The Samuel Busey credited with
seven slaves is without doubt tho Sam
del Busey of Springfield. The first GEN.
sus carries the name Of John Busey
as the head of a family in the Cabin
John section of Montgomery county
and registers him as not owning slaves.
There is nothing to indicate whether
this John Busey was the father or the
grandfather of DR.. Busey. but pre-
sumably he was the grandfather and
the brother of Samuel os Springfield
1t was not long after the death Of
Capt. Joseph Augustus White that
what remained of the estate Of Stony
Lonesome sold in front of the
courthouse in Rockville. 1t was bought
by James Powell, who farmed the land
for about twenty-seven years About
twelve years ago the property was
bought by J. II. Joyce. who with his
family lives there today.
Capt. Joseph Augustus White was a
graduate of Benjamin Hallowelrs
School "a Alexandria. He farmed sue
cessfully at Stony Lonesome for num-
ber of years, but at length the tide Of
fortune turned against him and. I'm the
words of DR.. Busey, he died so poor
that his estate was consumed in the
payments of his debts" He was buried
near the house in a strange-looking
vault built of rough stones gathered
from the surrounding fields. This Is
the vault that is now fallen in. and
only a depression in the land reveals
where it was
