Woods Buster) and Rachel Jarman.The habit of children in the same family giving their own children the names of their parents and siblings really causes a lot of confusion.
