While the Synod of South Holland was in session in Dort, 1731, eight hundred exiled Palatines passed through the place to take ship at Rotterdam for America. They were visited by the whole Synod in a body and were furnished with provisions and medicines. After Christian exhortation, prayer and singing, they were dismissed with the assurance that they might rely upon the Church of Holland for support in their new abode.-- Ger. Ref.

In Beantwortung Ihrer Anfrage vom 24. II. kann ich Ihnen mitteilen, dass
unser Stammbaum der Boschung unvollstandig ist. Wir haben wohl
einen Johann Boschung (*1692, +1766 in Jaun), verheiratet 1720 mit Barbara
Buchs. Die Heirat fand ausserhalb von Juan statt und ist, wie auch die Kinder,
fur uns nicht greifbar. Sollten Sie Angaben uber den Ort der Heirat und der Geburten haben, werden wir gerne versuchen, weitere Angaben zu finden.
Die Eltern waren Johann waren Martin (*1636, + 1721), der 1677 Katharina
Thurler (*1659, +1729) geheiratet hat. Die Grosseltern waren
Johann Boschung (*?, + 1655), verheiratet 1631 mit Elisabeth Cottier (*?, +
1678).
Urgrosseltern waren Jakob Boschung (*?, +1629), verheiratet um 1585 mit
Elisabeth Gremaud (*?, +1629). Die ururgrosseltern waren moglicherweise Johann und Elisabeth buchs (ohne Daten).
In der Hoffnung, Ihnen mit diesen Angaben zku dienen, verbleiben wir mit
freundlichen Grussen. .

Our family tree of is incomplete Boschung. We have probably
Boschung a Johann (* 1692, +1766 in Jaun), married 1720 with Barbara
Book. The marriage took place outside of Juan and, like the children,
for us not tangible. If you have information about of the place of marriage and the births, we will gladly try to find more information.
The parents were were Johann Martin (* 1636, + 1721), the 1677 Catherine
Has Thurler (* 1659, +1729) married. The grandparents were
Johann Boschung (*?, + 1655), married 1631 Elizabeth Cottier (*?, +
1678).
Great-grandparents were James Boschung (*?, +1629), Married about 1585 to
Elizabeth Gremaud (*?, +1629). The great-great grandparents were John and Elizabeth possibly Code (no data).
Remaining in the hopes you are ZKU with this information, we are with
friendly greetings. .

Hubet Foerster, State Archivist. Generally, northeastern Swiss dialects are closer to standard German in pronounciation and have fewer special words while dialects from narrow alpine valleys are more original and require a longer adaptation time. The dialect of upper Wallis is probably the most peculiar one and sounds kind of mysterious even to many urban Swiss German natives. About suffixes and "ung"

On the inscription on the golden horn, which is supposed to belong to the fourth century of the Christian Era, the man who made the horn adds to his personal name, Lægæst the word Holting, which means “Holtes Ætling” (“Holtes’ descendant). Such additions as “-ing” and “-ung,” which signify descent, are also found later, on several of the runic stones; for instance, Carolinger, Capatinger, Skjoldunger, Vølsunger, and it is classified with the forms ending with “-ling,” as Klling (chick) from Kok (chicken), Gæsling (gosling) from Gaas (goose). These endings “-ing” and “-ling” we still find in several family names of northern Scandinavian and German origin; such as Dyring, Bering, Berling, etc. Most of the Scandinavian names ending with “-ing and “-ling” have originated from the names of places; such as Gylling, Vinding, etc.

Bosch is not a German word but a surname of Dutch,Catalan and North German origin. It's derived from the Latin word for wood.

... A consultation of directories, cata-
logues of colleges, church records, etc., shows that a
large number of these names have been changed.
Of course the tendency to change a foreign name in
an English speaking country is natural. In the
first place during the early part of the i8th century
all Germans who received a grant of public lands
were required to have their names Anglicized. Then
again orthography in those days was in a bewildered
state. In addition to all this was the natural objec-
tion to the inconveniences arising from having a
name which others could with difficulty pronounce or
spell. ....

