RUSHING FAMILY (DECATUR AND HENDERSON COS., TN)       15 NOV 1997             1














                                FIRST GENERATION




1.    Mathew[1] Rushing. Died, before 1730, in NC. 
      The following information was supplied by Charles C. Rushing and appears 
in the "Rushing Past" newsletter, II(1), March 1980. "Let's start with the Isle
of Wight County, Virginia. 'Early Eighteenth Century Palatine Emigration' by 
Knittle (on Page 252) states that on the 2nd sailing from Holland to England 
then to Virginia, there was listed 23 May 1709 Mathys Riesin (German for 
Rushing) and Vrow (wife) and three children. Then on page 262 Mattys Russin -- 
they were of Protestant faith and could not worship as Protestants in Germany. 
In 'Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight Co. Virginia' by John Bennet Boddie, it 
states that Mattys Russian sold 150 acres to Wm Bridger in 1714. The Russians 
(Rushings) were living in an area overrun by Louis XIV of France and had 
escaped to Holland. There they were helped by Queen Anne of England who 
promised to take them to Virginia to settle there. In 'Lost Virginia Records' 
by Louis Des Cognets on Page 88, Mathew Rushin applied for 475 acres with a 
partner Edward Goodson. Russin sold his (or a part) to Wm. Bridger as stated 
above. This deed was dated 10 April 1707 (a little variation in the dates from 
the 'Palatine Migration' book). Mathys Rushin had to live on it for a period to
get title; on 16 June 1714 he got title (page 190 of 'Lost Virginia Records'). 
Here is synopsis: 1707 Mathew Rushin applied for 475 acres; 1714 he received 
Patent." 
      But this is only one theory about Rushing family origins. I am presenting
it because it is a theory which at least presents documentary evidence. 
However, there are several other legends and theories on the origin of the 
family, the most widespread being that the family is Welsh. There is evidence 
for a James Rushing in New Kent County, Virginia, in 1667, and for a Mathew 
Rushing in Charles City County, Virginia, before 1670. 
      The Rushings who settled along the Beech River in West Tennessee came 
from Anson County, North Carolina. The Rushings in Anson County, North 
Carolina, seem to be very closely related, but working out the relationships 
between them is extremely difficult, particularly because there are so many 
William Rushings. I propose the following hypothesis. The Beech River Rushings 
seem to be descended from two near contemporary William Rushings who lived on 
Brown's Creek (a contemporary John Rushing lived on Thompson's Creek in the 
Chesterfield District of South Carolina.) To attempt to clarify the 
relationships I plotted probable locations of Rushing land grants and deeds. 
When this is done the Rushings fall into two subgoups. One group lived on 
Browns Creek near the present community of White Store, near Black Jack Creek.

                                FIRST GENERATION

This group is associated with the elder and younger Joseph Whites in land grant
and deed records. This group includes two Williams, Richard, Phillip, Soloman, 
and a John. 
      The other group is found 5-10 miles farther south on Thompson's Creek, on
the headwaters of Browns Creek, and on Little Browns Creek. This group includes
two or more Williams, two or more Johns, a Mathew, Robert, Noah, and Abraham. 
They are associated in land grant and deed records with Benjamin Jackson and 
John Jackson. The breakdown is not exactly this simple, however, and some 
adjustments have to be made. Except for living near the southern Rushing group,
Abraham is most closely tied to Richard, Solomon, and others in the northern 
group. 

      He married Elizabeth. Died, circa 1745.       
      According to Virgil W. Huntley of Mystic Connecticut, who has studied 
deed records for the Rushing family in North Carolina, "Mathew Rushing, father 
of William, had a wife, Elizabeth, as she acknowledges the sale of land to 
William Bridges or Bridgers on 15 July, 1718. 
      "Widow Elizabeth Rushing is said to have maried either Edwin or Edward 
Goodson as her 2nd husband. Elizabeth is said to have died about 1743 to 1747 
leaving property to Goodson. A most dramatic will said to be filed by Goodson. 
Where is it?" [Letter to David Donahue, July 19, 1992] 
      Virgil W. Huntly also estimates that Mathew's son William had to have 
been born circa 1710 or earlier because he purchased his father's property in 
1730. Neither of the William Rushings on Brown's Creek seem to be old enough to
be the William, son of Mathew. Either or both might be grandsons. Children:

   2       i.  William[2] Rushing.
   3      ii.  William Rushing.

                                SECOND GENERATION




2.    William[2] Rushing (Mathew, 1). Born, circa 1720.       
      This William Rushing seems to have lived on Brown's Creek near Black Jack
Branch, near the present community of White Store in Anson County. 
      This William Rushing may have been the one who received land grant No. 
6531 dated 19 April 1763 for 150 acres on both sides of Deep Creek--including 
his own improvement. He is mentioned in land grant No. 3092 dated 18 April 1771
to Josiah Herndon, Jr., for 200 Acres in Anson County on Black Jack Branch of 
Brown's Creek, joining William Rushing. 
      This William Rushing is probably a grandson of Mathew Rushing and a first
cousin of the contemporary William Rushing who lived between Little Brown's 
Creek and Thompson's Creek. Most likely name for his father would be William. 

      He married an unknown woman. Children:

   4       i.  Abraham[3] Rushing.
   5      ii.  Phillip Rushing.
   6     iii.  Richard Rushing.
   7      iv.  William Rushing.
           v.  Jacob Rushing. Born, circa 1760. Census: 1790, in Anson Co., NC.
               Census: 1840, in Madison Co., TN. 
                     Jacob Rushing appears in the 1783 petition to move the 
               courthouse for Anson County. He appears in a sequence of 
               signatures which goes Abraham Rushing, Phillip Rushing, Thomas 
               Wright, John Willis, Isaac Jackson, Thomas Meador, Jason Meador,
               Richard Rushing, Robert Rushing, Jacob Rushing. 
                     According to Barbara Crumpton of Duncan Oklahoma, who has 
               researched Jacob to the extent available records allow, in Anson
               County legal transactions Jacob Rushing is associated with 
               either Abraham Rushing or one of the families allied to Abraham 
               Rushing (e.g., Mobberly, Meador). 
                     Records for Madison County do not show if Jacob Rushing 
               died there or moved on and do not indicate what happened to the 
               property Jacob owned there. 
   8      vi.  Solomon Rushing.
         vii.  John Rushing. 
                     John Rushing received Land Grant No. 4686 dated May 24, 
               1773, issued by Josiah Martin, Royal Governor of the Colony of

               North Carolina. The grant was for 150 acres in Anson County on 
               the lower side of Brown's Creek, joining a hollow and William 
               Rushing. 


3.    William[2] Rushing (Mathew, 1). 
      This William Rushing owned land on Thompson's Creek and Little Brown's 
Creek and may have lived in what is now Chesterfield County, South Carolina. 
Most of his descendants seem to have lived in Anson County and are associated 
with the other Rushing group living there. 
      This William Rushing seems to have been the one who received land grant 
No. 495 dated 13 October 1756, on Thompson's Creek. He is listed as William 
Ruskin. This William Rushing also received land grant No. 947 dated 26 May 1757
for 400 acres in Anson County of the S.W. side of Pee Dee river, joining the E.
side of the N. fork of Thompson's Creek and crossing the creek twice. 
      This William Rushing is probably a grandson of Mathew Rushing and 
probably a first cousin of the contemporary William Rushing living on Brown's 
Creek near Black Jack Branch. Most likely name for the father of this William 
Rushing would be John Rushing. 

      He married Mary?. Children:

   9       i.  Robert[3] Rushing.
  10      ii.  Unknown Daughter Rushing.
         iii.  William Rushing. Born, circa 1755. Census: 1790, in Anson Co., 
               NC. Census: 1800, in Anson Co., NC. 
                     This is the William Rushing, Jr., of the 1790 census in 
               Anson County, North Carolina, and the elder of the two William 
               Rushing Juniors in the 1800 census in Anson County. 
                     The following is a deed recorded on page 272 of Anson 
               County Deed Book H: 
                     "To all people to whom these presents shall come I William
               Rushing of the State of North Carolina in the County of Anson, 
               PLANTER, for and in consideration of the love and and good will 
               and affection which I have and do bear towards my son William 
               Rushing of the same state and county have given and grant & by 
               these presents do freely give and grant unto the said William 
               Rushing his heirs executors or administrators all and singular 
               about fifty acres of land taken from my survey of four hundred 
               acres beginning at a black walnut by the fork of the little 
               creek & running near a north course to another line of which 
               (before the signing of these presents) I have delivered him the

          iv.  Noah Rushing. Born, circa 1758. Died, before 1800. Census: 1790,
               in Anson Co., NC. 
                     This Noah Rushing was an adult in 1778 when, with William 
               Rushing Jr. and Benjamin Jackson, he was witness to a deed 
               transferring 200 acres of land from William Rushing to Robert 
               Rushing [Deed Book k, p. 470]. He may have died or moved before 
               1800 as the Noah in 1800 seems to be a younger individual. 
           v.  Rowland Rushing. Census: 1790, in Anson Co., NC.
          vi.  John Rushing. Died, before 1790. He married Sabrina. 
  11     vii.  Daughter (Sarah?) Rushing.
        viii.  Mark Rushing. Born, circa 1760. Census: 1790, in Anson Co., NC. 
                     For me Mark Rushings are the greatest mystery. In Anson 
               Co. the name mark is associated with the family of the William 
               Rushing on Little Brown's Creek and Thompson's Creek. However, 
               in Tennessee Mark Rushings are found in areas where the family 
               of the Revolutionary War veteran Phillip is found. The 
               possibility should be considered that Mark Rushing married one 
               of the daughters of Phillip Rushing. 
          ix.  Mary Rushing. She married Benjamin Jackson.

4.    Abraham[3] Rushing (William, 2). Born, circa 1742. Died, 1805, in Anson 
Co., NC. 
      The birth date for Abraham Rushing is somewhat controversial. Several 
sources use 1730. I have been unable to determine if there is a factual basis 
for this or if this date is based on identifying the wrong Phillip 
(Revolutionary War veteran Phillip) for the son Phillip (probably the Phillip 
I. in the 1800 census) named in Abraham's will. Based on ages of Abraham's 
children other than Phillip, Abraham need not have been born before 1750. Land 
grant records indicate a probably birth date of 1740-1745. 
      Abraham Rushing received land grant No. 6314 dated 15 November 1762 for 
300 acres in Anson County on the North Fork of Thompson's Creek joining above 
John Jackson. 
      Abraham Rushing received Land Grant No. 8814 dated July 25, 1774, and 
issued by Josiah Martin, Royal Governor of the Colony of North Carolina. The 
grant was for 150 acres in Anson County on the branches of Thompson's Creek, 
joining Thomas Creek and Rushing's own survey, between the two prongs of 
Thompson's Creek. 

      He married, first, Mariah Meador, daughter of Jason Meador. Children:

  12       i.  Abraham[4] Rushing.
          ii.  Elizabeth Rushing. Born, before 1775. Census: 1800, in Anson 
               Co., NC. She married William Morgan. 
                     Elizabeth Morgan is mentioned in the will of Abraham 
               Rushing in 1806. It seems most likely that Elizabeth was the 
               wife of William Morgan, the only Morgan in the Anson County 
               census in 1800 and 1810. At least some of the Morgans in Decatur
               and Henderson counties may be descended from this family. 
  13     iii.  Jason Rushing.
          iv.  Sarah Rushing. She married English.
  14       v.  Phillip J. Rushing.
          vi.  Thomas M. Rushing. Born, circa 1783, in NC. Census: 1820, in 
               Bedford Co., TN.
  15     vii.  Peter Rushing.
        viii.  William Rushing. 
                     The identity of William Rushing, son of Abraham, has not 
               been established.

      He married, second, Sarah Watts. 
      



