Daughter of David Howard Rushing (1843–1914) and Martha Mattie Fuker (1847–1909), siblings William J Rushing (1868–?), Henrietta Rushing (1870–?) and Henry E. Rushing (1870–?).

The United States Census, 1880^[1] found David H Rushing, a 37 year old married white male, born in Arkansas to parents born in Tennessee, living in Martin Township, Pope County, Arkansas. With him was his wife Martha and their four children. The youngest, Nancy, was born in August of the previous year and enumerated as 11/12 of a year old. David was a farmer, and the oldest three children were in school.

On July 1st, 1896, Thomas Eubanks married Nannie Rushing in Pope County, Arkansas.^[2]

The United States Census, 1900^[3] found Tom H 'Eubank', a 25 year old married white male, born April 1875 in Arkansas to parents born in Tennessee and Arkansas, living in Martin Township, Pope County, Arkansas. He had been married 4 years to Nannie 'Eubank'. With them were 2 year old daughter Eula and newborn son Odus. Tom worked as a farmer.

The United States Census, 1910^[4] found Tom H 'Ewbank', a 35 year old married white male, born in Arkansas, living in Martin, Pope County, Arkansas. With him was his wife of 14 years, Nannie, enumerated as the mother of six children, all living. The youngest were twins, 15 months old. Tom worked as a farmer.

Thomas K Eubanks, born 11 April 1876, died on 12 May 1912 and was buried in Rushing Cemetery, Dover, Pope County, Arkansas.^[5]

The United States Census, 1920^[6] found Nannie 'Eubank', a 40 year old widowed white female, born in Arkansas to parents born in Arkansas, living on her own farm (mortgaged) in Martin, Pope County, Arkansas. With her were five of her six children. Every member of the family could read and write and the youngest three children were in school. Her employment was listed as "Farmer" and all her children's as "Farm laborer, home farm".

The United States Census, 1930^[7] found Nann Eubanks, a 50 year old widowed white female, born in Arkansas to parents born in Arkansas, living as a renter at 909 West E Street, Illinois Township, Pope County, Arkansas. The owner of the house was enumerated separately, Alice Krebs, a 63 year old widow. With Nan in the household were her son and daughter and her son's wife. Nan had no employment listed, but her son was a driver for a transfer company and her single daughter was a housekeeper in a private home.

The United States Census, 1940^[8] found Nan Eubanks, a 61 year old married white female, born in Arkansas, living in Russellville, Illinois Township, Pope County, Arkansas. (She was likely still widowed and 'married' was a mistaken enumeration.) With her were her single daughter Eula and a grandson, Bill. Eula was enumerated as widowed but with the same last name; however, records seem to show she did not marry for the first time until 1941. Nan and Eula had no employment listed and had had 8 years of school; Bill had attended school in the past year, had 6 years of school, and was employed as a mechanic for the NGA. None of the three reported any income in 1939.
