Counradt Bush was born in November 13, 1759 around the Albany, NY area.  During the Revolutionary War, he served as a Corporal in the 14^th Regiment of the New York State militia, along with his father Gilbert.  

Around 1790, Coundradt moved to Ontario County, NY, on the outskirts of what is now Geneva, along with his wife Catherine Fisher.  They resided here for many years, where they raised multiple children.  Around 1818, Coundradt began purchasing land in Parma, NY although he did not move to the area permanently until the spring of 1830.  Many of his relatives, including children, preceded him in moving to Parma.  Early upon his arrival, he purchased the Atkinson Mill on Salmon Creek and carried on multiple enterprises such as weaving, blacksmithing, and milling.  

Counradt passed away on August 15, 1832, and is buried in Parma Union Cemetery.  In June 1940, the Orleans County Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution held a ceremony to honor this veteran and placed a historical marker at his gravesite.