5.    Phillip[3] Rushing (William, 2). Born, circa 1745. Died, after 1840, in 
Perry Co., TN. Birth(2): 1756. Census: 1790, in Anson Co., NC. Census: 1820, in
Perry Co., TN. 
      Two major myths about this Phillip Rushing create difficulties for a 
Rushing family researchers. Myth 1: Burrell (1798-1867) was the son of Phillip.
This is based by looking at one datum point -- that there was a veteran or 
pensioneer named Phillip Rushing in the household of Burrell in 1840 in Perry 
County, Tennessee -- and ignoring a great deal of other information, including 
Phillip's age in the same census. (This is discussed in more detail below.) In 
general, because of the close associations between the families of Burrell and 
Isaac, Burrell and Isaac must have been brothers, but census data will not 
support both to be sons of Phillip. 
      Myth 2: The Revolutionary War veteran Phillip was the son of the Abraham 
Rushing who died in 1805 in Anson County, North Carolina. Phillip could have 
been slightly older than the Abraham who died in 1805 as Phillip needed to have
been born circa 1745 to be father of the Phillip Rushing Jr. in the 1790 
census. Without having to be father of the Revolutionary War veteran Phillip, 
Abraham needs only to have been born about 1750. The myth of Phillip has pushed
the estimated ages of Abraham Rushing and some of Abraham's children back in 
time unnecessarily. For example, I have seen 1750 given as a possible birth 
date for Abraham's daughter Elizabeth Morgan. No one seems to know her 
husband's name. Census data in Anson County, North Carolina and Henderson, 
Perry, and Decatur Counties, Tennessee otherwise indicate that she was the wife
of William Morgan, that she was born circa 1773 or 1774, and that her own 
children were born from circa 1795 to circa 1813. Elizabeth probably was two or
three years older than her husband. Some descendants of Abraham are needlessly 
looking for an earlier marriage for Abraham as Abraham's wife Mariah Meador 
would have too young to be the mother of children born as early as 1750 as the 
wrong dates suggest. The acceptance of this myth seems odd to me because 
Phillip's pension claim names Richard as his brother and Richard is not a name 
of one of Abraham's children. The Philip who appears as Philip I. in 1800, the 
yonger Phillip in 1810, and as Philep J. in 1820 seems a more likely choice as 
son of Abraham. 
      Unfortunately, these myths are contained in an accepted application to 
join the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the DAR itselp seems to be 
distributing the misinformation. 
      In his pension claim in 1834, Phillip Rushing states he had been in 
Tennessee for 18 years. 
      A military marker has been erected for Phillip Rushing at Rushing Grove 
Cemetery in Decatur County. The dates on the marker are 1756-1838. This 
location probably is incorrect. Phillip seems to have still been alive at the 
time of the census in 1840. He is listed in the household of Burrell Rushing. 
Burrell at this time is living south of Rushing Creek, near the Bath Springs 
area surrounded by various Brashers. So it is probable that this was Phillip's 
property and not Burrell's. (Burrell registered land on Turkey Creek near 
Rushing Grove in 1840s, though descendants claim this was the land Burrell

settled in about 1820. Burrell's property adjoined Richard's property to the 
east). A more likely place for Phillip to be buried then would be in an old 
cemetery in the Rushing Creek area (Brigance, Ivey, Mt. Lebanon perhaps) or in 
the Brasher Cemetery. For the sake of argument, a case could be made that 
Phillip and Richard are buried at Campground Cemetery. There is no evidence to 
suggest that Rushing Grove Cemetery is older than the mid 1850s when Henry 
Harrington may have been buried there. 
      The birth date used on the military marker at Rushing Grove Cemetery is 
1756. This is the based on an age of 78 sworn to by witnesses in Phillip 
Rushing's pension claim in 1834. However, in the pension claim Phillip himself 
admits that his memory is failing. While Phillip mentions that there is proof 
of his age in a family bible in the posession of his brother Richard, court 
records never indicate that the bible was produced in court. Whether because of
Phillips failing memory or an arithmetic error by a court clerk, Phillip's age 
in the pension clain seems to be off by 10 years. Census data consistently show
Phillip to be older than born in 1856. As his move from Anson Co. is dated by 
deed to 1815, he had to have been the oldest Phillip in the 1810 census, and by
comparison the oldest Phillip in 1800 (when he and his wife were both 45 or 
older), and in 1790. In the 1790 census Philip Rushing, Jr., is already listed 
as the head of a family and seems to have two children. The Phillip in the 1840
census with Burrell is age 78 (born circa 1762). Either this is a different 
Phillip or Burrell has no idea of Phillip's correct age. The death year 1838 on
the military marker seems to have been taken from Phillip's the pension papers 
and may come from a note from the Treasury indicating that Phillip's pension 
had been paid through that date. There is such a note in the pension papers for
Richard Rushing with the same closing date. Richard Rushing is known to have 
lived until 1841. 
      Phillip Rushing may have outlived all his children. Perry County Circuit 
Court Records in 1838 include a petition by grandson Calvin Lacy to be replaced
as Phillip's guardian. Calvin Lacy was relatively wealthy and did not have any 
children, so he would have been a neutral choice among Phillip's competing 
grandchildren to be Phillip's guardian. If the Phillip with Burrell in 1840 is 
the Revolutionary War veteran, then Burrell most likely is his guardian. 
      Census data for Phillip in 1790 in Anson County show 3 males under 16 and
2 free white females, plus Phillip Jr. in a separate household. Data for 
Phillip in 1800 in Anson County: 22101-00301; note the addition of another 
adult female. I think that the 1790 census is closest to being correct for 
Phillip's family. I think he had at most four sons and perhaps four or five 
daughters, with two or more daughters having married before 1790. In addition 
to White and Lacy, the most likely families for Phillip's daughters, assuming 
that any of their families moved to Decatur County, would be Griffin, Presley, 
and Wright. The age range for Phillip Rushing's children seems to be 1765-1790.
Decatur county Rushing claimants for descent from Phillip often use 1820 Perry 
County census data to show children born circa 1799. Yet a comparison 1790 and 
1800 data seems to show that a married daughter (or, perhaps, a 
daughter-in-law) and family moved into Phillip's household in the interval, and
the same thing may have happened between 1800 and 1810. The young children in 
Phillip's household in 1820 are more likely to be grandchildren than children. 
(Census data -- 1790 Anson County: 13-3; 1800 Anson County: 22101-00301; 1810 
Anson County: 11001-11101; 1820 Perry County: 010101-01001). Phillip's sons 
seems more likely to some of the Rushings in Stewart and Houston Counties, 
Tennessee. It is possible that Phillip was the grandfather of Richard Rushing

in McNairy County in 1850, and it is possible that he was father of one of the 
Marks in Perry County in 1830. 
      Phillip Rushing received Land Grant No. 8510 dated July 23, 1774, and 
issued by Josiah Martin, Royal Governor of the Colony of North Carolina. The 
grant was for 400 acres in Anson County on the southwest side of the Great Pee 
Dee, on Great Brown's Creek, joining a bottom by the creek near the muddy 
spring branch. 
      The following is text of the pension application of Philip Rushing. His 
pension application number was S21458. 
      "Perry County, July Term 1834 -- On this 21st day of July 1834 personally

PHILIP RUSHING a resident of Rushing's Creek in Perry County, State of 
Tennessee, aged 78 years, who being first sworn acording to law doth on his 
oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of act of 
Congress passed June the 7th 1832 that he entered service of the United States 
under the following named officers and served as herein after stated. 
      "This declarent entered the service of the United States under Captain 
John Jackson he declarent being the Ensign of said company in Anson County in 
the State of North Carolina, from thence marched to Gilbert Town N. Carolina, 
from thence to Pleasant Garden at the head of the Catawber, from thence into 
the Indian Nation on the Hiwassee River, from thence to the Valley Towns where 
some of our men were out fowling and Indians came upon them and killed three of
them, one of whose names was Turner he believes; from thence was marched home 
by way of Pleasant garden, declared served his tour the term of three months as
Ensign, he declarent thinks his tour was performed in the latter end of the 
year 1776, but owing to old age he cannot recollect precisily his Major's name 
was Davidson, Col. David Love (or Lane) his Col., and general Rutherford was 
his General. 
      "This declarent again volunteered under Captain Stephen Jackson in the 
year 1777, and was imployed on the frontiers guarding the property of whigs and
their lives from Ruthless hands of the Torys and British. He served this year 
seven months as a volunteer guarding the frontiers--again in the year 1778 he 
volunteered under the same Captain and was imployed on the same service that is
ranging along the frontiers; in these several last tours he dose not recollect 
particularly owing to old age and the consequent loss of memory the events of 
this period of his services as he did not charge his memory with minor events 
but in fact he nearly always was out in the service of his country from the 
year 1776 up to this time which was 1780. 
      "The declarent in the year 1781 entered the service under Capt. Bogan, 
Col. Wade his Colonel; declarent was marched from Anson County N. Carolina to 
Cape Fear where he was attached to Colo. Smith's Regiment and to capt. Smith's 
Company; his declarents own Capt. and Col. having left the army. This tour we 
had an engagement with the Tories on Capefear not far from Wilmington and 
defeated them after which we marched up and attached the British in a large 
Brick house some time not long after this we heard that Cornwallis was defeated
at Little York & went home. This declarent states that on this Tour he served 
two months. He has no documentary evidence by which he can prove his service 
nor does he know of any person except Richard Rushing by whom he can prove the 
same, he hereby relinquishes any claim whatever to a pension or annuity except 
the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency
of any state sworn to and subscribed the day and year above written. (Signed)

Smith's Regiment, but I am now unable to recollect the name of the officers 
except as stated in my original declaration. I am now old and infirm and my 
memory has failed me so much. I cannot recollect the dates of my service. I can
only recollect the places we had a battle or expected to have one and the names
of the officers, but what rout we pursued in each campaign I cannot now 
recollect or the particular time I served in each campaign. I have only a 
recollection of serving my country and being generally in service. Signed:

      He married Hannah. Born, before 1755. Died, after 1815. Children:

  16       i.  Phillip[4] Rushing.
  17      ii.  Hannah Rushing.
         iii.  Elijah Rushing. Born, circa 1780. Census: 1800, in Anson Co., 
               NC. 
                     An Elijah Rushing served as security for Eljiah Lowry, 
               appointed in 1816 as guardian of the minor children of Phillip

                     Another likely son for this Phillip would be the Richard 
               Rushing in Livingston Co., Kentucky in the 1810 census (born 
               1785 or earlier). The possibility that one of Phillip's 
               daughters (born ca. 1777 or earlier) married Mark Rushing should
               be considered. A Burrell Rushing who would have been an adult in
               1808 appears in Anson County, North Carolina, property records. 
               A more speculative possibility for a daughter of Phillip Rushing
               would be the wife (name unknown, born early 1780s) of the Robery
               Ivy who settled on Rushing Creek in Decatur County. 


6.    Richard[3] Rushing (William, 2). Born, 1749, in VA. Died, 1841, in Perry 
Co., TN. Burial in Campground Cem., Decatur Co., TN (unmarked). 
      Richard Rushing received two land grants issued by Josiah Martin, Royal 
Governor of the Colony of North Carolina. The first, No. 3853 dated May 22, 
1772, was for 100 acres in Anson County on a branch on the lower side of 
Brown's Creek, joining the said branch above Wm. Rushing. The second, No. 7487 
dated March 4, 1775, was for 150 acres in Anson County on the lower side of 
Brown's Creek, joining a small branch and Solomon Rushing. 
      Richard Rushing moved to the Beech River area of Perry County (later 
Decatur County) in Tennessee before 1820 and settled on the south side of the 
Beech River. He had extensive land holdings in the 7th and 8th sections of the

8th range along Turkey Creek. He probably is the ancestor of most of the 
Rushings living in Henderson County. 
      The following is a summary of the pension claim of Richard Rushing. It 
was written in a letter dated July 31, 1930, by B. W. Morgan, Acting 
Commissioner of Pensions, to Miss Edna Rushing, Sacramento, California. 
      "You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War
pension claim, [S. or 8.] 21457, that Richard Rushing was born in 1849 in 
Virginia 'on [the] Roanoke'. 
      "While residing in Anson County, North Carolina he served with the North 
Carolina troops, as follows: 
      "In 1776, three months in Captain John Jackson's Company, was in a 
skirmish at Drowning Creek where his brother William was wounded and soon after
died; in 1777, nine months in Captain Stephen Jackson's Company; in 1778, ten 
months in the same company; in 1779, eight months in the same company; in 1780,
six months in the same company. A part of the time he served in Colonel Wade's 
Regiment. 
      "He was in skirmishes on Black river, Bates Bridge, Lynch's Creek, 
Richardson's Creek and Thompson's Creek. 
      "He was allowed pension on his application executed July 21, 1834, at 
which time he was living in Rushing Creek, Perry County, Tennessee, having 
lived there fifteen years. 
      "He stated that his brother Philip served with him most of the time. 
      "There is no reference to wife or children." 
      There is little proof of Richard's family, and the family presented in 
this database is somewhat of a composit. Richard seems to have had at least 
nine sons (including probably David in a separate household) and two daughters 
in the 1800 census of Anson County. There is proof that David, Willis, and Amy 
Boatwright were children of Richard. Dennis and Willis are always said to have 
been brothers, and the elder and younger Richard are in the same household in 
the 1840 census (based on ages children in the 1850 census). This is "Richard's
family." 
      Then there is "Sarah's family." Sarah Rushing appears as age 80 in the 
household of Burrell Rushing, born ca. 1821, from the 1850 census. Her family 
includes Elijah, Isaac, and Burrell (born 1789). Phillip's wife is known from a
deed to have been named Hannah, so Sarah could not have been his wife. 
      Between 1830 and 1840 Elijah Rushing and his wife appear to have died. 
Sarah (listed as Sally) appears as head of a household in the 1840 census; this
probably is Elijah's household, including Burrell (born 1821). This young 
Burrell has money by the mid 1840s when he buys a large amount of land, buys 
slaves, and builds a mansion which is still a local landmark. Where did the 
money come from? The best explaination would that Sarah inherited a larger 
widow's portion of Richard's estate and financed the acquistions of her 
grandson Burrell with whom she had been living for several years. 

      He married, first, Unknown Daughter Rushing (10), before 1780. Children:

  19       i.  Unknown[4] Rushing.
  20      ii.  David Rushing.
  21     iii.  Dennis Rushing.
  29      iv.  Amy Rushing.

