William Bustard is thought to have been born between 1680 and 1704. To date there is no proof of his actual birth date or birth place*. He died between April 1747 and July 1748 in Albemarle County, Virginia. He married Elizabeth (LNU) circa 1728. She died after 1777. Speculation points to a maiden name of Wallice/Wallace. This has not been proven to date.

*William's birthplace is unknown. It is widely speculated to be either Ireland or Scotland. Same for his emigration to America. Did he hail from Donegal, Ulster, North Ireland, or from England? Did he arrive on the ship "George and Ann"? There is no solid proof of his ever being on this ship, but the claim persists to this day. Much more research needs to be done to substantiate these claims.
Please use these pages as a guide only. With the Buster family, there are many twists and turns when it comes to the actual truth. Some things have been passed down through generations only to be discovered as completely false. I post these pages as a resource only. This is what I think is the truth, but if you know it to be otherwise, I would love to hear from you. Please contact me with any corrections or additions.
