BIO: BUSH, David, s/o Daniel & Franey (Sears) Bush Submitted by: Diana Flynn BUSH, SEARS, PORTER "HISTORY OF LAWRENCE, ORANGE AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, INDIANA" GOODSPEED BROS. 1884 JACKSON TOWNSHIP, WASHINGTON COUNTY, INDIANA PAGE 921 DAVID BUSH, a prominent citizen, was born in Washington County, Ind., on the 1st of June, 1831, being the fifth of a family of twelve children, born to Daniel and Franey (Sears) Bush. His father was a native of Virginia, from which State he immigrated to Indiana at a very early day. His mother was a native of Kentucky. She came to Indiana in 1812, settling in Harrison County. David was reared on the farm, and had very poor advantages of schools; owing to the want of early public funds and schoolhouses, he secured only the rudiments. He remained at home with his parents until their deaths, that of the father occurring in 1845, and that of the mother in 1884. In 1865 he married Jane Porter, and to these parents have been born two children, both living: Oliver and Enoch. Mr. Bush is a member of the Christian Church, and contributes liberally to its support, and to all enterprises to benefit the public. In politics he is a Republican, but is not radical in his views. He is a farmer and stock-raiser, which pursuits he has followed during his life. The county has no better people than his family, and no citizen whose name if freer from reproach.
