Hello List, I am a newbie to this list and wonder if anyone has a Francis DeRusha in their ancestry. I know he married Mary Martha Faulkner about 1830 in Lower Canada. I know he died in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada 21 Aug. 1856 but do not know where in the world he came from before Canada. DeRusha sounds like a French name to me. Can anyone tell me is this is so> I do have the names of Francis & Mary Martha's children. They are: Mary Martha b. 1831 Jemima b. 1834 Elizabeth b. 1836 Susannah 1840 Edward 1841 Sarah 1842 Charles 15 Oct. 1846Ellen b. 1850 Abram D. 1853 Francis b. 1867 Elinor b. 1848 If anyone can give me any help with this family I would be delighted.
