This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: RUSH; ANTILL; CLARK; TARR; STRICKLIN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AEC.2ACE/588 Message Board Post: Howard Clark is shown on the 1930 Cameron City Census living with his uncle, Harvey Rush. Who is the mother of Howard Clark? Marshall County Marriage Records show Clara J. Rush married to J. R. Clark on July 7, 1871. Harvey Rush was the brother of my g grandmother, Cassie Rush Antill. Her father was Commodore Perry Rush. His first wife was Elizabeth Stricklin. Could Clara be a daughter of this marriage? His second wife was Adeline Tarr. She was the mother of Arbell, Harvey, Lee, Sara, John, Rebecca, Cassie, James, Roberta, and Charles.

Linda, Thank you for the information. I don't know if he's related. Mine would have been the father, or brother, of Nancy Ann GROVES born 9 July 1895. It could have been a grandson or ggrandson of that GROVES - maybe. Her mother Rebecca McCONNALLY signed permission for her to marry in 1812, There is a record of marriage for a Rebecca GROVES to an Anthony MCCONNALLY in 1799-her sister, cousin or mother? I haven't been able to find a father for her, but have found a William GROVES in the 1810 census next to Anthony McCONNALLY. I figure he may be the brother or the father. Thank you for any help. Pam

Linda. he is a scream!! I noticed that someone with an E-mail address of Richard Meyer (Sally) wrote. Wonder if they are descendants of my Enoch Meyer on your Pleasants Co. Site?? Martha Cross Sargent
