All Rushings buried in the Old Zion Cemetery in Pope County are assumed to be the family of this Abraham. Note four deaths in ten days. I personally think this Abraham is a better fit for the family of Peter Rushing than the Abraham born in 1808. -David Donahue, 1994

I am the great-great grandson of Holden Rushing, born in 1802 in Anson
County North Carolina, and the great grandson of Robert H. Rushing, also
born in Anson County, in about 1827 or 1829. I know and am aware of
Holden immigrating to Decatur County, TN., then immigrated to Jackson
County, IL., where he is buried in Jonesboro Cemetery.
If you are interested I have the obituary of him when he died in 1878.
I do not have any information on the death of my great grandfather,
Robert H., or where he is buried. He had immigrated from TN., to Jackson
County with my great-grandmother, Johanna. She was cremated, upon her
death. So maybe this is what happened to him, as I can find no records
of burial. We know they immigrated to Illinois in about 1853, as that is
when my grandfather, Robert Whitfied Rushing was born, on route, in
Kentucky, in January.
I understand my great-grandmother, Johanna, was born in Williamson
County, TN., but can not find any records of her in that county. I
assume she and my great-grandfather were married in TN., then came to
Illinois.
Also, what we are wondering if there any Indian heritage on the Rushing
side of the family. From pictures and what I remember of my Dad and my
uncles, there seems to be a strong Indian likeness about all of them.
Thanking you for any information.
Sincerely, HAROLD L. RUSHING

Dan,
I was looking at the database of William Rushing and noticed that some of
the children weren't listed. Here is the list from the Seattle
Genealogical Society:
Abel Rushing b.10-30-1825 d. 2-24-1847
Joseph Rushing b.12-25-1839 d. 2-23-1847
These are sons of Frances E. Everett (b.1805 d.8-18-1855) wife of William
Rushing
Thanks,
Dan Rushing
