John and Mark were reared upon a farm. In 1838 John learned the carpenter's trade and worked at the business for eight years, then they came to Parke County, IN and there John married, Elizabeth Noel, nee Puett. Her father was a native of Kentucky, and her mother of North Carolina; the former died in 1851, and the latter in 1861. After his marriage Mr Bushong continued to work at his trade, in Indiana, till 1857, when he and his brother moved to Livingston County, Missouri, and farmed till 1869, when they moved to Grundy County and purchased a beautiful farm of 200 acres of choice fertile land. They have lived together and done business together for over 33 years, and so far there has never been a word of difference between them. They are active and energetic men and alive to everything for the public good. They are members of the Missionary Baptist Church." Sandra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/7259
