Individual Details
Susannah CREVISTON
(Abt 24 Aug 1786 - 3 May 1865)
In 1850 census with Susannah is Mary Dixon, 18. Is she a daughter or grand-daughter? If daughter, Susannah would have been 47 at birth. Anna is listed as an heir of Joseph in the deed to Henry Landers, but Mary is not.
Looking at the age of Henry Creviston, he was 50-60 (1770-1780) in the 1830 census. If so, it doesn't seem likely she could have been his child if she was born 1786. And then in 1840 census, he was listed as 40-50. Possibly that was a father and then a son.
Birth date calculated by Family Tree Maker based on death date and age at death, per cemetery book.
Possibly Susannah had a first marriage, with Nellie and Mary born, then Joseph Dixon was a second marriage. Here are marriages from genweb site for all Creviston:
Crevison, Susan Dixon, Joseph 30 Jan 1830 001 Benjamin Murphy, JP
Creviston, Henry Harter, Elizabeth Mar 1845 003 073 John Nowling, JP
Creviston, James B. Ohler, Mary 23 Aug 1849 003 188 Levin B. Popp, JP, Washington Twp
Creviston, Rhoda Oliver, William 04 Jul 1843 003 040 John Nowlin, JP
Creviston, Susannah Rotson, Nathaniel 10 Jan 1817 001 David Briggs, JP
The last one could be a first marriage for her.

There was a marriage of Susannah Creviston to Nathaniel Routson on 10 Jul 1817 in Darke County and the marriage he cites for their daughter Malinda also is correct. The only marriages for Henry Rush in Darke Co. are to a Rachel Douglas in 1823 and one for Henre H Rush to Christian Snell in 1834.
Another gedcom, though, has this disputing Nicholas as the father.http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:3261709&id=I0015, Updated: 2006-09-04 14:46:15 UTC (Mon) Contact: jaimee hedlund,ask4jaimee@yahoo.com;

Note: I do not know how Nicholas can be the father of Henry 1778. Nicholas was born 1760 or abt 1768. He would be too young to be his father. Or of Daniel 1814. Nick died in 1801. Sorry to all, but this wasn't making sense with the census and what Washington twp had on him and the 1840 census with just his oldest son John. Some families way back may have been confused, there were so many duplicated names. Sorry to ruffel any feathers!

Malinda Routson is a real poser. According to county history, she was born in Darke Co., Ohio, 1816. No records have been found of any Routson family in Darke or adj. county around that time. However, a Nathaniel Routson was there briefly, married Susanna Creviston in 1817 and was then discovered to have another wife & children in Maryland so fled the county to escape Henry Creviston's wrath (Henry believed to have been Susanna's brother). Census records indicate Malinda was born 1817-1819. According to age at death, she was born 1817.