      He married, second, Sarah (Sally), before 1790. Born, circa 1770, in

Anson Co., NC. Died, circa 1852, in Decatur Co., TN. Census: 1840, in Perry 
Co., TN. Census: 1850, in Decatur Co., TN. 
      There is a Sarah Rushing living in the household of Burrell Rushing (b. 
ca. 1821) in 1850. In 1840 as Sally she is listed as head of what appears to be
the same household. She probably is the wife of Richard Rushing even though she
is in a separate household in 1840. She would be a second wife of Richard as 
she is not old enough to have been the mother of David Rushing. I would place 
the marriage in the age gap between Dennis and Richard, but this is arbitrary, 
although given her association with Burrell, son of Elijah, this age gap seems 
more appropriate than the later age gap between Willis and D. M. 
      What may have happened is that Elijah (and perhaps his wife) died before 
1840, as Elijah is not in the 1840 census but his children are. Sarah might 
have moved into the household to care for the minor children, while the by now 
very elderly Richard remained in his own household with the family of his son 
Richard. 
      Only three Rushings in Decatur County could ever have been considered 
comparatively wealthy -- Phillip, a slave ovner; Richard, a large land owner; 
and Burrell Rushing born ca. 1821, a plantation and slave owner. The best 
evidence for Sarah as a wife of Richard may be to consider how Burrell Rushing 
became a wealthy plantation owner with a mansion which is still a local 
landmark. All of the other Rushing's in the area including Burrell's brothers 
seem to have been small-scale farmers, tending a hundred or so acres without 
help or with a hand or two. Sarah seems to have moved into Elijah's household 
after Elijah and wife had died, where Sarah is listed as head of household in 
the 1840 census; her household included Burrell. In 1843 Burrell is buying the 
land for his plantation from John Lucky Houston and by 1850 Burrell is a slave 
owner. The money could only have come from Sarah. As Sarah was not wife of 
Phillip (whose wife was named Hannah), the money could only have come from 
Richard's estate. 
      There was action concerning Richard's estate during this period of time, 
as David Rushing's power of attorney in Benton County attests. Also, the 1798 
Burrell is tied up in a land transaction during this period. While one 
descendant claims the 1798 Burrell was registering the land he had settled 
before 1820, the land records themselves seem to indicate that the land was 
being purchased from Richard Rushing or his estate. 
      My conclusion is that Sarah inherited a larger widow's share of Richard 
Rushing's estate, which was sold up. She then let her grandson, with who she 
was living, use the money to finance the plantation. Children:

  22       v.  Richard Rushing.
  23      vi.  Elijah Rushing.
  24     vii.  Willis Rushing.

7.    William[3] Rushing (William, 2). Born, circa 1755. Died, 1776, in 
Drowning Creek, Anson Co., NC. 
      The following sketch of William Rushing appears in the "Rushing Past" 
newsletter dated September 1981.

                                THIRD GENERATION

      "William Rushing was a young man growing up in Anson County in the 1760's
when most of his father's relatives and friends were openly advocating 
disolving all the ties with mother England due to the harsh, unreasonable and 
unjust treatment of the people of the Carolina colony. Most of William's 
friends and neighbors openly supported this open break. Being honorable men, 
the Rushings and their neighbors put their grievance in writing in a petition 
they signed and addressed to then Gov. Tryon. No sooner had these brave men 
delivered their petition than they were labeled rebels and outlaws by the 
English. Several of these men were hung for pursuing American Independence! 
English troops and militia were sent into Anson County to "keep the peace" and 
arrest "rebels" and their sympathisers. Armed Tory militia began military 
operations in the county. Many civilians were killed in these para-military 
operations. William and his neighbors took up arms to protect themselves, their
families and their neighbors from these armed vigilantes. From 1768 to 1776, 
William fought in 19 major engagements with Tory and English troops in North 
and South Carolina. He was wounded on at least one other occasion. Finally, in 
the company of his brothers Richard and Phillip he fought in the battle of 
Drowning Creek in Anson County. He was mortally wounded. His brothers carried 
him to his parents home where he died. Owing to the circumstances of his death,
his family could not give William a public funeral since to do so would be to 
invite the arrest of his family as "rebels" and harsh reprisals from the 
Tories. As with other patriots who were killed before the United States 
declared its Independence, William was buried in a secluded spot now lost in 
time." 
      This sketch seems to confuse the William who was killed at Drowning Creek
other Williams in the same area. The William Rushing who died at Drowning Creek
may have been the youngest son of his father and far too young to have been 
caught up in the Regulator movement. Nor is there any evidence that this 
William's family was in any way at outs with the colonial government as they 
received numerous land grants issued by the Royal Governor during the 1770s. 
      This seems to have been the William Rushing who received Land Grant No. 
8509 dated July 23, 1774, issued by Josiah Martin, Royal Governor of the Colony
of North Carolina. The grant was for 150 acres in Anson County, on the 
southwest side of the Pee Dee River, joining a hill near Rushing Creek and near
Talton's Creek, which is a branch of Thompson's Creek. 

      He married Unknown. Children:

           i.  William[4] Rushing. Born, circa 1775. Census: 1800, in Anson 
               Co., NC. 
                     This is the younger of the two William Rushing Juniors 
               listed in the 1800 census in Anson County, North Carolina. 


8.    Solomon[3] Rushing (William, 2). Died, 1811, in Anson Co., NC. 
      Solomon Rushing received Land Grant No. 4116 issued January 22, 1773 by 
Josiah Martin, Royal Governor of the Colony of North Carolina. The grant was 
for 200 acres on the southwest side of the Pee Dee River, joining the bank of a
small drain on the north side of Richard Rushing branch on Brown's Creek. This 
land probably just north of the present crossroads community of White Store. 
      Solomon's will specifically names daughters Mary Ann and Susanny. It also
clearly indicates that he has other children. Paul Rushing and Stephen Rushing,

executors of his estate, and John Rushing and Mathew Rushing, the witnesses to 
the will, probably are Solomon's sons. Some transactions of Paul and Stephen 
Rushing in regard to their father's estate are witnessed by another Solomon 
Rushing. 

      He married Elizabeth. Children:

           i.  Mathew[4] Rushing. Census: 1790, in Anson Co., NC. 
                     This Mathew Rushing may have moved to Alabama.

         iii.  Susanna Rushing.
          iv.  Stephen Rushing. 
                     This probably is the Stephen Rushing whose family moved to
               Sumpter Co., Alabama.

               in Anderson Co., TX. 
                     Paul Rushing lived on Black Jack Creek. He may have left 
               Anson County circa 1820 as noted by the following deed in the 
               Anson County deed books: 
                     "THIS INDENTURE made the 15th. day of January in the year

      Robert Rushing received Land Grant No. 4197 issued January 22, 1773, by 
Josiah Martin, Royal Governor of the Colony of North Carolina. The grant was 
for 150 acres in Anson County on the lower side of Little Brown Breek, joining 
William's line, north of Haw Branch and a point near Johnston's line. 
      In 1778 Robert Rushing received land on Brown's Creek from William 
Rushing (Anson County Deed Book K, p. 470) "...the said William Rushing Rushing
for diverse good causes and considerations him thereunto moving but more 
especially for and in consideration of the natural love and affection he

12.   Abraham[4] Rushing (Abraham, 4). Born, 1772. Died, 1848, in Humphreys 
Co., TN. Census: 1820, in Rutherford Co., TN. 
      The following information is from a sketch of Abraham Rushing 1772-1848 
by Bill Medling which appears in "Rushing Past," III(2), June 1981. 
      "We know that Abraham lived in Anson Co., N.C., and that he was born in 
1772, came to Tenn. in or before 1810. On 4 Dec., 1810, he and his wife, Celia 
(Cealy) joined Garrison Fork Baptist Church by letter. . . . Garrison Fork 
Church is near Beech Grove. 
      "In 1813, Sister Ceiley Rushing was found 'faulty' and excluded from the 
church. She and Abraham were later divorced. In 1815, Abraham Rushing was also 
excluded from the church for marrying a 2nd wife & his first wife was still 
living. New we learn from Cuz Betty Riley whom I obtained many of these facts, 
that Abraham bought land in Stewart Co. in 1832, moved to that county in 1834, 
being accompanied by an Abel Rushing." 
      Abraham lived in White Oak Creek section of Stewart County which was 
later transferred back to Humphreys County. His will was probated and his 
estate was settled in Humphreys County. 
      Abraham is the ancestor of many Rushings in the White Oak Creek section 
of Hemphreys County, Tennessee. Through his son John, he also is ancestor of 
the Rushings living around Cannon County, Tennessee. 

      He married, first, Celia. Divorce, circa 1814. Children:

           i.  John[5] Rushing. Born, 3 Feb 1792, in Anson Co., NC. Died, 17 
               Aug 1857, in Cannon Co., TN. Census: 1850, in Bedford Co., TN. 
               Occupation: Minister. He married Sarah Keele, daughter of 
               Richard Keele and Lydia Richmond, 1809, in Giles Co., TN. 
                     Patrick Rushing died of pneumonia. 
          ii.  Nancy Rushing. Born, circa 1795, in Anson Co., NC. Census: 1850,
               in Humphreys Co., TN. She married Unknown Dunlap.
         iii.  Joel Rushing. Born, circa 1796, in Anson Co., NC. Census: 1850, 
               in Anson Co., TN. 
                     This Joel is in Francis Thomas' list of children of 
               Abraham Rushing Jr. However, this Joel Rushing's age and 
               location in Anson Co., TN, seem to be in conflict with Abraham 
               Rushing Jr.'s move to Tennessee by 1810.

               Humphreys Co., TN. He married Mahala. 
                     Rowland B. Rushing was security for Elizabeth Rushing as 
               Executrix of the will of Abraham Rushing. 
         vii.  Willis Rushing. Born, before 1820. Died, circa 1846. Census: 
               1840, in Humphreys Co., TN. 
                     This Willis Rushing is age 20-30 in the 1840 census and 
               seems to have a wife and one son under 5. He died befor 1846 and
               Abraham Rushing received letters of administration of his estate
               which made provisions for his widow and family. He had a 
               daughter Eliza A. Rushing (Elizabeth Crosswell was appointer her
               guardian). 
        viii.  David Rushing. Born, circa 1826. Died, before 1870. Census in 
               Humphreys Co., TN. He married Selena, before 1850.      
                     David is assigned here as son of Abraham Rushing based 
               primarily on proximity (two households) to R. B. Rushing, a 
               known son of Abraham, in the 1850 census. 
          ix.  Caroline Rushing. Born, circa 1830.

14.   Phillip J.[4] Rushing (Abraham, 4). Born, circa 1778. Census: 1820, in 
Anson Co., NC. 
      This is the Philip I. Rushing in 1800 in Anson County, the younger Philip
Rushing in 1820, and Philep J. Rushing in 1820. In 1817, Peniah and Phillip J. 
Rushing sign as heirs in the selling of the estate of Thomas Gaddy, Sr., to Wm.
Dismukes (Anson County Deed Book S, p. 297). This is the Phillip Rushing, age 
73, in Stewart Co., TN, in the 1850 census. 

      He married Peniah Gaddy. Children:

           i.  Roland[5] Rushing. Born, 17 Feb 1806, in Anson Co., NC. Died, 23
               May 1867. Occupation: Tax Collector. He married Zilpha Rushing. 
                     Roland Rushing is listed as an early settler of Benton 
               County. The county's quarterly court minutes, Book A., p. 304, 
               dated December 1847, relate that he had been serving as tax 
               collector, but had become somewhat "deranged in mind" and his 
               accounts were confused and his securities would have to make 
               good his fiscal deficiencies. 
                     There is some confusion about his ancestry. The best fit 
               to me is to place Roland as a son of the Phillip Rushing who 
               died in 1814. This Phillip probably was the son of the 
               Revolutionary War veteran Phillip. The actual family claim is 
               that Roland was the son of Phillip J. Rushing, who served in the
               Continental Line from Anson County with his brother Richard 
               during the Revolutionary War. There are two problems with this 
               claim -- Phillip J. Rushing (census Anson County 1820) probably 
               was the son Phillip named in Abraham Rushing's will in 1805 and 
               Roland is far too young to be a son of Revolutionary War veteran
               Phillip whose wife was 45 or older in 1800. Abraham Rushing, 
               Jr., who settled in the Stewart County area, also seems to have 
               had a son named Roland. 


15.   Peter[4] Rushing (Abraham, 4). Born, circa 1785. Census: 1820, in Bedford
Co., TN. Census: 1840, in Calloway Co., KY. 
      The family of Peter is based on tentative conclusions and speculations of
descendant Lee Rushing of Port Charles, Florida, outlined in a letter dated 
January 26, 1993, to David Donahue, and on the research of Mrs. Georgia Maxwell
Cox, Metropolis, Illinois. Peter seems to have six sons, two daughters, and a 
wife in the 1820 census. Census data in 1830 in Bedford Co., Tennessee: 
21113001-1101201. 

