I belong to the Rush County Mailing List as some of my Clinton County
Relatives came from Rush County. This was posted on that list and thought
it might be of interest to someone on this list if their relatives came from
Rush County.

To all who might find this of interest, there is a transcription of a first
hand account of pioneer life in Rush County, Indiana given by Thomas Newby
in 1916. It is a fascinating read, even if you are not a Newby relative,
which I am not. I simply came across it in my research and wanted to pass it
on. It can be found here:

The story is very detailed and mentions many families of the Carthage and
Rush County area.
Thomas was b. 1834 the son of Henry and Sarah Newby. The story indicates the
Newbys came from North Carolina. Thomas married Parthena Jane Griffin, and
they had a daughter, Sarah.
