He was from Big Creek Twp. I am researching my family and my great grandfather was named John Thomas BUSH, Born on November 12, 1853. There isn't any information on where he came from. I am looking for records of my grandmothers parents and grandparents. There was a brother named Bert.
Records show residence was Helena.
Any information you can find will be greatly appreciated. William was Ed's brother and was 28 at the time. I have been unable to find any early information on him. Various census records list his place of birth as Alabama and Georgia. He was in Walker Co.,Al.
