Individual Details
Rebecca Rush
(16 Apr 1826 - 12 Nov 1901)
We assign Rebecca to Michael Rush based on the 1850 census. She is living with her father and brother Benjamin F. at age 19. She continues to live with Benjamin until his death. The census is a little off on the dates throughout the decades, but based on location of grave marker AND the fact that Rebecca is listed as an Aunt for Amanda Rush Morgan (1900) and Amanda is Benjamin's daughter, we feel good about this assignment. Below are the census dates:
1850 census: Age 19
1860 census: Age 31
1870 census: Age 35?
1880 census: Age 50
1900 census: Age 78
The above census' have Rebecca living with her father Michael, her brother Benjamin, and her Neice Amanda.
