This is the same area Needham Busby lived. He was born in N.C. Johnson Co.1754, but moved as a young man to S.C.. I haven't been able to establish his whole family yet but Micajah and Nathaniel were two sons. Micajah moved to TN by 1812 where he served in the militia Davidson Co. TN. Robert Busby was there also. As to the spelling I have found so many different spellings used in the same family I investigate all spellings. Micajah was called Cager and his son Milack was called Miles. This line moved to Missouri then Arkansas and part of the family went to Mississippi. Later some moved to Oklahoma and Texas.
