I am looking for information on Jobe and Mary (TOWNSEND) RUSH married to Jobe RUSH on 29 June 1867. He first married a Tall? CRESWELL, Nov. 12, 1865. Jobe died after 1870 and Mary died in 1894. She was living with a CJ IVES and his wife Rebecca (TOWNSEND). It is unknown if this was her daughter or another relative.   I sent for his Civil War records and found nothing to help.   I am trying to find out what happened to his wife of 1865. I am also looking for his burial and perhaps dates on headstone (birth and death)     Pam
