Rodisa "Dysy" or "Dicie" Barnes & Micajah Busby , 1800s TN MS
I'm looking for information about the parents and other relatives or ancestors of Rodisa Barnes, also known by her nickname as Dysy or Dicie.She was born about 1810 in Tennessee and died about 1880, perhaps in Tishomingo Co., MS, according to information found on the Internet.She married Micajah Busby on 15 Feb 1830 in Madison Co., TN.Info on the Internet and the censuses indicate that he was born about 1808 in Davidson Co., TN, and died about 1855 in Tishomingo Co., MS. Information conflicts about his parents.After studying the various web pages about him, I think he was most likely the son of Micajah Busby (Sr.) and Nancy [unknown].Rodisa might have been a daughter of Loftin and Mary "Polly" Barnes, although one source says that her father was named John Barnes (I have not been able to confirm that).I suspect that Rodisa may be the same person as Bodicy Barnes, sometimes listed as wife of Micajah Busby -- could that name really be Rodicy Barnes?
The children of Rodisa and Micajah Jr. that I've found listed on the Internet or in the censuses are: Levi, born about 1834; James, 1837, Nathaniel, about 1839; Martha Adline, 13 May 1840, John, about 1843; David, about 1844; Samuel, about 1846 (all of these born perhaps Henderson Co., TN); William Micajah, born Aug 1850; Mary, born about 1852 (the latter two in Tishomingo Co., MS).
I would welcome any additions or corrections to this information.My primary interest is the Barnes family or families found in Madison County, TN, in the 1830s.