As is well-known, most of the immigrants to Penn-
sylvania during the first 70 years of the i8th century
came from the Palatinate and Switzerland. Pennsyl-
vania-German itself is a patois whose basis is the dia-
lects of the Upper Rhine and German-Switzerland.....

.....It has often seemed to me a pity that so many
Pennsylvania German names with long and honor-
able ancestrj' should have been changed to hybrid
English forms, without meaning and often without
beauty. What a deterioration there is in such names
as Shunk (from the Huguenot Jean), or Bushong
(from Beauchamp).

"These German names almost all came from the Palatinate and Switzerland. Even today we can trace the Swiss origin of many-for instance, Urner (from Uri), Johns (Tschantz), Neagley (Naegeli), Bossler (Baseler).

Some are of French Huguenot origin, which by combined German and English influence have often received a not very elegant or euphonious form: examples are Lemon (Le Mon), Bushong (Beauchamp)"

Gilbert Cope's Genealogical & Personal Memoirs of Chester & Delaware Counties Pennsylvania (1904, p540-542) sketch on Henry Bushong, stating:
"Jean Beauchamp, the progenitor of the Amerian branch of the Bushong family, who changed the name from Beauchamp to Bushong, which in pronunciation has a somewhat similar sound to the original French name, was a member of a Huguenot family who probably fled from France to Holland to escape the religious persecution of that country. In any event, it was from Holland that Jean Beauchamp sailed to this country, landing in the year 1731. His marriage resulted in the birth of a son, Philip Beauchamp, married Ann Eve, and their son John Beauchamp, born 12 mo., 2, 1750, died 12 mo., 21, 1831, married Eva Eckman Slaymaker, born April 3, 1755, died August 19, 1819.

Jean (Hans - German derivative, John - English) was born in France in 1692. A French Huguenot, he sailed from Rotterdam, Holland on the British ship 'Britannia'. The ship's master was Michael Franklyn. He arrived in Philadelphia around 1731. Strasbourg, France in the Alsace-Lorraine area is rich in iron and coal deposits and historically has been the subject of border disputes between France and Germany. It lies at the convergence of the borders of France, Germany and Switzerland and has alternately been governed by France and Germany. Following WWI it became a part of France again.

At the time of his birth in 1692, the area was under the control of the French, but the culture was German. Lancaster County, PA had a large German speaking community, called Pennsylvania Dutch. The family was known as Swiss.

September 21, 1731 at the age of 39 he and his wife Barbara settled their family in East Lampeta Township, Lancaster County, PA, near the Heller Church. Rev. Johanus Bartholomew Rieger was a fellow passenger aboard the ship.

Rev. Stapleton wrote about him in his 'Memorials of the Huguenots' saying,
"The head of the Bushong family, now so numerous in America," It was published in Carlisle, PA 1901.

I. Daniel Rupp's 'History of Lancaster County' states: "John Bushong, a French Huguenot, sailed in the same vessel with the Rev. Johannes Bartholomew Rieger. They left Rotterdam by way of Cowes, in the ship Britannia of London, Michael Franklyn, Master, and arrived at Philadelphia in Sept. 1731. Some of Bushong's descendants reside in East Lampeta near Heller Church". Page 271, Colonial Records, Archives of Pennsylvannia, 1717-1733. (Col Rec. III.431)

From Memorials of the Huguenots in America, by Rev. A. Stapleton in 1901, member of the Pennsylvania German Society: "Beauchamp. - in 1731 arrived Jean Beauchamp (1) and wife Barbara, the head of the "Bushong" family, now so numerous in America. He located in East Lampeter, near the Heller Church. He was born in France in 1692. His son Jacob located in Berks county was the head of the Bushong family of Berks county, while another son, Peter, emigrated to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, and founded the Southern branch. There was also a Jacob Bouchon in York county prior to 1755."

