Jeremiah Busby (of Coosa County, AL) stated that during his lifetime he had 22 children.It seems that only 9 of the supposed 12 children by his first wife, Alla Ellison, are known.None of the known names is David.His second wife, Martha Ann Scott, is said to have had 6 children, but the names of 3 appear to be unknown.None of the known ones is named David.By his 3rd wife he had one daughter.Assuming that his figure of 22 is correct, there were probably some infants who were stillborn or died young, in addition to the generally believed 19.Jeremiah may also have been counting Catherine Allison May, who I think may have been his stepdaughter (she may have been Alla's daughter by a previous marriage).