      He married Hester Frizzell. Born, 23 Dec 1785, in Anson Co., TN. Died, 
before 1840. Children:

16.   Phillip[4] Rushing (Phillip, 5). Born, circa 1768, in Anson Co., NC. 
Died, circa 1814, in Stewart Co., TN. Resided: after 1808, in Stewart Co., TN. 
Census: 1790, in Anson Co., NC. Census: 1800, in Anson Co., NC. 
      By comparing the three Philip/Phillip Rushings in Anson County from 1790 
to 1820, especially be comparing their ages and the ages of their children, it 
seems most likely that the Philip Rushing Jr. in the census in 1790 must have 
been the Phillip to purchase land in Stewart County, Tennessee, in 1812. Census
date, Anson County, 1800: 5201-101. 
      This Phillip was in Houston County in 1808 when he lived on Guices Creek 
and served in captain Wardens Co. of the militia. 
      In 1814 Isaac Lanier and later John Bailey were administrators of the 
estate. An inventory for the estate was returned May 2, 1814. 
      In 1816 the court appointed Elijah Lowry as guardian of the ophan 
children of Phillip Rushing deceased, naming Reuben, Larkin, Betsy, Anna, and 
Jemima. Elijah Rushing and Lewis Brewer were securities to the giardianship. 
      In February 1818 40 acres of Phillip's estate were conveyed to Mark 
Cooper. 

      He married Jemima. Children:

  40       i.  Larkin[5] Rushing.
          ii.  Betsy Rushing. Born, after 1798.       
         iii.  Anna Rushing. Born, after 1798.       
          iv.  Jemima Rushing. Born, after 1798.       
           v.  Reuben Rushing. Born, after 1798.       


17.   Hannah[4] Rushing (Phillip, 5). Born, after 1770. Census: 1830, in Perry 
Co., TN. 
      It is known that Hannah, the wife of Henry White, was a Rushing. She is

assigned here as a daughter of Phillip primarily because Calvin Lacy, Phillip's
guardian in 1838, is associated in 1830 census records with the White family. 
Also, Phillip Rushing's land holdings in Anson County were adjacent to those of
Joseph White. 

      She married Henry White, son of Joseph White and Sarah Headley. Born, 
circa 1765, in Anson Co., NC. Died, after 1830, in Perry Co., TN. Census: 1830,
in Perry Co., TN. 
      Henry White probably had a large number of children. There are many white
households on the page with Henry's in the 1830 census of Perry County. The 
Whites in the fourth district of Decatur County in 1850 may all be his 
descendants. Children:

  41       i.  Daniel[5] White.
  42      ii.  Robert White.
  43     iii.  Reuben R. White.
  44      iv.  Nancy White.
  45       v.  Rebecca White.
  46      vi.  Isaac L. White.
  47     vii.  Henry H. White.
        viii.  William H. White. Born, circa 1812, in Anson Co., NC. Resided: 
               after 1845, in TX.
          ix.  Other Children. 
                     In "A Line of Whites," S. D. White, Sr., lists as children
               of Henry White and Hannah Rushing sons Elijah (1801) and Burrell
               W. and daughters Sally and Mary Ann. Albert White (1815), listed
               by S. D. White, Sr., as son of Henry White is treated in this 
               database as a son of Reuben White. 


18.   Millie[4] Rushing (Phillip, 5). Born, circa 1785.       

      She married Jesse Lacy, son of Thomas Lacy and Kesiah Griffith in Anson 
Co., NC. Born, 20 Mar 1770, in Anson Co., NC. Died, before 1830, in Perry Co., 
TN. Census: 1820, in Perry Co., TN. 
      "...Jessie Lacy married Millie Rushing.... I will say something about 
uncle Jessie Lacy's family. He moved from Anson County to Decatur County, 
Tennessee, about the year 1814. His children were mainly born in North 
Carolina; he had three sons, Calvin, Herman [Hiram], and William Carroll; the 
daughters, Nancy, Armia, and Elizabeth; if there were more daughters I do not 
remember them. Calvin Lacy was married in Decatur County, Tennessee, to Nancy 
Stephens, they had no children, a good man, did well, made money, died at the 
age of about sixty-eight years at Booneville, Mississippi. Herman [Hiram], a 
good man, filled many different offices in Decatur County. William Carroll Lacy
moved to Mississippi, where he lived in Lee County, a good worthy citizen, had 
a respectable family, now all grown. I neglected to say that Herman Lacy and 
wife reared a family of sons and daughters, of whom I know very little, but 
presume from their father that they are respectable people. Uncle Jessie's 
daughters all married in Decatur County, Tennessee, where they were reared. 
      "Uncle Jessie Lacy died in Decatur County, Tennessee, about 1820. He was 
supposed to have died in consequence of his being very fleshy, died of 
suffocation." [Transcription of letter written about 1890 by Stephen L. Ross,

RUSHING FAMILY (DECATUR AND HENDERSON COS., TN)       15 NOV 1997            24


                                FOURTH GENERATION

Census: 1830, in Perry Co., TN. Census: 1840, in Perry Co., TN. 
      I have this assigned the family of Sarah Rushing in the 1850 census of 
Decatur Co., TN, to the family of Richard Rushing based on the name Richard. 
Asa Rushing on p. 171 of the 1840 census of in Perry Co., TN, would seem to be 
the best fit based on the females in the household. (The Asa Rushing on p. 180 
is the Asa Rushing 1801-1851 buried at New Hope Cemetery in Decatur Co.) The 
fit on ages for the household on the p. 171 Asa Rushing is not good, but it is 
better than the fit for other Rushings in the 1840 census. The problem is that 
the Asa on p. 171 in 1840 might be the Asa on p. 234 in the 1830 census. All 
Rushings in the 1830 census of Perry Co., TN, on p. 234 may comprise the family
of Mark Rushing; none except possibly Asa are in Perry Co. in 1840. The 
alternatives among Rushings in Perry Co. in 1840 are D. M./Daniel Rushing and 
Jacob Rushing. After returning to Tennessee, the family of David Thomas Rushing
settled in the eastern Henderson Co. area near other descendants of Richard.

      "David Rushing was born in c. 1785 in North Carolina. He immigrated to 
Dickson Co., Tennessee where he engaged in farming. During the War of 1812, 
David Rushing . . . joined Capt. Michael Molton's Troop of West Tennessee 
Cavalry under the command of Col. John Coffee. In c. 1835, David Rushing . . . 
[and family] left Tennessee and settled on Big Piney Creek, Martin Township, 
Pope County, Arkansas. Through the years the settlement became known as the 
'Rushing Community.' Located northwest of Dover, the 'Rushing Church' still 
stands having been built in 1899. . . . David Rushing died c. 1845 and is 
buried in the 'old abandoned cemetery' located northwest of the present day 
'Rushing Cemetery.' The cemetery is much grown up with large trees and

25.   D. M. (Daniel??)[4] Rushing (Richard, 6). Born, circa 1795. Died, before 
1850. Census: 1840, in Perry Co., TN. 
      It was difficult to decide whether to place Daniel as a son of Richard or
Phillip. Daniel has one of the strongest cases for a tie to Phillip. Perry 
County deeds show that Phillip made Daniel a gift of a slave. The deed mentions
Phillip's "affection" for Daniel, a term often used in property transfers to 
children. My ultimate decision to include Daniel with Richard is that Daniel 
was sued by Phillip's estate to return the slave. Census data for D. M. 
Rushing, 1840, Perry County: 1120001-00101. 

      He married an unknown woman. Children:

  60      ii.  James Perry Rushing.
  61     iii.  Carroll Rushing.


26.   Burrell[4] Rushing (Richard, 6). Born, circa 1798, in Anson Co., NC. 
Died, 5 May 1867, in Decatur Co., TN. Burial in Rushing Grove C., Decatur Co., 
TN (fieldstone). 
      Burrell gave about 10 acres of land to be used as part of the site for 
the town of Decaturville, Tennessee. 
      This Burrell Rushing is often mistaken for the son of Revolutionary War 
veteran Phillip Rushing because a pensioner named Phillip Rushing is listed in 
Burrell's household in the 1840 census of Perry County. However, Burrell cannot
be a son of Phillip and probably cannot be a grandson either. In 1790 Phillip 
Rushing had a son Phillip Rushing Jr. who had his own household and children, 
so the the most likely range of ages for Phillip's children would be 1770-1790.
Burrell may be too young. In 1800 Phillip's wife is identified as 45 and over 
so is not likely to be mother of Burrell. (This is especially so when one also 
must consider the younger Isaac Rushing as a brother of Burrell.) Burrell is 
associated with Richard in most census records. In 1820 Richard, Phillip, and 
Burrell live adjacent to one another in Perry County. In 1830 Richard and 
Burrell are only three households apart, but Phillip is not listed. Phillip had
a guardian in his old age, as shown in the 1838 Perry County Circuit Court 
record where Calvin Lacy is petitioning to be replace as Phillip's guardian. It
seems unlikely that Burrell was more than replacement guardian of his Phillip, 
who probably was his uncle. Burrell certainly did not know the correct age for 
Phillip to tell the census taker in 1840. Burrell in 1840 is living in the 
southern part of Decatur County, which is probably where Phillip lived, but it 
is away from Richard and from where Burrell lived in 1830. In 1842, probably 
after Phillip's death, Burrell buys land from the younger Richard and the 
estate of the elder Richard and moves back to the Turkey Creek area where the 
other Rushings lived. 

      He married Mary Elizabeth Rhodes. Born, circa 1806. Burial in Rushing 
Grove C., Decatur Co., TN (fieldstone). Census: 1870, in Decatur Co., TN.

Children:

  62       i.  Elizabeth[5] Rushing.
          ii.  Caswell Rushing. Born, circa 1828, in TN. Census: 1850, in 
               Navarro Co., TX. Census: 1860, in Navarro Co., TX. He married 
               Eleanor (Elly) Ann White, 27 May 1851, in Navarro Co., TX. 
                     Including Caswell Rushing as a son of Burrell Rushing is 
               arbitrary. In the 1860 census Caswell Rushing is listed between 
               the households of William Veal and Calvin Rushing (who is known 
               to be a son of the younger Richard Rushing). He fits nicely into
               an age gap in the children of Burrell Rushing. The alternative 
               would be for him to be a son of the younger Richard Rushing. 
                     The following sketch appears in "Old Northwest Texas, 
               Volume I-B, Navarro County 1846-1860":

                     Phillip Rushing enlisted in Company E, 27th Tennessee 
               Infantry, on August 18, 1861, at Trenton, Tennessee. He served 
               in a company commanded by Captain G. Herns. Family tradition 
               says that he died at the Battle of Shilo and probably is buried 
               in one of the Confederate burial trenches there. However, his 
               company's muster roll dated August 31, 1862, notes that he died 
               July 8, 1862, about three months after Shilo.

      Isaac is one of the more interesting of the early Rushings. He appears 
frequently in the early Perry County court records, often in scrapes (assault 
and battery, assault to commit murder). Did he leave Perry County because

things were getting too hot? An oral tradition among descendants of Morning 
Rushing Tolley is that Isaac abandoned his family. This probably is not 
correct. Other records show that Isaac's Louisiana family and his Decatur 
County relatives remained in contact with one another until the time of the 
Civil War. 
      The family of Issac Rushing is outlined in the probate records of 
Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana. A document recording the division of the 
proceeds of the sale of Isaac's estate names all of Isaac's children and all 
the children of Isaac's two wives. 

      He married, first, Rebecca Saint, daughter of Isham Saint and Mary. Born,
circa 1800. Died, circa 1839. Children:

  71       i.  Burrell[5] Rushing.

Apr 1853, in Natchitoches Par, LA. Census: 1850, in Bienville Par., LA. 
Children:

               Cem., Rock Island, IL. Census: 1850, in Bienville Par., LA. 
                     Martin Van Buren Rushing was a Private in Company H of the
               16th Louisiana Infantry. He enlisted September 29, 1861, at Camp
               Moore, Louisiana. On November 25, 1863, he had special duty at 
               Bridgeport, Alabama. He was captured at the Battle of Missionary
               Ridge.

                     Andrew J. Rushing was a Private in Company I, 16th 
               Louisiana Infantry. He enlisted September 29, 1861 at Camp 
               Moore, Louisiana. He had special duty at Bridgeport, Alabama. He
               was wounded at the Battle of Chickamauga, September 20, 1863. He
               was captured at Nashville, Tennessee. From there he was 
               transferred to a military prison at Louisville, Kentucky, then 
               to another at Camp Chase, Ohio. He was paroled June 18, 1865, in

28.   Mary J. (Rushing?) [4] (Richard, 6). Born, circa 1800. Died, after 1850. 
Census: 1850, in Decatur Co., TN. 
      I cannot prove this but Mary J., first wife of Morris Veal, may have been
a sister to Burrell Rushing. Burrell Rushing and Morris Veal have a long-time 
association in Perry County and Decatur County court records which begins long 
before Morris Veal married Burrell's daughter Nancy Ellen, then a widow of 
Henry Harrington. Morris Veal's brother Thomas lived adjacent to Richard 
Rushing in 1840. The alternative possibility is that Morris Veal's mother was a
sister of the elder Richard Rushing. Mary Veal probably is buried at Campground
Cemetery, Decatur Co., TN. 

