son of Harvey Granville Bush - Margaret Snowden

Bettie A. Morter married James Bush on 14 February 1867 at Boone County, Missouri. She preceded him in death. James Bush moved with his family to Young County in 1888, settling first in the Belknap community, then moving to the Proffitt Community..

Funeral home records providedd by the family and obituary from Newcastle Register show the name of parents shown above.

------

The death certificate shows parents were: Harvey G. Bush - Dulcina Elkin.

If anybody does their math, they will see that the death certificate has the wrong date for his birthday. Dulcena died in 1841 and according to this website, using his death date and age, he was born before Dulcena died, so Margaret Snowden is NOT his mother. He would have been a small chap when his mother, Dulcena died https://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadd.html - Dulcena is my 4th great-aunt, Dulcena (Elkins) Fletcher's niece and James Bush is a half-brother to John Ezekiel Fletcher. Dr. Walker Pierce (#49538893), a descendant of John Ezekiel Fletcher caught the death certificate's mistake after I sent both James and Nannie's death certificates to him. Both their birthdays were written incorrectly. Figure it out yourself, using his death date and age and tell me what you think.