(1) (Jean Beauchamp's family consisted of John, Philip, Peter, Henry, Jacob, David, Mary, Barbara and Elisabeth.) Summer 1997 13:2 pg 21-29 Carol W. Bell says this has been proven to be untrue, by official records (Lancaster Co PA Orphan's Court, 5 Mar 1750/51) and that "Peter, Henry, David & Elizabeth are names of four of Philip's nine children."

The Bushongs were aristocrats from the Warwicks and were called 'The King Makers.' W.A.T. Bushong, while visiting England in the 1930's, was touring the House of Lords and went into the cloakroom. There he saw three pegs to hang one's coat. One said, 'THE KING' ; another said, 'THE PRINCE OF WALES'; the third one said, 'BUSHONG'! Interpreted from a post on Genforum

This is a tranlsation and family line construction of a letter in German from researcers abroad. It has some very interesting names in the line.....

1 Johann Boschung ?
+Elisabeth Buch (Book)?
2 Jacob Boschung (? - 1629), Married around 1585
+Elizabeth Gremaud ( ? - 1629)
3 Johann Boschung (? - 1655) married 1631
+Elisabeth Cottier (? - 1678)
4 Johann Martin Boschung (1636 - 1721), married 1677 (by dates could be a 2nd wife?)
+Katharina Thurler (1659 - 1729)
5 Johann Boschung (1692 - 1766 in Jaun), married 1720 outside of Juan, died in Jaun
+Barbara Buchs (Book) (Buchs translates to Paper).

They were from Jaun, Canton Fribourg, Switzerland.

From Wiki... Jaun is a municipality in the district of Gruyère in the canton of Fribourg in Switzerland. It is the only German-speaking municipality in Gruyère. Jaun is about 15 miles from Fribourg.

Fribourg was a Catholic bastion, these Boschungs ;likely never converted to Protestant.... to survive the protestant persecution, while not becoming refugees, as did Hans Jean and Nicholas Boschung.

Many families named all their male children Johann.... from Wiki... Johann, (pronounced, "YO-hahn") typically a male given name, is the Germanized form of the originally Hebrew language name "Yohanan" (meaning "God is merciful"). It is a form of the Germanic given name "Johannes", which comes from Johan. ... then parents and children used the middle name to differentiate from other siblings. Father Boschung is the unknown parent, the paterfamilias, of the Bushongs. This includes brothers, Hans John Boschung and Johann Nicholas Boschung, which are two proven lines, but there are possibly others.

Hans arrived in Philadelphia in 1731. Nicholas arrived in Philadelphia a year after his brother, enough time for Hans to send word back to France, and let his brother know he'd made it OK. Gottlieb Mittelberger's journey to Pennsylvania in the year 1750 and return to Germany in the year 1754

Gottlieb Mittdberaer's Journey to Pennsylvania in the year 1750 and
return to Germany in the year 1754

Frequently many letters are entrusted in
Pennsylvania and other English colonies to
nevvlanders who return to the old country.

In Pennsylvania and the other English colo-
nies there are innumerable negroes, or blacks,
who have to serve all their lives as slaves.
From 200 to 350 florins are paid for a strong
and industrious half-grown negro.

The price of farms in Pennsylvania, especially
round Philadelphia, is already quite high ; from
30 to 50 florins are paid for an acre, only a
day's journey from the city, although the ground
is still uncleared forest land. If a place is de-
sired for a homestead, which is already in a
habitable and cultivated condition, containing a
dwelling-house, barns and good stables, together
with meadows, orchards, tilled fields and suffi-
cient woodland, twice as much is asked for it as
for uncultivated land, the price being about one
hundred florins per acre.

There is a current saying to the effect that
Pennsylvania is the paradise of women, the
purgatory of men, and the hell of horses.
MYTH!

