Person:Ambrose Bush (1)

Not to be confused with Person:Ambrose Bush (3), who married (Sarah) Jane Quisenberry. Both of these men show up in the 1850 and 1860 censuses, approximately the same age, both born in Virginia (according to the 1850 census). There doesn't seem to be proof of which was the son of Ambrose and Lucy (Gholson) Bush, but since the one who married (Sarah) Jane Quisenberry was living in Clark County, Kentucky (1850 and 1860 censuses) and had a granddaughter named Lucy (1860 census), it is assumed that he was the son of Ambrose and Lucy (Gholson) Bush.