      She married Morris Veal, son of Dempsey Veal. Born, circa 1806. Died, 5 
Sep 1894, in Decatur Co., TN. Burial in Campground Cem., Decatur Co., TN. 
Occupation: Farmer. Children:

           i.  Sarah A.[5] Veal. Born, circa 1837, in TN. Census: 1850, in

Thomas is the same Thomas as the son of Amy, then the Boatwrights who lived in 
Henderson and Decatur Counties probably are descendants of Richard Rushing. 
There are White and Hill descendants of W. H. Boatwright in the Concord

      Virgil W. Huntley of Mystic, Connecticut, who has done much of the 
research on this branch of the Rushing family, believes that David Rushing was 
married twice, first to a Rebecca who is named on a deed in Anson County Deed 
Book N&O, p. 152, dated 13 October 1807. Nancy would be David's second wife. It
is difficult to look at the matching markers for Calvin Rushing (b. 1804) and 
Nancy Rushing at Campground Cemetery, with Calvin at Nancy's foot, and doubt 
that Nancy was Calvin's mother. However, based on Mr. Huntley's information, 
Nancy would be mother only of William Gilbert and Jane. Children:

County. In 1830 Henry Hendrix (spelled Hendrick) resides in the household 
adjacent to that of Asa Rushing. Nancy's middle name is known from the 
application of W. H. H. Rushing for a state pension for Confederate Army 
veterans. However, W. H. H. Rushing's handwriting is not easily read and 
Nancy's middle name has been read variously as Graves, Graces, and Grace. 
      Following the death of Asa Rushing, Nancy and some of her children moved 
to Shelby County, Texas. Nancy died there in 1875. Children:

Dec 1889, in Garrett Com., Decatur Co., TN. Burial in New Hope Cem., Decatur 
Co., TN. Occupation: Farmer/Preacher. 
      Joel Rushing was among the last of the Rushings to move from Anson 
County, North Carolina, to Decatur County, Tennessee. He seems to have arrived 
in the Decatur County, Tennessee, area between 1845 and 1848. The census of 
1850 shows him owning 500 acres in Decatur County, and he was granted an 
additional 160 acres in 1852. He was a charter member of the Agricultural Wheel
(farmer's union) Liberty Wheel. 
      The following stories about Joel Rushing were passed down among Moore 
family descendants of Leonadus Rushing, who called Joel "uncle." Joel Rushing 
was a lay preacher and a farmer in the Garrett community of Decatur County. If 
Joel Rushing had to preach a sermon on a Sunday he practiced while he plowed 
his field. He would be preaching hell and damnation to his mule while he 
practiced. Leonadus would hear him in the field and would yell out "Uncle Joel,
what are you preaching on this Sunday?" That mule must have really known the 
Bible. Joel Rushing not only was called upon to preach sermons at various 
churches, but also was called upon to conduct funeral services. One time he was
called upon to conduct a funeral in Linden. He started early in the morning for
Perryville to take the ferry across the Tennessee River. Leonadus Rushing met 
Joel along the road and asked Joel where he was going. Leonadus asked Joel if 
he had the price to pay for the ferry ride. Joel told Leonadus that he had 
enough money to go one way. Leonadus thought this over a minute and then asked 
"Uncle Joel, how are you going to get back?" Joel answered that the Lord would

my perfect mind do make and publish my last will in manner and form as follows,
to wit. 
      "I give unto my beloved wife Lucy Rushing one cow and calf and one sow 
and pigs and a child's part with the rest of my children: except my land I give
that to my children according according to a marriage contract between me and 
her before we were married as may be seen by reference to that said contract. 
And I further give and bequeath to my son William T. Rushing the tract of land 
on which he now lives. . . . [description of bounds follows] "My will further 
is that all my property not herein named shall be sold on one year credit and 
equally divided among all my children except my land and that on one and two 
years and one third of the land to be paid down the balance in two payments and
enough to pay all my just debts if any, and my burying expenses and enough to 
buy tomb stones to put up at my grave. 
      "And my will is that my daughter's part to wit Elizer Veal part be paid 
over to her in her own hands as I consider she is more competent to use it for 
the good of the family than he is. [reference to Henry Veal] 
      "My will is that my son Green B. Rushing and L. P. Moore attend to and 
wind up my estate according to this my last will and testament in witness 
whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this January the twenty second day
one thousand eight hundred and eighty. Joel Rushing (seal). Test: Hosea

      He married, first, Zelphy, 18 Dec 1830, in Anson Co., NC. Born, 17 Sep

                     John G. Rushing enlisted in the Union Army at LaGrange, 
               Tennessee, on May 10, 1863, in Company G, 7th Tennessee Cavalry.
               He was taken prisoner at either Jack's Creek, Tennessee, on June
               19, 1863, or at Pinson, Tennessee, on June 20, 1863. He was 
               confined at Richmond, Virginia, on July 9, 1863, paroled at City
               Point, Virginia, July 14, 1863, and sent to Camp Chase, Ohio, on
               July 17, 1863. His Muster Roll notes him present at the post 
               hospital at Camp Chase from April 30, 1864 to December 31, 1864.
               He died at the post hospital on February 22, 1865, of 
               "inflamation of the bowel," which seems to indicate that he had 
               received an abdominal wound.

      This is an hypothesis without proof. Rebecca, wife of Abraham Harrell, 
probably was the daughter of Henry White. In the 1830 census of Perry County, 
Tennessee. Abraham Harrell appears two households away from Henry White and 
adjacent to Reuben White. This would also be consistent with the close 
associations of Harrells and Whites with Rushings in the 1790 census of Anson 
County, North Carolina; the use of the name Reuben in descendant lines; and the
choice of George W. Harrell as court-appointed guardian of the children of 
Albert White and Martha Rushing. 

      She married Abraham Harrell, circa 1817. Born, 24 Jul 1793, in NC. Died, 
27 Jul 1877. Burial in Brigance Cem., Decatur Co., TN. Occupation: Farmer. 
      Abraham Harrell may be the son of Mills Harrell whose undated will in 
Anson County, NC, lists sons Abraham, Isham, David, and Isaac; heirs of Josiah 
Harrell; and daughters Nancy, Horn, Rody, and Clara. 
      In 1870 Abraham harrell is living in the household of John H. Briggance.

46.   Isaac L.[5] White. Born, circa 1801, in VA. Census: 1850, in Decatur Co.,
TN. Census: 1860, in Decatur Co., TN. Occupation: Farmer. 
      J. D. White, Sr., in his "A Line of Whites," does not include Isaac among
the children of Henry White and Hannah Rushing. This connection is arbitrary 
but is supported somewhat in that Isaac's descendants use Concord Cemetery as 
do the other descendants of Henry White. 
      In his "History of Scotts Hill, Tennessee" Gordon Turner states the 
burial place of William D. Johnston to be the White Cemetery in Dunbar. This

                     I have never been sure if there were two daughters one 
               named Eliza and one named Elizabeth in the household of William 
               Rushing in 1850 or if this was some sort of census taker error. 
               I am assuming that Elizabeth Ellender was the Elizabeth age 12 
               in the 1850 census rather than the Eliza age 13.

57.   Burrell[5] Rushing (Elijah, 23). Born, circa 1821, in AL. Died, circa 
1864. Burial in Tolley Cem.?, Decatur Co., TN. 
      The house lived in by Burrell Rushing later came to be known as the 
Townsend House. The following is from Lillye Younger's "History of Decatur 
County." 
      "Townsend House, an Ante-Bellum house in Parsons has an interesting 
history despite the fact it is still a home. 
      "It is a picturesque colonial house, perched on a hill, overlooking a 
crest of fertile farm land and green pastures with cattle grazing lands, about 
one mile east of Parsons on the old Perryville road. 
      "It was formerly a two-story log house, chinked with mud, which was built
during the 1830's. . . . It was built with an open hall through the center of 
the house, which was called a 'dog trot' back then. . . . 
      "The house was sold to Burl [sic.] Rushing in 1844. . . . Some years 
later he married Sarah Houston and they lived here. During the civil war days 
"Aunt Sarah" as she was called, sat on the front porch all day during the 
battle of Shilo and could hear the roar of the cannons from the battles, a 
distance of 50 miles. Many years later she entertained her grandchildren with 
accounts of this incident. 
      "During the war the guerillas entered the couple's home in search of gold
and strung up her husband in an effort to get him to tell where the gold was 
hidden. Each time they tightened the rope, he refused. During the episode the 
Confederate soldiers came by and the guerillas fled. Mrs. Rushing released her 
husband who was strung up over the spot where the gold was buried.

      "Under the living room floor of the house was a hideout, which could be 
reached by a secret trap door to the floor." 
      While the story above places the blame on Union raiders, in actuality it 
probably was a crime of a local band of outlaws. The tactic is the same as used
by a local outlaw, Lem Bussell (later a preacher), against the Myracle family. 
      The house later passed to Sarah's second husband, Rennie Raines, and to 
his son Lennie Rains. It passed out of the family by sale in 1918. The auction 
at which it was sold was a major event remembered for years by many people in 
the community.

Parsons writes: "Believe G. B. Davis along with some of his children are buried
with him on property owned by him or his heirs in the 1850s, a half mile east 
S.E. of where Mt. Zion church and cemetery are located today. I remember 
hearing my grandfather Phillip Rushing say many years ago that there was a 
family by the name of Davis that lived a few hundred yards across the ridge 
from where his father John Wesley grew up. There are four or five graves there 
beside an old road. Believe this is the place where G. B. & Lavenia along with 
their family including Thomas A. Savage lived at in the 1850s." Children:

Rushing Grove C., Decatur Co., TN. 
      The following story has been passed down in the Rushing family. When 
Sarah died a widow in 1917 she had a white English bulldog who watched as she 
was lowered into the grave. When the people left and went home no one paid any 
attention to the dog. It was not until the next morning that the dog was 
missed. Someone went by the cemetery and found that the dog lay dead by Sarah 
Ann's grave. 
      The following is the will of Sarah Ann Rushing: "State of Tennessee, 
Decatur County

               Tennessee Cemetery Inscriptions" as the Powers Cemetery. The

               absent without leave and notes that he was found at his home. 
               This is supported by a family story. Patrick Chester, a grandson
               of Rebecca Ann (Lasiter) Malone, says that when he was young his
               grandmother told him that she last saw her brother when C.S.A. 
               authorities came to her father's house to find her brother. Her

an expert in hewing logs that were used extensively in the structures of homes,
schools, and churches. One of these was the old Mt. Tabor school about two 
miles south of Parsons. He loved to dance and had the reputation of being one 
of the best dancers in Decatur County. He professed faith in Christ and joined

83.   Jemima M.[5] Rushing (David, 30). Born, 15 Aug 1806. Died, 10 Sep 1840. 
Burial in Houston Cem., Beacon Road, Decatur Co., TN. 
      The compilers of the Decatur County cemetery book issued by United 
Daughters of the Confederacy have confused the Robert Lowry listed on her 
tombstone as her husband with the Robert Lowry who lived in the Liberty 
community. This, plus the fact that the graves of Jemimah and her child lie 
outside a cemetery wall, led the compilers to suggest that Jemimah was black. 
This is not the case. What happened is that what is called the Houston Cemetery
is really two cemeteries. The walled section is a Young family cemetery 
established beside a much older cemetery where Jemima (Rushing) Lowry was 
buried. Jemima's marker probably was erected in the 1870s. 

      She married Robert Lowry. Born, circa 1806. Occupation: Merchant?. 
Children:

           i.  Robert[6] Lowry. Born, 10 Mar 1830, in Chesterfield Co., SC. 
               Died, 19 Jan 1910, in Jackson, Hinds Co., MS. Burial in Brandon,
               Rankin Co., MS. Occupation: Lawyer/Governor. 
                     "Lowry, Robert (Mar. 10, 1830-Jan. 19, 1910), lawyer, 
               Confederate soldier, governor of Mississippi, was born in the 
               Chesterfield District, S.C., the son of Robert and Jemimah 
               (Rushing) Lowry, both of Scotch-Irish extraction. The family 
               moved to Tennessee about 1833 and to Tishmingo County, Miss., in
               1840. Robert's educational advantages were limited. In 1846 he 
               went to Raleigh, Miss., to live with his uncle, Judge James 
               Lowry, with whom he engaged in merchantile enterprises first at 
               Raleigh and later at Brandon. On Sept. 9, 1849, he married Maria
               M. Gammage, of Jasper County, Miss. From about 1854 to 1859 he 
               was in Arkansas, during which period he read law. Upon his 
               return to Mississippi he practiced law as partner of Judge A. G.
               Mayers. 
                     "When the Civil War began he enlisted as a private in the 
               Rankin Grays, but in August 1861 was elected a major of the 6th 
               Mississippi Regiment, which was being organized at Grenada. He 
               was twice wounded at the battle of Shilo and in 1862 was 
               commissioned colonel. He served with Gen. Joseph E. Johnston 
               during the Vicksburg campaign. On the death of his superior 
               officer, Brigadier-General John Adams, he was placed in command 
               of the brigade and was commissioned brigadier-general, Feb. 4, 
               1865; he was with Gen. Joseph E. Johnston when he surrendered to
               Sherman on Apr. 26, 1865.