Guienne, his occupation was that of a tailor, his wife was Barbe Foltz de

Now if this Susan is the widow of John A. Bushong, then from this census
we learn the following: Elizabeth is the Betsey named in the Bible record
above and is possibly the daughter of Rebecca Hale and not Susan. There is a ten
year gap between last child named in Bible record and next child born to
John.Susan probably is the mother of the Jane, John and Samuel and married him
circa 1829.

John A. Bushong, s/o Henry and Isabella probably married first to Rebecca
Hale and had the 4 children listed in the Bible and then married Susan
second who had the 3 children listed in the census?

We do not know which child Mrs. John Owens descends from but if she wrote this information, possibly she did not know that John had a first wife. Does anyone know what the date of
publication for this Bible was? Is Mrs. Owens still alive?
This needs to be looked into a little closer.

A FREAK OF NATURE
Mr. Editor: On the 2nd day of August 1855, in Cass County, Texas, Mrs. Bushong, late of Pickens county, Alabama gave birth to a female child having two distinct heads and faces. The heads are united at the earls, only one ear being visible between them. The eyes are blue, stand wide open, and one pair are crossed. The next is very short, the body well proportioned in length, but one third broader than usual across the chest. The heads are bare except a slight streak of hair across them from ear to ear. The child's birth was premature, supposed to have been caused by exposure in travelling to Texas. It was dead when born, and I presume may be seen at any time, at Dr. B. Y. Patterson's Cherokee settlement, Cass County, Texas (who has it preserved in alcohol) where I saw it myself, a few days ago.

Esther Margaret Bushon was born on 25 January 1845 in Alabama. She and Ira Eaton Olmstead were married in June 1874 in Bosque County, Texas. She died on 20 October 1900, at age 55, in New York. She was buried in Pine Hill Cemetery, Pine Hill, Ulster County, New York.

Her married name was Esther Margaret Olmstead. Esther Margaret Bushon was also known as Esther M. Bushon. My Great Grandmother was Esther Margaret Bushon. She was the daughter of Martin Bushon and Nancy Parker of Mississippi. She, however, was born in Alabama November 25 1845. From an old telegram or letter we have found I have reason to believe she is probably the sister of G.S. Bushon or Sam Sushon of Childress, Tx. The telegram states that G.S. Bushon did at the age of 69 yrs 2 mo and 16 days in 1922. He was at the residence of Mrs. Sam Bushon. The telegram was sent by R.D. Bushon. I am trying to trace the Bushon family and I believe that Ann in Texas is a part of my family. I am trying to determine the persons in the following marriage record in Bosque Co TX: J. E. Olmstead married E. M. Bushong in June 1874. Esther Margaret Bushon Olmstead

GRANTS SOUTH OF GREEN RIVER A group of records entered from 1797 to 1866 known as Grants South of Green River comprises twenty- nine books and includes 15,730 separate grants. These were known sometimes as " Headright Claims, ' ' and were based upon an act of the Kentucky General Assembly of December 21, 1795, and are listed in Chapter IV.

TELLICO GRANTS
The small and unique group of land grants recorded between 1803 and 1853 embraces the grants issued upon warrants from the Register of the Land Office upon what is known as the Tellico Claims.

KENTUCKY LAND WARRANTS
In 1815 the Kentucky State Legislature passed an act relative to land distribution, and the records written in fulfillment of this statute are now known as Kentucky Land Warrants, 1816-1873. These grants consist of forty- three books and 25,621 grants and comprise Chapter VI of this volume. The act of the General Assembly governing this group of grants opened for sale, at $ 20.00 per 100 acres, all the vacant lands to anyone in Kentucky, except an alien.

COUNTY COURT ORDERS
The most extensive group of Kentucky land records has become known as the County Court Orders. These consist of 126 volumes and are thoroughly indexed in Chapter X. They include 69,356 separate land grants. This group of grants was created by an act of the General Assembly and approved February 28, 1835. Under the statute, each county in Kentucky was given all the vacant and unappropriated land within its boundary lying east and north of the Tennessee River. This is the most recent group of land grants in Kentucky; hence its inclusive dates are 1836 to 1924.
