One of the participants in the Bush Surname DNA Project is a descendant of the Richard Bush and Penelope Adams who were married in Pulaski Co., Georgia in 1832. The project record for that person shows that this Richard is the son of Sanders Bush who died in 1810 in Pulaski Co., Georgia. Sanders Bush's will left his estate to his wife Mary for the support of herself and their children. Mary Bush died in 1818 in Pulaski Co., Georgia and left a will naming their children including Richard. There is another person in the Bush DNA Project who is a proven descendant of this Sanders Bush. The DNA results for these two participants show a close match indicating that they belong to the same Bush line.
You can find the Bush Surname DNA Project at www.personal.psu.edu/faculty/g/a/gah4/BushDNA/Results.htmlThe descendant of Richard Bush and Penelope Adams is B-047 in Group B-1 of the project, and the other descendant of Sanders Bush is B-019 in Group B-1.