                     "Returning to Mississippi, he served as state senator in 
               1865-66, and with Giles M. Hillyer was appointed by Gov. B. G. 
               Humphreys on a commission, authorized by the legislature, to 
               visit Washington and request President Johnson to release 
               Jefferson Davis. In 1869 he was the Democratic candidate for the
               office of attorney-general but was not elected. In the campaign 
               which resulted in the overthrow of the Carpetbag government in 
               1876, he took an active part. In 1881, adherents of Gov. J. M. 
               Stone and Ethelbert Barksdale caused a deadlock in the state 
               Democratic convention and Lowry was nominated as a compromise 
               candidate for governor. The following campaign, which was the 
               last in which the Republican party (under the name Independent 
               Party) put forward candidates for state offices in Mississippi, 
               resulted in a victory for Lowry. He was renominated in 1885 and 
               elected without opposition. During his term of office the 
               local-option law was passed, The Industrial Institute and 
               College for women at Columbus was established, and 
               appropriations for public scholls were increased. After retiring
               from the governorship he practiced law at Jackson, Miss. In 
               1891, in collaboration with William H. McCardle, he published "A
               History of Mississippi.' He was candidate for the unexpired term
               of Senator E. C. Walthall, who died in 1898, but failed of 
               election. For seven years prior to his death he was commander of
               the United Confederate Veterans. He died in Jackson and was 
               buried in Brandon." [Dictionary of American Biography]

               Emily, who outlived the others, was a very attentive student in 
               the Sabbath-school room, and endeared herself to the hearts of 
               her associates. They have left a large family of brothers and 
               sisters who are very near all members of our Church, and a large
               circle of friends who sorely mourn their loss. 
                     "Bro. Rushing is an elder of the Liberty congregation, and
               has battled long and hard for the cause of our blessed Master. 
               Hold up your head, Bro. and sister Rushing, you will soon cross 
               the river, where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary 
               are at rest...." James M. Holley. Decaturville, January, 1876.

      The children of Martha Rushing are recorded in the probate records of the
estate of Enoch Deason Rushing in Sumter Co., Alabama. Thr probate record 
generally lists the children in the order in which they later appear in the 
1850 census. The probate records lists daughters Frances White and Matilda 
White not listed in the 1850 census. One of these probably is the Melvina 
listed in the census (Frances based on order). The Sumter Co. probate records 
note that George W. Harrell had been appointed by the Decatur Co. Court as 
guardian of Martha's children. 

      She married Albert White (104).

      The following is a letter dated January 28, 1878, from Faribe Jane Lacy 
to her cousin Mary Ann Moore [daughter of Joel Rushing]. The letter is marked 
Carthage, Texas. 
      "I will attempt to write to you one time more, although it has been a 
long time since I wrote you. My dear Cousin I have not forgot you and your 
father and mother and also your brothers and sisters. I have not forgot Leroy. 
I wish I could see him and you. I often think back to the time when we was all 
together. There was my happiest days, although I have more and live better than
then. I have not heard from you all in about two years. My dear little Mary 
Jane Welch did write to us, but she has quit writing. I guess she has married 
and forgot us. [Note: Mary Jane Welch married Edward S. Wright 22 Dec 1877.] I 
want you to write to me about brother Will. I wrote to him about a month ago, 
but have not yet received an answer. I do not know why he does not write to me.
If I could only see you I could tell you many things. You know I am a sorry 
hand to write without telling you. Will you write to me? Please do so. Times 
here are about as they always are. That is there is a living for every body if 
they will work for it. I am getting along very well. To tell you the truth 
better than I ever did in my life. I have only my self and three children to 
support. My girls have never had to work and they have went to school a great 
deal. I bought them a piano and they are taking music lessons. My dear Cousin I
live you may not be surprised if I visit you all some day. I would like once 
more to see you all. Brother Green's wife died last September and his oldest 
daughter died in December and left her two children. One was a young baby. This
leaves us all well. Please answer this letter and tell me about all my friends.
Give my love to all. From your loving Cousin F. J. Lacy." [Moore family papers]
      The following sketch of Pheriba Jane Lacy appears in "A History of Panola
County, Texas, 1819-1978," published by the Panola County Historical 
Commission. Included was a photograph of Pheriba Jane Lacy, and a second of her
son and daughter-in-law. 
      "Pheriba Jane Rushing Lacy was born in Tennessee in 1833. [Texas] was 
considered a new country--way out west. Her oldest brother, after her father 
died, moved to Texas. He wrote about what a delightful place it was and that 
all that a home would cost would be to file on 160 acres of land, have it 
surveyed, and send the file notes to Austin and get a patent on it. The total 
cost would be $7.50. The family traveled down the Tennessee and Ohio Rivers by 
steamboat to get to the Mississippi and down this river to the Red River and to
Shreveport. They went on to Texas by ox wagon. 
      "After her husband died in 1876 she made a living for her son and 
stepchildren by running the hotel she and her husband had. The hotel was 
located on the Southeast corner of the square. It burned in 1884. Many colorful
experiences were encountered in these early days. A heated argument between two
half-drunk men in the dining room occurred and when they arose to settle it 
with drawn guns, Mrs. Lacy came between them with a hot pan of biscuits held

over her head. The other twenty men left in flight. She was a courageous woman.
In the midst of the Civil War the Yankees invaded Carthage and food supplies 
that could be found. After Mrs. Lacy discovered they had taken a barrel of her 
sugar and a bale of her cotton and were ready to drive off in their wagon she 
got her shot gun after them and her goods were returned." [History of Panola 
County, Texas] 
      An unproven oral tradition in the family of Pheriba's brother John 
Bateman Rushing is the Pheriba was first married to a Hendricks who was killed 
in the Civil War. There is no indication whether this marriage took place in 
Tennessee or Texas. In the household of B. B. Lacy in the 1870 census of Shelby
Co., Texas, the children Alice, Mollie, and Charles are listed with the last 
name Hendrick. 

      She married, first, Hendrick, before 1861. Children:

           i.  Alice[7] Lacy. Born, circa 1861. Census: 1870, in Shelby Co., 
               TX. She married J. S. Woodward.

      She married, second, Benjamin Burton Lacy, circa 1866. Born, 18 Apr 1827,
in AL. Died, 29 Jan 1876, in Carthage, Panola Co., TX. 
      Benjamin Burton Lacy was born in Alabama. The date of his move to Texas 
is unknown. He served in the 12th Legislature of the State of Texas.

      Prior to the Civil War, W. H. H. Rushing lived on his father's property 
on the south side of the Decaturville-Middleburg Road opposit Campground 
Church. During this time he was the best friend and drinking buddy of Leroy P. 
Moore who lived on the adjacent farm. The two seemed to have lived a carefree 
bachelor life. (Leroy P. Moore's store purchases during this period before his 
marriage consisted mostly of tobacco and whiskey.) W. H. H. Rushing in this 
period, in addition to farming, made staves which he took by river to New 
Orleans to sell. 
      W. H. H. Rushing enlisted in the Confederate Army at Trenton, Tennessee, 
on September 1, 1861, and served in Company H, 31st Tennessee Infantry. In a 
1922 state pension claim he notes that he was stationed at Island No. 10 for 
seven months. He notes that he was in the battles at Murfreesboro (Stones 
River), Shelbyville, Guys Gap, Chattanooga, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, 
Kenesaw Mountain, Jonesburough, Franklin, and Nashville. He was discharged

      Although Elijah is listed in the 1860 census in Shelby County, he seems 
to have returned to Tennessee before the start of the Civil War. He enlisted in
the Confederate Army on September 26, 1861, at Camp Trenton, Trenton, 
Tennessee. He served as Sergeant in Company H, 31st Tennessee Infantry. This is
the same unit as his brother W. H. H. Rushing served in. He was with the unit 
on May 12, 1862, near Shelbyville, Tennessee. On May 30, 1862, he is noted as 
having deserted from Corinth, Mississippi, with gun and other accoutrements. 
      Elijah Rushing enlisted in the Union Army at Bethel, Tennessee, September
18, 1862. He was first in Company E, 6th Tenn. Cavalry. This is the same entry 
date as for several of his cousins. On December 15, 1862, he was transferred to
Company G. He was wounded in the right leg at Clifton, Tennessee, February 20, 
1864, but returned to his regiment April 1, 1864. In June 1865 he was stationed
outside Pulaski, Tennessee. He mustered out of service July 26, 1865. 
      His Union military record describes him as having a fair complexion and 
blue eyes.

      John Bateman Rushing went to Texas from Decatur County, Tennessee, about 
1858 when his oldest brother moved the family. He enlisted in the Confederate 
Army February 19, 1862, and was discharded at Hempstead, Texas, in 1865. He 
served in Company B and later Company H of the 11th Texas Infantry. He received
Texas confederate pension #23177 and Texas confederate mortuary warrant #23424.
      The following is the text of a brief autobiography written by John 
Bateman Rushing: 
      "Appleby, Texas, April 21, 1930 
      "This being my 85th birthday and my children having requested that I give
them for scrap-book purposes and as a family memorial a sketch of my ancestors,
as well as of my own life, also the lives of various people of pioneer days. I 
have decided to do so, or at least do the best I can in this regard. I was born
in Decatur county, Tennessee, in the year 1845. My father, Asa Rushing, was 
born in Anson county, North Carolina, December 25, 1801. Grandfather Jason 
Rushing was also born in North Carolina, but the date is forgotten. My 
great-grandfather came from England in colonial days to a free country where he
could worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and where 
there was none to molest or make afraid under their own vine and fig tree, so 
to speak. There were two brothers, Mark and Solomon. One of them was my 
paternal ancestor, but I do not know which one, but from the history that I 
have been able to gather on the subject, I am persuaded that it was Mark, 
because of the fact that there are several of that name in the Rushing family. 
The two men had sixteen children, thirty-two in all, and I believe mostly sons.
Thus it may be seen that the Rushings had a fairly good start in an early day. 
My grandfather, Jason Rushing, had twelve children, seven sons and five 
daughters. My father, Asa Rushing, had ten children, four sons and six 
daughters. Of this large family, I am the youngest. I have in my own immediate 
family, seven children, four sons and three daughters. 
      "I will first give a sketch of the early life of my father. He was 
married to Nancy G. Hendricks in 1825 and at that date Tennessee was considered
a new country. It was way out west, so to speak, and so they decided to move 
there and build up with the country. My father had a good horse and a one-horse
wagon. So the couple put all their earthly possessions in that wagon, hitched 
up and moved. It is a part of our family history that my mother did most of the
driving, because the roads were very rough, thus through the vast wilderness 
they made their way to their new home. Others who traveled with them traveled 
in a similar way. In fact, in that day and time there were very few wagons. The
country was thinly settled and land was cheap. Arriving in the locality where 
they decided to locate, they stopped, pitched camp and went to work. In the new
country, they were happy beyond measure.

      "In this connection I will tell this story; a story that my dear mother 
used to tell me about her girlhood days. In that day there were no cotton gins.
The only way to separate the seed from the lint was to pick the seed out with 
their fingers. The good housewives would then card the lint into rolls with the
old fashioned hand cards, and spin it into thread on the old fashioned spinning
wheel. Then warp it and harness it up in the old fashioned loom, and weave it 
into cloth. They would then cut out the garments and sew them together by hand.
The custom to get the seed and lint separated was to give an old time party 
well mixed with work and fun. Some good mother would invite the young people to
come together for that purpose. After the work was finished, they would spend 
the remainder of the night in fun and frolic. The first step taken was for the 
young men to select a girl, one each, as partners, to be in the work and in the
fun. The hostess would then ask each youngster to slip off his left shoe and 
she would take it and fill it with cotton in the seed. The couple would have to
pick out enough lint to fill the shoe before they could take part in the fun. 
The girl who had a partner with a number eleven shoe had a hard time. The 
social gatherings were sources of much pleasure in pioneer days. 
      "My father and mother were charter members of New Hope church, the first 
Baptist church organized in that part of the country. My father died in 1850, 
leaving mother to care for the children. Her main thoughts were to plant in 
their hearts a christian spirit and this she did by precept and example. A few 
years after the death of my father, my oldest brother, Green Rushing, married 
and moved to Texas. He was so well pleased with the new country that he at once
got busy writing to us in Tennessee what a delightful place it was and that all
that a home would cost would be just to file on the 160 acres of land, have it 
surveyed and then send the field notes to Austin and get a patent to it. The 
total cost being seven dollars and fifty cents, and the best land could be 
bought for fifty cents an acre. So it just seemed to us that the honey pond and
fritter tree was surely in Texas. 
      "We loaded our household effects on a wagon and moved to Texas in 1857. 
We came down the Mississippi river in a steam boat, having traveled the same 
way down the Tennessee and Ohio rivers to get to the Mississippi river. We came
down the Mississippi to the mouth of the Red river, and then up that river to 
Shreveport, then on ox wagons to Texas. This being the only way of 
transportation in pioneer days. We crossed the Sabine river at Logansport into 
Shelby county, and that county was my home until the Civil War. After crossing 
the Sabine river, and getting into the promised land, our attention was first 
attracted to the thinly settled condition of the country, it being several 
miles from one settlement to another. When we came to a house, it was just a 
small log house, often not having but one door, a stick and dirt chimney, and 
more often a dirt floor. The house was covered with long boards having rib 
poles to hold the boards on to keep the wind from blowing them off. Wild 
animals and birds were in abundance. One could often count fifteen to twenty 
deer in a bunch. There were wolves, some panthers, an occasional bear, plenty 
of wildcats and various other kinds of wild animals. The woods were full of 
turkeys, squirrels, quail and other game which made the matter of living very 
easy. The streams were full of fish of various kinds, and the woods were full 
of various kinds of snakes. We had no matches in those days and so when fire 
went out, we took a piece of flint and steel of some kind, piled a quantity of 
dry shavings mixed with powder and holding the flint in one hand, over the pile
struck the flint with the piece of steel. The spark fell into the shavings and 
powder, and produced a flash which caught the shavings, and we had a fire. Most

