Biography

Highly married John Christopher King before 1799, when their oldest child was born; some websites give a marriage date in 1798, but I have found no sources to support his.

Highly and John lived in Turkeyfoot Township all their lives, and had eight children there: Jacob King (1799 - 1874), Rachel King (1803 - 1861), Thomas Rush King (1805 - 1861), John Rush King(1809 -1861), Mary King (1810 - 1903), Moses King (1812 - after 1840), William King (1813 - 1854), Sarah Rush King ( 1815 - 1901).

After John died in 1842, Highly apparently lived with her daughter Sarah, who married Lewis Sanner.

There was a profile of a male Highly Rush; however, there was no male Highly Rush child of Jacob Rush; I do not know the reasoning behind the creation of this profile, and it has now been fixed. Be wary, however, if you see it anywhere else, as it is untrue.
