Hi Brenda, I don't think that the RUSHERS were USHER, although I have wondered this. They were definitely RUSHER in England and everything here has been RUSHER, including a few Eastern state distant cousins. Someone could have dropped the 'R' somewhere along the line. It is certainly something I have in the back of my mind when looking for RUSHERs, as it isn't a very common name. Thanks for the question.