                                SIXTH GENERATION

boys and men always carried their flint and steel in their pockets. Hogs got 
fat in the woods on the mast. The creeks and branches had canebreaks on them, 
which made it easy for cattle to live on the open range winter and summer. We 
always had plenty of meat, but had no cans in which to place the lard. We 
raised large gourds. Some of these gourds would hold half a bushel of shelled 
corn. We let these great gourds dry, then cleaned them, and used them for 
various purposes. We used smaller gourds for drinking purposes. In those days 
we had no free schools, nor public money. The school houses were few and far 
apart, and when you came to one, it was just a plain little log house like 
those in which the people lived. It had puncheon floor, if any floor at all, 
the puncheon floor being made of logs split half and half, laid flat side up, 
which was smoothed down with a broadaxe and footadze. The same kind of log was 
used for seats, turned flat side up with two holes forced in each end, into 
which long pegs were inserted and which answered the purpose of logs. The 
benches had no backs. The school house had one door, and it was in the side of 
the house, and on the opposite side a crooked log was so placed as to make a 
window or opening for light. A slab was used for a writing table. This was the 
school outfit we had in the good old days. There were no penpoints or pencils. 
We wrote with goose quill pens and the teacher was supposed to know how to make
these pens. The teacher always carried his chair with him, and if any of the 
pupils wanted to know about a word or anything, they would have to walk across 
the house and ask him. Most teachers had a long switch handy, and if the pupils
did not obey him, he would not hesitate to use it. If he caught any of the 
pupils acting contrary to the rules, he would pitch the switch to them, and 
make them bring it to him, and they either got a good lecture, or a licking. I 
have often seen as many as six or seven bringing the switch to the teacher. 
During these exciting times, the school was at ease. The teacher required the 
pupils to spell out loud while they were getting their lessons. If they should 
calm down he would rap the floor and say 'Spell Out,' and if that did not get a
move on them, he would say 'Louder, Louder,' with a vim in his voice. On a calm
day one could hear the school spelling half a mile away. Often on our way to 
school we would have to shy around wild cattle or hogs. Children had to walk 
from one to five miles to school in the old days. If anyone should happen to 
pass by the school and holler 'School butter,' every boy and sometimes the 
teacher, would just drop everything and take after him and catch him, and them 
make him treat or take a ducking in the creek. It was the rule on the last day 
of school if anybody could get to the school before the teacher got there in 
the morning, to shut the door and bar the teacher out, unless he would agree to
treat the school. If the teacher refused the boys just picked him up and 
started to the creek to give him a ducking. Sometimes he would contend that he 
would not treat, but when they came to the water he would generally agree to 
treat. As a rule, the teacher, on the last day would always treat the school, 
and he always kept order until the hour for treating came. He would then say 
the children were under their parents and he expected them to take control. I 
regret to say it, but in those days whiskey was drunk in public and sold at 
many places. Sometimes young men would drink too much and the sober boys would 
take candy. If any misunderstanding or fights came up the parents were expected
to take control as they were always present at the jollifications. The old Blue
Back Speller, Kirkham's Grammar, Smiley's Arithmetic and McGuffey's Readers 
were the principle books used in pioneer school days. The only way to get 
lumber was to saw it by hand, using what is known, or was known, as a whipsaw. 
Just cut a log about eight feet in length, roll one end in a sort of frame,

                                SIXTH GENERATION

then begin to saw it. It took two men all day to saw off only a few planks. 
Later on, the old fashioned water mill saw outfit was installed, using the sash
saw running up and down. The first steam sawmill erected in Nacogdoches county 
was put up in the Fifties. It was brought out from Shreveport on ox wagons. I 
saw it as it passed through Shelby county. We had no oil lamps to make us 
lights. We had grease lamps made out of clay, also tallow candles and torch 
lights. A buggy was as wonderful to use in those days as an airplane is to us 
in these modern days. Ox wagons, carts and slides were our different methods of
transportation, and there only a few horse wagons in use. Riding horseback was 
the most common method of traveling from place to place. In those days the 
girls could all ride horseback and in this way the young people always took 
their pleasure. We raised corn, cotton, oats and some wheat. There were no 
threshers to thresh the wheat, and the only way to thresh it was to place it in
a clean spot and beat it out with flails. Sometimes we would pile it in a 
circle on the ground and trample it out with horses. We would take pitchforks 
and turn it over until it was all beaten out. Then we would take the straw off 
and fan it with sheets. One man would take a half bushel of the grain and stand
on a box and two men with a sheet, one at each end could fan, and thus separate
the chaff from the grain. The women would then take the wheat and wash and dry 
it, and it was then ready for the mill. The miller would grind it and run it 
through a hand-bolting chest. The flour would come out first, the shorts next 
and the bran last. These were the good old times we hear people talk about. 
      "The women wore cotton homespun dresses and home-made bonnets. The men 
wore dark dyed pants and straw or wool hats. The rich men had bee-gum hats, but
the girls in their home spun dresses looked just as sweet as they do now with 
all the artificial work and paint, and starch and powder that they can put on. 
We all wore home made shoes. We tanned our leather in troughs and made the 
shoes at home. One pair each year was all the shoes a child got. When we went 
to church we rode horseback, went in ox-carts, or walked. I can say with all my
heart that the old pioneer preacher always had a message worth while, for his 
congregation. As a rule he always had good attention. There was not a cook 
stove in all the country. Our mothers used the old pot-rack that hung in the 
chimney. They hung the pot on it and then built the fire under it. The old 
skillet, the oven, and the frying pan were the main cooking utensils. We had 
the johnycake in the ashes which was a great rarity. There were only a few 
mills in the country and often we would have to go twenty miles to mill and 
even then have to let the corn stay there two weeks in order to get it ground 
into meal. So it happened that in order to get meal, we would sometimes have to
use the 'gritter,' as it was called. We just soaked the corn in water so it 
would not come off the cob so easy while being gritted, as it was called. 
Sometimes we would borrow meal from a neighbor and when people lived as near to
each other as eight miles away, they were neighbors. When building or raising 
our houses, log houses, we would ask hands to help us, who lived as far as 
eight miles away. Many of the settlers would have to go fifteen miles to mail 
their letters, or to get the mail. 
      "We now come to my early manhood and the war between the states. The war 
started in 1861 and the boys began to enlist in several of the companies. So I 
was enthused and desired to join the army of the Confederacy. On the 28th day 
of January, 1862, I enlisted as a volunteer at old Buena Vista, in Shelby 
county, in Captain Amerson's company, and was sworn into service by O.M. 
Roberts, he being our colonel. We were sworn in for twelve months, but in July 
we were re-organized and sworn in for three years, or during the war. At that

time, A.B. Johnston was elected our captain. We were in Roberts' regiment, 
Randle's Brigade and Walker's Division. We were known as 'Walker's Greyhounds' 
on account of the many long, forced marches we had to take. Our military 
service was confined to the territory west of the Mississippi River, and called
the Trans-Mississippi Department, and after the Confederate states were cut 
asunder by the gunboats taking possession of the Mississippi River, General E. 
Kirby Smith became head of the Trans-Mississippi Department, subject to the 
orders of President Jeff Davis, of the Confederacy. Shreveport was headquarters
for this department. We had many hardships of various kinds. We had no tents 
for shelter. We just had to take all kinds of weather as it came, rain, hail, 
sleet or snow, storm or sunshine. Our only house was what we called a 
'Doghouse,' just tie strings to the four corners of, and the middle of, a 
blanket, stretch it over a pole, tuck it to the ground, then dig a ditch around
it with a butcher knife. Two men could get on their knees, crawl in and sleep 
as snug as two rats. Our battles in the Civil war, west of the Mississippi 
River, were all fought in the open field. Our mothers and sisters at home 
furnished with what clothes and blankets we used. The sutler, as we called him,
would make trips at different times in a wagon from our homes to where we were 
camped and it might be in Louisiana, or Arkansas, or even in Missouri, he would
come to us just the same. We were always glad to see him, for in addition to 
the blankets and clothes he also brought the dear sweet letters from home and 
the loved ones. During all these hardships I was not sick a single day, and 
never took a dose of medicine during the war. One of my brothers was severely 
wounded at the battle of Pleasant Hill, and I was detailed to go to the 
hospital at Mansfield and nurse and wait on him, and other wounded soldiers. I 
stayed there forty-seven days. The only time I was absent from the command 
during the war. After Lee surrendered on April 9, 1865, we were marched to 
Texas and were disbanded at Hempstead, about May 20, 1865. We then returned to 
our dilapidated homes to meet our loved ones. We had lost the cause for which 
we had fought and suffered so much. We were an over-powered people, and had to 
submit to the victors. However, in the face of all this, we were glad the war 
was over, and that we were at home again. So we just started life over again as
from the start. Everything was torn up and run down. There was no money in the 
country. Foodstuff and plow tools were awfully scarce. We had to patch old 
implements and get along the best way we could. Many of us would plow all day, 
then bell or hobble our horse, or horses, and turn them out to grass. Next 
morning we would listen to hear the bell, then go and drive the horse up, hitch
him to the plow and work again all day as before. I used to work for the 
blacksmith in order to get my plow fixed, and for the shoemaker to get my 
shoes. From the time I came home until my crop was harvested in the autumn I 
had only $1.50 and my mother gave me the money I had. I made a good crop. 
Cotton brought a good price and when I sold it the man who bought it paid me in
gold. It was the prettiest money I have ever seen, or ever expect to see again.
It was all my own, for I had done without the things that I had needed so badly
and I want to say just here that my experience that year taught me a great 
lesson, and that was to do without things until I was able to pay for them in 
the autumn, and through my long life, I have never contracted for anything more
than I could pay for at harvest time. Everybody seemed to be happy after so 
many hardships, from a religious and neighborly point of view, but from a 
political viewpoint everything was hard and disagreeable. As a conquered 
people, we were not considered as citizens. We were disfranchised and placed 
under military law. A company of federal soldiers were stationed at each county

seat to keep order. At one time there was but one citizen officer in 
Nacogdoches county. Nobody was able to qualify for a long time. Young people 
wanting to get married had to go to some other county that was fortunate enough
to have a man to get qualified for county clerk. Reconstruction days were so 
hard we could not vote and elect our officers. The federal government appointed
them for us, out of what we called 'scalawags' and 'carpetbaggers.' It was to 
relieve this intolerable situation that the Ku Klux sprang into existence and 
ultimately put the scalawags out of the country, even to our governor, who was 
E. J. Davis. In order to become citizens again, we began to take certain oaths.
The last one was called the iron clad, or amnesty oath. I did not see how we 
could swallow such a big one, but others swallowed it and so did I. After this 
we were allowed to vote again, but at the same time, federal officers stood at 
the polls with six-shooters and shotguns to watch us vote and disqualify us if 
we had not fully complied with all the ironclad requirements. By and by the 
federal officers gave way to the civil authorities and state government. Then 
we had real peace, more enduring and more satisfactory. During these trying 
times our schools had all run down for want of money. Teachers were scarce and 
salaries small. Teachers taught without a certificate and salaries so small 
that men who were qualified for teaching could not afford to do so. The 
consequence was that boys and girls who grew up during this period had a very 
poor opportunity to get an education. Under such circumstances I gave up the 
idea of trying to get an education and began to plan for future life. I decided
to be a farmer and in order to do this I must have a home. So I began to look 
around and hunt for a girl that would accept my proposition. I was lucky 
enough, for it seemed to me that I found the identical girl for which I was 
looking, and to her I made known my plans and proposition. She accepted them, 
and so on December 4, 1867 was happily married to Miss Sallie Stack at Shady 
Grove in Nacogdoches county, Texas. The ceremony was said by Rev. Joe S. 
Lambert, a pioneer Baptist preacher. So the real work of a lifetime had 
started. At that time lumber was so scarce and had to be hauled so far that it 
well nigh impossible to get enough with which to build a house. We bought a 
piece of land and laid our plans, and these plans called for a log house. We 
went to the woods and pitched into cutting the logs. We split the logs for the 
walls and hewed them, making a smooth surface or face. Then we covered the 
house with boards which were 'rived,' or split near at hand with an old 
fashioned froe. Long ceiling boards were split for lining the cracks. Then we 
hewed out puncheons for the floor. These puncheons were smoothed with a 
footadze so the floor was as smooth as a plank floor. The door shutters had 
wooden hinges. So the house was finished and not a foot of lumber was used. At 
that time, it was some distance to a house, and at night we could hear the howl
of wolves and an occasional scream of a panther, but they did not worry us nor 
mar our happiness in the least, for we were in our own home and it was our 
castle. The first meal in our new home was dinner. I was bury in the yard when 
wife came and said dinner was ready. She had prepared the best dinner she could
for the occasion. The table cloth was as white as snow. The knives, forks and 
spoons were perfectly bright. My plate was at one end of the table and her 
plate was at the other end. We took our seats and now comes the first step in a
Christian home. She looked across the table with a reverential and Godly smile 
and said, 'Please return thanks.' I asked to be excused for I felt so unworthy,
for I was not a professed Christian. She was. I did feel so thankful for her 
and the home, and the meal she had prepared with her own sweet hands. So it put
new thoughts in my mind and heart. I remembered my mother's faithfulness as a

