Thank you for responding to my query!! James Rush was b Bedford Co. PA, m
Mary Polly Creviston in Ross Co. OH after the family of Henry Rush
(including James) moved to Pickaway Co. OH ....then moved to Darke Co. OH.
James moved in 1828 to Eel River(as recorded in Darke Co history) with
several children but I don't know their names.Was Eel River a town in those
days and is it in Miami Co. IN????? As I study the list of marriages there
are some names that might fit James' family-----ANDREW(one of James'
brothers who was scalped by the indians in 1812); JOHN R....my ancestor in
Darke Co OH;Daniel H.(the H could be for his grandfather Henry???); and of
course all the females are common to any family at that time.
You mentioned the German Baptists...the RUSH family here in Darke were
Universalists which would be at the extreme in philosophy sooooooo I don't
know but Stephen's birth would fit about right. Jim in Darke Co. OH

I am a descendant of Stephen and Lydia (Fisher) Rush. Stephen was
born
abt
1822 in VA we think. He died in Miami Co in 1880. I don't know who his
parents were. The Fishers that married into the family were German
Baptists. We
don't have a definite origin of the Rushes, whether they are English or
German.
Any clues?
Justin
