Notes for William Rushing 1782 - 1853 ( Valorie Simonton from RUSHING-L@rootsweb.com, Tue, 5 Jun 2001 )
My line is from William Rushing, born 1783, Anson Co., NC. His wife was Jane
Nichols, d/o Isaac Nichols of Anson Co. Jane was the aunt of the Holden Wade
Nichols who married Mary Ann Rushing, d/o Clement. Labon J. Rushing, who some
believe was the son of Clement, married my gggrandfather, N. G. Norton's
daughter in Van Zandt Co., TX. My Rushings also have some lateral connections
to the children of Jason Rushing and also to the Bedford Co., TN Rushings,
BUT I've not found anything to show how my Rushings were blood related to any
Rushing lines.
My Wm and Jane moved to Stewart Co., TN and then to Madison Co., TN and in
1836 they were in Tishomingo/Alcorn Co., MS. It's believed they only had
three children:
1. Unknown girl, born between 1804-1810, maybe in Stewart Co.
2. Mark, born in Stewart Co., 1809 married Elizabeth Freeman, born KY; Her
family moved to Stewart and Dickson Co., TN and Pike Co., IL.
3. Sarah, born 1815, Stewart Co., married Neil Morrison in Marion Co., IL.
Mark moved his family from MS to Wood and Van Zandt Co., TX about 1846. Mark
and his wife had seven children:
1. Unknown girl, born between 1830-1835, probably in TN;
2. Nancy Ann, born 1833, Madison Co., TN; Married in Hopkins Co., TX: 1st.
Wm. C. Havins, 2nd. Andrew Jackson Freeman;
3. Elizabeth, born abt 1835, Madison Co.?, TN; Married 1st. E. C. Hicks, 2nd.
Josiah Hardin Sanders.
4. Wm. P., b1838, Tishomingo, MS, married Hannah Cooke.
5. Martha E., b1842, Tishomingo, married 1st. S. L. Martin; 2nd. John A.
Allred.
6. John Calvin, b1843, Tishomingo, married Margaret Manila Allred.
7. James W., b1847, Texas, married Lucinda C. Cox.
I think my Wm. Rushing could have been the son of the Mark Rushing on the
1790 Anson Co., Census as the name Mark was passed down in my family and the
Anson County Mark did have sons the right age for one to be my William (only
speculation).
Does anyone have any "orphan" Rushing girls who might belong to my line of
Rushings? Hope so.
Cordially,
Valerie Simonton

Notes for WILLIAM RUSHING:
