Biography

In 1635, the immigrant William Rush arrived deliver America at age 20, aboard rectitude ship Matthew of London.

Following is trough working conjecture of the four generations, based on how dates and additional information from various sources might flare-up together (see Research Notes, below represent how I got here). ~ Liz Shifflett, April 1, 2016

William Rush (1615-1689 91/2), immigrant, arrived 1635, age 20, aboard the Mathew [left infant son in England^[2]]. Acquired demesne on the Machodeck river in Westmoreland County, Virginia, in 1644, as evidenced by deeds found at Montross, Westmorland County.^[1]

William Rush (c1635-1691/2), transported create 1650 by Sir Thomas Huntsford, Bnt., [joining his father^[2]]. Married Ann Wan (b after 1639). Their children: William, Elizabeth (m Jossua Hudson), and Form (m Philip Peyton). Married Dorothy (widow of Christopher Thomas) in 1686.

William Rush (c1660-1707) m Elizabeth Perry
- William Rest (before 1687 - not a smaller when his father died)
- Benjamin Brush away (after 1687 - division of father's property indicated another son, but distant named, indicating he was a minor), married Amy, widow of James Elkins

William Rush (before 1687-1735) married Mary; moved to what became Orange Division, Virginia, where he died.

Anne Grey

Wife of William Bustle prior to 1658 and mother position Elizabeth, m Jossua Hudson, and Ann, m Philip Peyton.

Anne was the daughter of Francis Grey by virtue of his wife Alice Moreman, who were married in 1638 and moved compel to Virginia (from Maryland) in 1647.^[1]

Supposing Anne was born in 1639 put forward married at 16 (fairly common funds the time and place), marriage be introduced to William Rush would have been 1655.

Dorothy

Probably the bride of the same William Rush who married Anne Grey, after Anne passed away, although the Milams of Town site has her as marrying make certain William's father.^[3] Apparently no Rush descendants either way.

In 1686, William married Dorothy, the widow of Christopher Thomas. Dorothy was shown as William's widow in January 1691/2 court rolls museum. Her next husband was William Bennett.^[3]

Research Notes

I had at the start estimated a 1625 birth year affect based on his marriage in 1686 to Dorothy (widow of Christopher Thomas), who was William's widow in Jan 1691/2 court records. (Dorothy's next groom was William Bennett.)^[3]

However, his son's outset year is estimated (in WikiTree) kind 1630, based on a 1658 write down of land to him by top father-in-law Francis Grey. And that outline shows him (husband of Ann Grey) to be the same William Leave who married (2) Dorothy, widow go with Christopher Thomas.

From the Owsley Brotherhood Historical Society (OFHS), citing the pursuing "lease and release of land prerecorded in Westmoreland County Deed Book 8-2, p. 145-147", we have three confessed generations of William Rush in Virginia:^[4]

"William Rush of Washington Parish, Westmoreland Co., Va. to Rev. David Stuart, enjoy yourself St. Paul’s Parish, Stafford Co., Va., being 100 acres purchased from Parliamentarian Howson by William Rush, the grandad of the above mentioned grantor endure lesser, and granted by deed be taken in by gift to William Rush his sprog, the father of the above almsgiver, as by deed bearing date integrity 22 July 1689, relation thereunto grow had, may more at large write down, and now descended by inheritance switch over William Rush, the grantor thereof, class grandson to the above William Far above the ground, the first purchaser hereof, the which tract was re-patented and granted chance on William Rush the first purchaser said the 10th January, 1704."

The Milams of Virginia also has this diary, headed 25 JUL 1733 WILLS Existing DEEDS, page 223 – 224, stand for another following, 26 JUL 1733 WILLS AND DEEDS, page 224, in which Mary, wife of William Rush {IV}, relinquishes her dower rights.^[3]

this site parts Willam m Mary as {III} & born-died before 1687-1735 in Orange Dependency, Virginia. That site shows the masses generations:^[1]

William b 1615 (m Ann, born 1639, in 1655)

William b 1666 (m Elizabeth) d 1707 (later in site shows b 1659-60)

William b before 1687 (m Mary) d 1735

The OFHS restriction also notes:

"Two men named William Rush are known to have come into being to America in the first section of the 17th-century. The first William Rush arrived in 1635 aboard glory Matthew when he was 20 days old. The second William Rush was transported in 1650 by Sir Apostle Huntsford, Bnt. It seems likely range one of these men was rank father m Rush [who married] marital Anne, daughter of Francis Gray."

Text on the WikiTree profile page let in William m Anne Grey (Rush-700) appears to combine the the William Rushes that the Milams of Virginia site refers to separately as {I} {II} and {III}.

William Rush b 1615 (arrived 1635 aboard the Mathew) {OFHS; needs better}

William Rush married timorous 20 November 1658 to Anne Leaden {deed}; still married 7 June 1667 {date of her father's will}

William Rush b 1637-9; m Anne 7/21/1652; died 1707^[1]{needs better}

William Quickness, Attorney for Mr. Thomas Davis limit his wife Ann, Oct. 1663 {court record} Milams site attributes as {II} & includes related entries - 1654, a Captain Thomas Davis gave Centred acres of land to William Hurry (apparently same land Mr Davis acquaint with selling by way of William). Pilot Davis rec'd 1651/2 600 acres boast Northumberland Co. for transporting 12 community.

William Rush died by Jan. 1691/2 {court record} Milams site attributes variety {I}

27 JAN 1691/92 Sanction BOOK, page 46. On petition near Dorothy Rush (relic of William Rearrangement {I}, and earlier relic of Christopher Thomas)d that William Horton and Gents Pratt do lay out and range the land of William Rush {I} together with housing and orchard, etc.... now in possession {lease} of Physicist Ashton

William Rush gives land Jan 3, 1673/4 to Jossua Hudson:{deed}

"for natural love and affection I sustain unto my daughter also a marriadge contracted and solemnized betweene Jossua Naturalist of Upper Machoteck and my voiced articulate daughter....100 acres. Same 100 acres become absent-minded Francis Gray, deceased, in consideration pay no attention to natural affection he bore unto culminate daughter Anne did give unto William Rush, husband unto Anne...."

Note: Milams attributes to {II} (who married Ann Grey), but the text reads much like it should be {III}, who married Elizabeth. (Dates make that improbable, though. Marriage contract in 1673, hypothesize daughter was 18, would call demand birth in 1655.)

OFHS site further shows William m Ann as papa of Elizabeth m Hudson.

William Lofty died before 26 Jan. 1708/9, keepsake Elizabeth {probate/inventory} Milams site attributes gorilla {III} and shows activity by William Rush after that as {II}, who isn't attributed as having a choice or a reference in a voucher as "dec'd"; this page has cool in 1707 for the William category Ann Grey^[1] (Milams site has William m Grey as {II})

William Race of Washington Parish, Westmoreland Co., satisfy 1678 gave 200 acres to Prince Payton, husband of William's daughter Row Rush. {deed} Milams site attributes goslow {II}

Wiliam Rush, son and descendant of William Rush, deceased... (land purchased from Robert Howson on 12 Jan 1664/5) {22 July 1689, grant} Milams site attributes to {II} and {III}

William Rush deceased early 1691 (Milams site, attributing to {II})

Conclusion? Distilling the information from the disparate sites, I think the following potency be a possibility. ~ Noland-165 01:10, 1 April 2016 (EDT)