Christian soldier and how her home was always open to the preachers and others,
and how the preacher would lay his hand on my head and speak kind, good words 
to me hoping I would grow up to manhood and make a good and useful man, like 
bread cast upon the water, to be gathered up after many days. So these thoughts
and many others came to me and seemed to say 'Yes, now is the time,' and the 
harvest is ripe. I could see myself just like God seeing me. So I began to 
yield. So home building was our first thought. We began to read the Bible a 
great deal, and to talk about religion and go to church, and think and pray. 
But in the face of all this I felt so unworthy that I was persuaded in my own 
mind to wait longer and get better. So I waited and waited for more than a year
trying to get good, but all my efforts were failures. At least all hope seemed 
to be lost. So one day I took my old shotgun and told my wife I was going down 
on the creek hunting. But my mind was bent on more serious business. I was 
hunting for the Lord. At last when far down in the creek bottom, I just stopped
and submitted my case to the Lord saying, 'yes, Lord I am lost. And it is just 
but lost or saved, live or die, sink or swim, take me just as I am. I give to 
thee my heart, my life, my soul, mind and strength, as a living sacrifice unto 
thee. I will serve thee and thee alone, the balance of my life.' So sweet peace
came to my soul and I arose from the place with a new life, a new heart and a 
new tongue with peace and joy ringing in my soul and from that moment to this, 
my life has been given to the Lord. So on the following Saturday I went to old 
Hopewell Church at Cross Roads, which was the fourth day of December, 1870, 
told the story of the cross and was received for baptism, and was baptized on 
Sunday the 5th. So the real Christian home was set up and a family altar 
erected. We thought of Abraham when he first came to the Promised Land. His 
first step was to erect an altar to the Lord. Our early life and pioneer days 
now comes to a close. 
      "Hard times are not entirely gone, but the country is in better shape 
than it was years ago. Improvements of various kinds are showing up. But at the
close of the period just mentioned, our family life had just begun, for our 
home had been blessed with a dear little son, and we felt the great 
responsibility that rested on us. As the years passed seven children came to 
bless our home, four boys and three girls. First, we wanted to keep the home 
lights burning. We wanted to set precept and good example, spiritually speaking
before them, and raise them in the way that they should go, so when older they 
would not depart from it., and then to educate them for the work of life as 
best we could. We felt so thankful that the Lord had blessed us so much during 
all these long years. We lived to see them all grown, and become Christians, 
and all of them married to good, Christian companions, all established in 
business, and in homes of their own. The boys all holding diplomas in their 
profession. So as the years went on, these children passed out from the 
parental roof, and wife and I were left at home alone. The work of life seemed 
to be finished and now the children began to look after us. Then the shadow of 
sorrow came. The mother's health began to fail, and so we concluded to sell the
dear old home where we had lived for more than forty years, and raised our dear
children, where we had experienced so many joys, and the trials incident to 
pioneer life, but our greatest trial was when dear mother's health began to 
give way. So we moved to Appleby, where she could have better medical 
attention, and be handier to the children, but in spite of all that mortal 
hands and loving hearts could do, the dear wife and mother gradually grew 
weaker, but her constitution was so strong that she held up for ten years, and 
at last on the 25th day of February, 1919, quietly went to sleep. Her gentle

spirit passing on to the glory world. All the children were present when the 
end came, and so this was the saddest day of our lives, but the Lord's will be 
done, and we must all be submissive to that great Power above. We all felt so 
thankful for the good care of the doctors, friends and neighbors, for their 
love and sympathy in our trouble and sorrow. 
      "We now wish to revert back to the pioneer days at Shady Grove. I will 
first name some of the settlers and the place on which they lived. Alfred 
Wallace built on what is now known as the old Rushing place, 200 yards south of
the present cemetery, at a spring, in the year 1839. Tim Fuller, Bill Arnold, 
and others lived there. James Walling settled on what was known as the Felix 
Shirley place. William Summers, Davis King and Claiborne Weaver, preceded 
Shirley. John Reid settled the place where George Strahan now lives, in the 
year 1845. Larkin Chapman lived there for many years. James Bradshaw settled 
just in front of where Mrs. Layton now lives, about the year 1845. William 
Stone settled on the creek bank northeast of where Dave Strahan now lives in 
the year 1842. Brimbery, Malone and Stewart lived there about the same date. 
Old grandfather Strahan lived on what is now known as the Shadden place, Elijah
Stack came about the year 1842. A little log house was built in what is now the
yard of the Rushing place. In this little house was heard the first sermon ever
preached in Shady Grove settlement. The first school was taught in that house. 
The writer is indebted to his old time friend Sam Reid, for these dates, as Mr.
Reid lived in the Shady Grove community since 1845. In 1847, William Summers 
gave a deed to a small parcel of land to the community to be used for church 
and school grounds. A little log house was built and a Methodist church 
organized shortly afterward, I think in 1847. 
      "We now come to the date of our own observation. I first visited Shady 
Grove community in 1866, and will mention some of those that were living there 
at that time: Rev. J. R. Cox, John Strahan, Claborn Weaver, Larkin Chatman, 
Bill Tynes, Sam Reid, Eleck Reid, Dave Strahan, Nancy Strahan, John L. Thrift, 
Bill Duke, Rev. Louis Chandler, James H. Green, Frank Inghram, Mrs. Gaughf, 
Mrs. Ross, and just a little later two boys got married and became permanent 
citizens, they were J. S. Day and J. B. Rushing. As the years passed by many 
others moved in. Those were reconstruction days just after the Civil War. At 
that time there was trouble and confusion concerning the Carpetbaggers and 
Scalawags, but later this trouble all passed away and everybody seemed to be 
happy. For more than forty years not a single case came before the Courts from 
this Community. 
      "A Methodist Church was organized there in about 1847. A Baptist Church 
was organized in 1888, and in 1889 a Union house was built and the two churches
worshipped in the same house dividing the time equally, each having his own 
time. The two worked peaceably together helping each other in their revival 
meetings. Brotherly love surely did exist there. More Preachers, School 
Teachers, Doctors, Lawyers, and other business boys and girls have gone out 
from this community than any other in the county. God has surely blessed the 
good old community. I have been away from there for twenty years and 
improvements have been made. But when I go back there I can look back with 
pleasure and remember the merry happy days and hours I have spent there in the 
services of the Lord and especially the great revivals we had during those 
years when God so gloriously saved our children. 
      "I will now give a more complete record of my ancestors. My Great 
Grandfather Rushing was born in England, date not known. Grandfather Jason 
Rushing and Grandmother Alice Rushing were born in Anson county North Carolina

Co., Tennessee but is now Decatur County. We went from there to Phillips Co., 
Arkansas, in about 1821 and stayed there one year. Then came back to Lost Creek
and have lived in this neighborhood ever since. I professed religion in 1823 
and joined the Methodist church. I was licensed to exhort in 1840 and licensed 
to preach in 1845 at OId Center Camp Ground. My first sermon was preached from 
the text "I Am Now Ready to be Offered," (2 Tim: 4-6). I was ordained Deacon by
Bishop Capers at Trenton, Tennessee in 1850, and was ordained Elder by Bishop 
payne at Paducah, Kentucky, in 1867. 
      "I was married April 6, 1837 to Nancy G. White and we lived together 
until she departed this life May 23, 1904. To us were born eleven children, 
seven who preceded her to the good world. I am now very delicate and don't 
expect it to be long before I will go to meet the loved ones who have gone 
before me. I've had a great many to tell me that I was the instrument to God's 
hand opf their conversion and many of then have already gone home and will be 
there to meet me when I go. My address is Decaturville, Tennessee, R.F.D." [The
Fisher Scrap Book 1730-1972] Children:

           i.  Milton Brown[7] Fisher. Born, circa 1846. Died, 17 Jan 1938, in

               married Tennessee Yarbro, 13 Aug 1869, in Decatur Co., TN. 
                     Milton B. Fisher died from a stroke.

                     John Wesley Fisher and his wife Nancy had 11 children. 
               Three were stillborn. Four died as children: Evelyn (age 9), 
               Thomas Jefferson (2 days), Nancy Green (age 2), and John B. (age
               12). 


104.  Albert[6] White (Reuben R., 43). Born, 18 Oct 1814, in NC. Died, 15 Mar 
1885. Burial in Ebenezer Cem., Henderson Co., TN. Census: 1850, in Decatur Co.,
TN. Census: 1880, in Henderson Co., TN. Occupation: Farmer. 
      One source lists Albert White as a son of Henry White and Hannah Rushing.
Based on age and location, he seems more likely to have been a son of Reuben 
White. In the 1850 census Albert White is living in Decaturville (household 
#57) near William H. Morgan (#58), Nicholas D. White (#59), and Ruben White 
(#61). In the 1860 census Albert is still in Decatur County but in 1870 and 
1880 he appears in the Scotts Hill area of Henderson County. 
      The family of Albert White is interpreted in this database by assigning 
Martha A. White in the 1850 census as Albert White's second wife and all the 
younger Whites in the 1850 census as children of the first marriage. Children 
listed in the 1870 and 1880 censes are assigned to the second marriage. This 
grouping is proven in the records of settling the estate of Enoch Deason 
Rushing in Sumter Co., AL, in the 1850s. 

      He married, first, Martha Rushing (85), circa 1834. Children:

 192       i.  Richmond/Richard A.[6] White.
 193      ii.  William Egbert (Egg) White.

      Martha A. White appears to have been a second wife of Albert White. She 
may have died shortly after the 1870 census. She might be a Morgan. In 1850 
Albert White is living adjacent to William H. Morgan, and there is a John G. 
Morgan living in Albert White's household. Children:

      Among descendants of Eliza's granddaughter Sophia Rushing Moore there is 
an oral tradition that Eliza was sister of Noah Williams. Another descendant 
line from William Gilbert Rushing also records her to have been a Williams. 
However, in the marriage record of her son Millard Fillmore Rushing in Massac 
Co., Illinois, she is listed as Eliza White. Compare her April 20, 1819 birth 
date with the April 20, 1809, birth date listed by J. D. White, Sr., in "A Line

                     Mathew white is listed as a son of Nicholas Daniel White. 
               He is said to have been a Confererate soldier and to have died 
               of measles. He might be the J. M. White listed in the 1850 
               census.

      Gordon Turner wrte the following in his "History of Scotts Hill, 
Tennessee." JOHNSTON, Dr. William D.; C.S.A. No official identification 
available. Reports indicate that he served as a doctor; other reports indicate 
that he may have served on his own without official enlistment. Mrs. A. H. 
Taylor whose family lived near his in the Dunbar area, thinks he was a regular 
enlisted soldier-physician. Anyway, he died during the war near Clifton from 
either a wound or dysentery. He had married Sarah Frances White and his body 
was brought back to White Cemetery near Dunbar for burial. An impressive 
monument marks the grave. A son, Dr. C. H. Johnston (known as "kit" to many) 
practiced in his home area for a short time; then in the Shady Hill Community 
during which he made some calls in and around Scotts Hill. He then moved his 
practice to Lexington until his death. Known as a very good doctor, Dr. "Kit" 
never married but among his brothers were: Gus J., Epp and W. D. ("Billy") Jr. 
Some of us remember Dr. Kit's love for his widowed mother and his passing 
through Scotts Hill on horseback nearly every weekend to visit her in the old 
home not far from Dunbar. Children:

      "George W. Partin came to Decatur County from Ringold, Georgia, in 1880 
and settled in the neighborhood of Bear Creek. He was a sewing machine agent. 
He met and fell in love with Margaret Rushing and they were married February 8,
1882. They built a house in the Bear Creek section and a post office was 
established here by the name of Partinville, being named after the first 
Postmaster, George W. Partin. 
      "After the Midland Railroad was built and the town of Parsons 
established, George W. Partin and his family moved there. He owned several 
businesses in Parsons and served as Postmaster of Parsons from December 7, 
1893, to January 18, 1909. 
      "In 1912, Teddy Roosevelt gave George Partin a six cylinder open type 
used Ford car, for Partin's services in the presidential campaign. The car was 
shipped from Chicago by flat railroad car. It was the first one in Parsons. 
Fred Rains drove the Partin Ford to Mt. Tabor and broke up the service at a 
summer revival since it was the first car many had seen. The noise was 
deafening and the congregation heard the Ford long before it came in sight. 
Even the preacher said he had never seen a car and was going to see this one, 
so he stopped preaching to go out to see it. Some, less enthusiastic, did not 
feel this way and wanted to arrest Fred for disturbing public worship."
