John V. Debusk1
b. 9 August 1872, d. 12 December 1934
| Birth | 9 Aug 1872 | John V. Debusk was born on 9 Aug 1872 in Virginia.3,1 |
| Marriage | 27 Feb 1894 | He married Martha Cacy, daughter of James Cacy and Elizabeth (?), on 27 Feb 1894 in Washington County, Virginia.2 |
| | John's brother William had married Martha's sister Ruth the previous year. |
| Cens-1900 | 5 Jun 1900 | John and Martha first lived in the Holston district of the county where John worked as a day laborer. At the turn of the century they had been married 6 years and had had 3 children, although one child had died.4 |
| Cens-1910 | 6 May 1910 | They may have moved briefly as the 1910 census recorded them in the Glade Spring district and noted that the location was on Rock Rd. near Stone School house. They were renting a home. Two additional children were born between 1900 and 1910 but daughter Frances (b. 1894) died in 1906.5 |
| Cens-1920 | 3 Jan 1920 | In 1920 they were back in the Holston District where they were enumerated adjacent to John's brother William. Both men were indicated as owning their homes which may reflect the passing of their father in 1913. It appears that John and Martha's daughter Minnie had married in the intervening years and was the mother of a 3 year old son named Francis. John and Martha had added two additional children to the family as well, including a son Harry who at age 2 was younger than his 3 year old nephew.6 |
