Elizabeth RUSHTON b: Abt. 1859 Researchers, Check this over and see if you have any info to disprove my conclusions. These are my census notes of Benjamin Sr. A Study of the 1850 - 1870 census records of Benjamin and his family and the 1880 census, where Harriet Rushton is named the grandmother of Benjamin Frank Rushton leads me to believe that the Benjamin Rushton family living next door to B.F. Rushton age 1 and his parents, is his grandfather. I have connected these families based on that assumption. CENSUS: 1850 Edgefield Co, SC, the District, p. 174B, hh# 244 Benj.
