Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 3rd ed., 1885, Hardin Co. DR. ROBERT B. PUSEY was born in Meade County, Ky., September 24, 1836, and is the youngest of a family of ten children born to Joel and Anna (Roop) Pusey. Joel Pusey was a native of Maryland, where he attained his majority, and from thence he came to Meade County, about 1818, having previously married in Baltimore, Md. He was descended from Scotch ancestry, while the lineage of his wife, Anna Roop, was Irish. The former died in 1849, the latter in 1876. Their family, in seniority of age, is as follows: Evan Pusey (deceased), W. H. Pusey (a farmer), Dr. H. R. Pusey (superintendent of the Anchorage Asylum), J. R. Pusey (a farmer), Dr. D. C. Pusey, (of Brandenburg, Ky.), Sarah Pusey (deceased), and Robert B. Pusey (subject.) Robert B. received a good education in his native county, and early in life decided to make the practice of medicine his life profession; accordingly, at the age of eighteen years, he began his preparatory reading, entered the Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia, Penn., in 1858, and received the degree conferred by that institution in 1860. He at once located for practice in Elizabethtown, Hardin County, where he has since remained and where he has established an enviable reputation. In 1864 he married Miss Bell Brown, daughter of Alfred L. Brown, who is one of the oldest and most honored citizens of Elizabethtown, and a nephew of John Brown, who was killed in the battle of Blue Licks in 1780, and of Patrick Brown, a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1799, and son of William Brown who came to Hardin County as early as 1790. Mrs. Bell Pusey was born in Elizabethtown in 1846. Their children are William A. And Alfred B. Pusey. Dr. Pusey is a member of the Hardin County Medical Association, and of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Pusey Roop Brown = Meade-KY MD PA http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/hardin/pusey.rb.txt
