Relax, folks; this is not political. It refers to wooded country, not a family name.
Of special interest to collateral descendants of Capt. Edward Prall [children of Aaron Prall and Mary Whittaker]
The Bush Declaration was the first Declaration of Independence
made by any representative body in America, signed at Bush, Harford
County, Maryland, on March 22, 1775.
"We the Committee of Harford County, having most seriously and
maturely considered the Resolves and Association of the Continental
Congress, and the Resolves of the Provincial Convention, do most
heartily approve of the same, and as we esteem ourselves in a more
particular manner intrusted by our constituents to see them carried
into execution, we do most solemnly pledge ourselves to each other, and
to our Country, and engage ourselves by every tie held sacred among
mankind to perform the same at the risque of our lives and fortunes."
