Shirley quotes EMR as saying that Benedict RUST m. Jane MIDDLETON. Ellsworth M. Rust, _Rust of Virginia_ (Washington, 1940), p. 94: "328-Benedict Rust-207 was born Westmoreland County, Virginia, October 25, 1743, died September 18, 1829, Frederick County, Virginia; married March 24, 1766, Jane (?) Middleton, born February 26, 1751, died September 3, 1832, daughter Robert Middleton." But see also p. 423: "(?)Jane Middleton Crabb, m. (probably) 328-Benedict Rust, youngest son of 207-Matthew Rust." And p. 442: "Jane Middleton [sister of Robert, Benedict, and William], living in 1780, m. John Crabb, whose will made in 1775 was proven in 1779. Their children were: "Elizabeth Rogers Crabb, m. probably Robert Middleton, stepson of 207-Matthew Rust. [Frances GARLAND Middleton, widow, married Matthew RUST. She had two children by MIDDLETON, Robert and Rachel] "John Crabb, m. 435-Elizabeth Rust, dau. of 317-Samuel Rust, and g-dau. of 206-Jeremiah Rust. "Mary Crabb, m. --- Gennett. "Benedict Crabb. "(?)Jane Middleton Crabb, m. (probably) 328-Benedict Rust, youngest son of 207-Matthew Rust. "Lettice Crabb. "William Middleton Crabb." The chronology works better if the bride is Jane Middleton CRABB instead of her mother Jane MIDDLETON Crabb. Has anybody got any further clues to solve this problem? Frances GARLAND Middleton Rust wrote her will 1759. William A. Crozier, ed., _Westmoreland County Wills_ (Virginia County Record Publications, n.s. 1, 1913), p. 61, citing Will Book 14: "RUST, FRANCES, 23 July 1759; 30 June 1761. Son Robert Middleton; dau. Rachel Cox; son Benjamin [sic; s/b Benedict] Rust; daughters Frances Shearman and Molly Rust." Which COX did Rachel marry? Kathleen Much kathleen@casbs.stanford.edu
