I found this on the 1880 Census...Woodford County, Illinois. DOUGLAS RUSH did exist! Anyone with any of these other names in their RUSH history, please contact me. sharon_moeller@hotmail.com 1880 Woodford County Illinois Census: Nicholas Rush b. 1821 (Laborer) Born PA Jane Rush b. 1821 (wife) Born PA Joseph Rush b. 1851 (Laborer) Born PA Sara Jane Rush b. 1854 (dau...at home) Born PA Mariah E. b. 1856 (dau...at home) Born PA Douglass b. 1861 (son) Born IL Jane Eli (?) b.1876 (dau) Born IL Mariah has to be the "Aunt Rye or Rie" I was looking for. Still missing is "Aunt Sis"....Cornelia Rush. Nicholas and Jane's parents were all listed as being born in PA. Also found some Hallams listed but still have not found a connection between Hallam and Rush, other than Douglas Rush being buried at Hallam Burying Ground, Woodford County. I do know he died of TB, 1896.
