History of Ritchie County CHAPTER XXV Beeson Settled
The Richardses were the pioneers of this creek. George Richards and his wife, Mrs. Kathrine B ush Richards, with their large family, having come from Harrison county very early in the cen tury, and settled at the mouth of Lynn Camp, on the land that afterwards became the home of E dmund Taylor. They came as early as 1800, and it is claimed by some that they were here in 17 95, but this cannot be verified, however; and John Bunnell still holds the distinction that h as always been accorded to him, as being the first settler, within the bounds of the county.
The Richardses are said to have come and to have gone back to their home in Harrison count y a number of times, before settling down here permanently. George Richards removed from th e mouth of this stream to the late L. P. Wilson farm, where his life came to a close.
His sons, who were as follows, were nearly all pioneers here: Isaac,-George, Benjamin, Willia m, John, Michael, Jacob, Elias, James, Nelson, and one daughter, Mrs. George Six, of Athens , Ohio.
Isaac Richards died (unmarried) of wounds received in the war of 1812.
George Richards, junior, settled on Rock Camp. where he reared a family.
Benjamin Richards married Miss Priscilla Jones, who was of Dutch descent, and was the first s ettler on Lynn Camp, he having reared his dwelling near the present site of the school-house . He was the father of Dr. Benjamin Richards of Pullman.
William Richards settled on the Rev. E. J. Taylor farm, where he passed from earth.
John Richards married Miss Nancy Taylor, sister of James Taylor, and went to Calhoun county , where he died at the age of one hundred four years, and near Big Springs he sleeps. He wa s the grandfather of Joseph Richards, of Goff's, Joseph being the son of Edward Richards.
Other Brothers.--Michael married Miss Caroline Wilson, daughter of John Wilson, of Calhoun co unty; and Benjamin, Miss Ruth Jones, and these brothers were the first settlers on the Syelu s Hall farm, on Lynn Camp. But Michael went to Calhoun county, where he died, and where his d escendants live; and Jacob removed to Beeson, where he died in 1899, at the age of ninety-fou r one-half years, and in the Wilson burying ground, near the mouth of the stream, he lies bur ied.

Daniel D. Bush was born in Gilmer county, on July 18, 1826
Page 563
his parents, Paulser, and Elizabeth Heckart Bush, being pioneers of that county.
He married Miss Nancy Riddel, daughter fo George M. Riddel, who was also a native of Gilmer ; and in 1873, came to Auburn, where he remained until February 24, 1906, when he passed to h is final home. And in the Auburn cemetery his body rests.
He was a man of unimpeachable character, and his memory will long be revered. He served a s a Union soldier in Company G, Tenth West Virginia Infantry Volunteers, being mustered out a t the end of two years, owing to physical disability.
He was the father of ten children: Eustace, the youngest son, and Laura have passed on; J. N. , and Mrs. Josephine Kniseley Marclay Wilson, reside in Oklahoma; Charley, in Wirt county; Mr s. Mittie (J. C.) Lawson, at Auburn; Eva, who first married Charles Oldaker, is now Mrs. Robe rt A. Henderson, of Auburn; Florence Marie, is the widow of the late Okey J. Cooper, of Newbe rne; Olive Pearle is Mrs. S. C. Phillips, of Smithville; and Drusilla, with her mother, live s at Auburn.
The last three daughters named were skillfull musicians, and their little "stringed-band" wa s a feature of no little enjoyment to the traveling public who patronized their hotel, whil e they were at home.
The Bushes came from Germany. The original family on this side of the water consisted of fiv e brothers and four sisters, and one or more half-brothers, namely, Peter, Jacob, Henry, John , George, Susan, Barbara, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Adam Bush-- the half-brother; and from the se brothers the many different families of this name, scatered throughout this and other stat es, are descended.
The exact time of their migration to America is not known, but it must have been shortly befo re the Revolution, as Peter Bush took up arms in defense of his adopted country, in her strug gle for liberty.
Neither is it known where they first settled, but they landed at Philadelphia upon their arri val here.
The late Daniel C. Bush, of this town, was descended
Page 564
from Adam Bush, the half-brother, above mentioned--Adam being his grandsire.
But Daniel S. Bush, of Harrisville, Mrs. Elizabeth Bush Heckart Fling, and Mrs. Elsie Fling , wife of F. G. Fling, of Burnt House; and Mrs. Mary Goff, of Hazelgreen, familiarly known a s "Aunt Polly," are all descended from Jacob, who married Miss Margaret Flesher, and came fro m Lewis county to Gilmer in pioneer days, and settled at the mouth of Leading creek, where h e and his wife sleep.
Mrs Elizabeth Fling and Mrs. Mary Goff, are the granddaughters of Jacob, the former being th e daughter of Henry and Margaret Snyder Bush; and the latter, the daughter of George Bush, wh o was designated as "Surveyor George Bush." And Mrs. Elsie Fling and Daniel S. Bush are the g reat-grandchildren of Jacob. Mr. Bush being the son of Jacob H. Bush, and the grandson of Hen ry; and Mrs. Fling the daughter of George W. Bush, and the granddaughter of Henry.
All the other families of this name in this, and Gilmer counties, belong to this same stock.
