I am trying to find Jonathan's father, either Christopher Rush or Christian Rush. He was 57 > years old (1803)in the 1860 Darke County Census, but the Family Bible has him being born 4-24-1815 in > Piqua, OH.

They lived in Darke County for > twenty years and there are no records. The Bible says that he died 11-18-1866, but no location. I have a > feeling that he is at Arba as well. > Why is it that all of the Family Histories fail to have this family listed?

The Bonds have been the best link > that I can find at the moment. > I wish that I could be in IN for a day or two. I think I might find a few answers. Can anyone help? > > This is a long shot but here goes! I have Alvah Rush married Mary Timmons in 3-16-1859( Her first marriage was to John Porter at age 16.)
