Andrew Busby (Scotch) from the Court of St. James in 1554 went as an Ambassador to Austria and was sent further to the Court of Sultan of Turkey. In Austria, his name was changed to A. Busbequius. A. Busbequius was Ambassador for a short while from the Court of St. James to Vienna after his sojourn in Turkey. He brought tulip seeds from his travels in 1600 to Holland for which $10,000 was paid. This was the start of the Holland tulips and they are the tulip producers of the world. During the second World War Hollanders even ate tulip bulbs.

In the brochure for the Natchez Trace Parkway there is a blurb about the Jeff Busby Site at milepost marker 193.1. This campground is named for Thomas Jefferson Busby, the U. S. Congressman from Mississippi who introduced a bill that resulted in the 1934 act authorizing a survey of the Old Natchez Trace. On May 8 1938 the Natchez Trace parkway was authorized as a unit of the National Parkway system. Just thought someone might be interested. Also wanted to add something to list on John S. Busby regarding his service with Company I, 36th Alabama. He was wounded and taken prisoner at Chattanooga and spent the rest of war in a Federal Prison but he lived to come home and died at age 94 in December 1937. He one of the three sons of Sheppard Busby and Mary Polly McIlwain who fought in the Civil War on the Confederate side.

BUSBY, TEXAS (Fisher County). Busby, on State Highway 57 ten miles south of Roby in south central Fisher County, had a church, a school, and a community club in 1947. Its population was reported as twelve in 1970, 1980, and 1990. (BIBLIOGRAPHY: Lora Blount, A Short History of Fisher County (M.A. thesis, Hardin-Simmons University, 1947).)

BUSBY, TEXAS (Falls County). Busby was on Little Deer Creek eleven miles west of Marlin and just east of Carolina in western Falls County. It was one of the earliest settlements in the county west of the Brazos River. A Baptist church, called Little Deer Creek Church, was built there in 1879. In 1881, when the county granted the community's petition for a school, the school was named Busby, in honor of a local family. When the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway was built from Waco to Lott in 1889, Busby was bypassed, but its school continued to draw students for a number of years. In 1905 the Busby school had two teachers and 105 students; by the early 1930s, however, its enrollment had fallen to forty-five. The Busby school district was divided between the Chilton and Lott independent school districts in 1949. The Busby church and a few scattered houses marked the community on the 1948 county highway map, but no sign of the community was shown on the 1989 map. (Bibliography: Lillian S. St. Romain, Western Falls County, Texas (Austin: Texas State Historical Association, 1951).)

BUSBY BRANCH. Busby Branch rises a mile northwest of Byler Point Church in southwestern Fayette County (at 29°54' N, 97°06' W) and runs south for about four miles to its mouth on Buckner's Creek (at 29°50' N, 97°05' W). The stream traverses terrain that varies from low and moderately rolling to flat and locally dissected. Native vegetation consists of hardwood and pine forests with some mesquite and grasses. The soils are shallow to deep sandy clays. The branch is named for James C. Busby, who served in the Plum Grove Rifles in 1861. ( BIBLIOGRAPHY: Leonie Rummel Weyand and Houston Wade, An Early History of Fayette County (La Grange, Texas: La Grange Journal, 1936).

Following are excerpts from an article I found in "The Scottish Rite Journal". It concerns one William Busby and starts with mention of a downtown McAlester Building as follows: "flanked by 1907 a letter "B" on a white stone oval stands alone at the seond story level of a downtown building in McAlester Oklahoma". In this case the letter B stands for Busby "William Busby who was affectionately known as "Colonel" this was his building and he was a giant of his time. The lure of economic opportunity lured him to locate at the turn of the century to McAlester which was then a thriving metropolis at the center of coal fields in Indian Territory. Taking a job as a coal slaesman for what is now Roac Island Railway Company he soon turned to his own coal mining business. In a few short years he amassed a fortune in the mining industry and employed 4000 employees. He used his solid business sense to develop what is now downtown McAlester but he also gave much of his time to public ventures for which he received no compensation. He was a member of S tate Executive Committee of YMCA, and held offices in many public community and civic endeavors". There is other info regarding Mr. Busby's dedication and service to the association which published this article.
