[NI4112] David/Dillard Rushing. Born, circa 1837. Census: 1850, in McNairy Co., TN. Census: 1870, in McNairy Co., TN. Occupation: Sawmill. There is an age match between David Rushing in the 1850 census and Dillard Rushing in the 1870 census.

[NI4142] The parents of Hardy Rushing are unknown. In this database Hardy Rushing is assigned as a son of the Revolutionary War veteran Phillip Rushing. This is based largely on the estimated date of his birth. Also, the majority of Hardy Rushing's first family left Stewart Co. area, as did most or all of the family of Phillip Rushing Jr. Names for children of Hardy Rushing's second marriage are similar to those found in the among Rushings from the Little Brown's Creek/Thompson Creek area of Anson Co. Could Hardy Rushing's second wife Elizabeth also be a Rushing?

Hardy Rushing appears in the 1820 census in Stewart Co., TN. He was married twice. The 1800 census in Anson County, NC, shows him married with a son and a daughter under 10. In the 1810 census, he appears to have three sons under 10, one son 10-16, and two daughters under 10. 1820 census data are 101401-10100. Assignment of Phillip, Whitmill, and R. D. as children of the
first marriage is abritrary. They are Rushings which do not fit other proven and hypothetical groupings in this database. At least one source lists Hardy as a possible alternative name for R. D. Rushing.
