[NI6836] Rue Rushing is placed as a brother of Nathan D. Rushing based on the migration times of the two families from Kentucky to Arkansas in About 1845 for Nathan and about 1850 for Rue. Additionally they are both in Trigg County, KY, then together again in Monroe County, Arkansas and separate from the other Rushings who were born in Arkansas. Else Rue and Nathan Rushing may be an un-discovered part of the Trigg County, Kentucky descendants of William Rushing; 1793, NC - 1854 KY, who married Frances E. Lumsford.

1889: Goodspeed, Pope County, Arkansas
William S. Rushing, a son of Burrell Rushing, is one of the most successful farmers of Martin Township, Pope County, Ark., and was here born March 2, 1858. He attended the common schools in his youth, and at the age of twenty-one years began doing for himself, his time being devoted to tilling the soil on rented land in the neighborhood. At that time he had a small pair of mules, given him by his father, and 5 cents in money, this being his only capital with which to begin the journey of life. The following fall he bought a piece of land consisting of 200 acres, and on this paid what he could from his summer's work, giving his notes for the balance of purchase money. He has prospered well, and is now the owner of the place, free from all encumbrance. He has seventy acres under cultivation, which are improved by good buildings and an excellent apple and peach orchard. He has interested himself in the raising of cattle and hogs, and takes great interest in keeping up with the times in his mode of farming and the improvement of his place. He was married November 29, 1879, to Miss Isabel Latimer, daughter of Isom P. Latimer, of Howard County, Ark., by whom he has three children: William Odus, Joseph Claud and Nettie Maden.
The family are members in good standing of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in which he holds the office of elder, and politically he is a Democrat. He has always been a great reader, and aims to keep fully posted on the affairs of church and state, and is liberal in his support of churches, schools and other public enterprises.
His father, Burrell Rushing, was born October 25, 1815 in Middle Tennessee, and in the spring of 1835 came to Pope County, Ark., where he bought and improved a large tract of land. He was married in January, 1843, to Miss Mary Hays, a daughter of John Hays of this county, but she died in 1848, leaving two sons and one daughter. Mr. Rushing was remarried in 1850 to Amanda Maloy, by whom he has had six children, two being now deceased. Mr. Rushing served in the Indian War in Florida, in 1836, for six months. He is one of the thrifty farmers of the county, and is the owner of 200 acres of land, thirty acres of which he cultivates himself and devotes to corn and cotton. He has for many years been a Deacon in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and politically he is a Democrat.
