My ancestor is Andrew Fawbush (ca. 1791-1871) .He lived in Washington Co., Sullivan Co. & Hawkins Co. in East Tennessee.He was a veteran of the Warof 1812.I think, but cannot prove, that he was a son of Hugh Fawbush of Washington County, Tennessee.
Hugh appears to be the ancestor of all the Washington County Fawbushes.The name seems to be a corruption of the standard Scotch-Irish name "Forbes."
