Check Newspaper abstracts online - "Our Constitution" 4 Dec 1858 (arrested for horse thieving) & 12 Feb 1859 (?re-arrested after escape?) -- a couple of articles indicate Granville got into a little trouble with the law. See also Champaign County Archives (Urbana Free Library); found guilty in April term 1859 and October term 1860.

It appears that both Merritt Busey and Granville Busey had civil war service; if they had pension files you will likely find helpful family info there.
Merritt Busey b 1839 died 16 July 1868.
I think this may be Granville in the 1880 census:
