He died in Crawford Co. Georgia in March 1839. There are so many Eli's and Elijah's, John's and James that it is hard to know what to look for unless you have a little path to follow. I am trying to find where we came from. I have found Rushings from, England, Germany, & France. Some came into New Orleans and Canada. I hope we can figure this out. Thanks for helping me.
