The Descendants of John Just Busch 

© 2016 Linda D Newman

I have chosen to use the NGSQ Numbering System in hopes of making this chart easy for others to read.


There are family stories in several of the branches of a connection to Anhiser Busch, but we have not found any proof supporting this fact. I have given my line of descent bold and italicized names to make it easier to follow on down.

 

NOTE: I orginally posted this on my geocities webpage in 1997 and have not yet updated it to reflect newer information. I hope to do so in the near future.

Kingdom of Hanover 1847

This page contains the descendants of John Joseph Busch that are know to us through generation 5. I have chosen to only include the names through the 5th generation to try and protect the privacy of some of the more recent descendants. It is not my intention to exclude anyone nor to embarrass anyone.

 

John and Caroline had nine children (that we know of) in the region known as the Kingdom of Hanover. That region is now a part of modern day Germany. All five of the sons and Caroline came to America. I believe at least one of the daughters also came to America, I am not sure about the other three. At least two of the sons served in the American Civil War. One son, Herman Dietrich, settled in New Jersey. The other four sons made their way to California to live.
