Robert B. Highly married Sarah Bush, the daughter of Alexander Graham Bush and his wife Anna of Washington Co., MO. She is named in the 1874 Will of her father as Sarah Highly.
Alexander Graham Bush was born in 1803 in Sumner Co., TN, the son of Dr. John H. Bush and Mary Rowland and the grandson of Rev. Reuben Rowland and Anna Blalock with their origins in Albemarle Co., VA.
I would be iinterested in chatting with anyone interested in these families. I would also like to point out the misspelling of Sarah's last name Bush in post #141 on this forum.
