Matt: Re Busharts Union Commands :

In addition to the Busharts of Kentucky, Civil War, there were additional cousins on the Union commands that also had excellent records ( six total ). In addition to Jacob, 74th Ohio Inf, there was William Bushart KIA, 116th Illinois Infantry Regiment, Co C, mustered in Aug 15, 1862, mortally wounded at the battle of Vicksburg, died at Memphis Tennessee, May 31, 1863. Another cousin was also KIA at the Wilderness battlefield, I am uncertain on the specifics but I will place them later. In all there was approximately twenty one confederate and six union in the Bushart family ( two KIA confederate, three union KIA ).
