Comments

  • Source documents indicate that Nancy Welhoit married John Rush in either 1812 or 1814. The same sources indicate that she had the following children: Thomas Shirley Rush b. 1801, Mary Elizabeth Rush b. 1802, Martha Jane Rush b. 1806, John A. Rush b. 1808, all of which would have been born before the marriage. Although entirely possible, it is unlikely that they would have lived together and had four children before being married. Marriage date from ancestry.com profile, above, is entered here.
