Hi Beth, Have you done any research of Sir William Duff, the uncle of Robert Green, born 1695? You will recall that Robert Green came to America in about 1712 with his uncle William Duff, the brother of Robert's mother. From what I have read, William Duff returned to England and Robert Green became the owner of his uncle's land. However, starting on page 179 of Will Book A-1 (1721-1752) of King George County, Virginia, the will of William Duff is shown, and it appears that he died in America owning much land. On page 179 of the same will book is apparently the will of Elizabeth Duff, his wife. Her will is dated October 27, 1746 and his will is dated 1741 and probated August 2, 1745. His wife, Elizabeth Duff, appeared in court and refused to accept provisions of her husband's will, so her nephew, Robert Green was qualified as executor of William Duff's estate. My question concerns the identity of Elizabeth Duff. It appears that she did not have any children by William Duff, and she was also married to a man named "Rush." She left cash to her son, Benjamin Rush, and named her grandson, Benjamin Rush, as executor of her estate, and names several children of Benjamin Rush in her will. It is my GUESS she was married to Benjamin Rush, Sr. What do you know, or believe, about this family? I have another connection to the "Rush" family, in that I descend from a Major James M. Rush, born about 1807 probably in Georgia, and I have not been able to identify his parents. As a result, I have researched the family of Dr. Benjamin Rush who signed the Decleration of Independence and was one of the foremost doctors of the early days of our country. I wonder if Elizabeth Duff was also married to Dr. Benjamin Rush???? My James M. Rush married Tennessee Blair about 1844 and the couple emigrated to the Republic of Texas in the spring of 1845. Their daughter, Vannie Rush married Archibald Cockerell, and these were the grandparents of my Mother. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Tom Green
