People have linked my family line directly to a Dr Benjamin Rush, signer of the US Declaration of Independence.

Emma Ona Rush Elliott wife of AW Elliott, I attended her 90th, and funeral, she was from Kentucky. The family line leads to North Carolina, of which during the American Revolution, I have found  two Benjamin Rush, when there was one in Pennsylvanian, a Dr Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence.

There is a Bobby Rush, who beat Obama, and wore a hoodie in congress, and was taken out because of no head covering.

Rush is a strong Pennsylvanian (Penn’s wood(s)), Quaker name, and where they originated in America, with William Penn. In North Carolina out of their convictions, Quakers free their slaves and moved westward. The slave (considered family) would take on the name of the Quaker, and maybe the hat wearing they use to do. It is felt that my family had a high likelihood of being at one time Quaker slave owners. Quakers were a group of strong abolitionists.

Dad has done extensive research on the Emma Ona Rush Elliott line, which is of Mt Ayr, Iowa, and the nursing home there is on land previously owned by her.

It has been pasted through the Rush line that “all Rushes are related”. If I as a white individual were to attain a black Rush reunion in North Carolina, because I feel these are my family and not the ones of Pennsylvania, I would be made to feel welcomed.

Steve Rush, We have this thing more than half solved. Imaging a Rush from East Anglia, living in Australia, utilizing DNA, and going after one of the top genealogical problems of the day. Where is William Rush from in England, and today we can say it’s not Wales, and is most likely Suffolk, East Anglia. Still feel that the Rush of Anglia, and the Rusch of southern Denmark-northern Germany are of the same group. The spelling is felt not to travel, but the word pronunciation of “rush” travel over, then came into the written language, in Anglia, spelled Rush(e), in Denmark-Germany spelled Rusch. so both groups carry similar Y-DNA, which incorporates R-L21 and I-M253, the R-L21 basically fizzled out before going to Scotland, but the I-M253 made it with strength. With the Gresham, Grisham, and Grissom, of Gresham, Norfolk, about 75% have the R-L21 like you. These R-L21 acquire there name base from Gresham more than 800 years ago, which gives a spread in their Y-DNA, and evolution in their name where most which use the “i” are not from England. The other 25% are Non Parental Events NPE. So the name started as example, John from Gresham, John de Gresham, and the “de” was dropped to make John Gresham for instance. Because the name Rush is prominent in Suffolk, it is very unlikely your name change, maybe from something like “Rushe” to “Rush”, but it was never “Rusch”, that is the way it was phonetically spelled by the Danish-Germans, given similar pronunciation, like with the words “bear” and “bär”; same pronunciation, same meaning, but different spellings. Need a William Rush born in Suffolk, in or near 1615. Should be noted; names from region ending in “-ton” (farmstead/town), and “-ham” (manor-likely fortified), are place names. This is a genealogical problem, I knew of, but with the extensive research done on it by the Rush of the world, was going to allow the Rush to have it. It is my honor Steve to be working with you on such a major dilemma to this Rush line.

Steve, ever know the surname Howsen? Steve, guess you are right the DNA comes from Suffolk, East Anglia.

BASICS of the Y-DNA

Steve Rush (FTDNA East Anglia)

Like I said you get that A159663 (*lkje) [gedmatch.com] from the Johnson research site nobody would expect me to have a 7cMs match with some one YOU at 2-3 hundred years so a 5.8 Cma is pretty interesting to me. I am related to Issac C Rush and his son Cyrus Rush and so are you Mate (from Suffolk, England, but now lives in Australia). and LISTEN WE ARE NOT related to DR Benjamin Rush Or Sir Thomas Rushe and you can shuffle your numbers and your files about all you like DNA does Not Lie. my ancestry Tree is RUSH STUFF 1

Steve Can not find any disagreement with what you have said above. Even found, Cyrus Hayden Rush, and Isaac C. Rush in my family tree, along with a George Bedford Johnson. Steve, but how are we related?

Related to Benjamin Rush, dad recorded VA, others NC. At first I thought NC, but after looking at dad’s records now think VA. May be interested in some of dad’s research I put online; https://www.elwald.com/rush-research-loren-s-elliott/ He did a lot of research on the Rush family, and knew great grandma Emma O. Rush when she was alive. Died at 96, as I can recall, and was at the funeral.

Feel that Rusch, being so much in East Anglia, is of Rusch in Germany; http://worldnames.publicprofiler.org

I have saved a lot of this and I thankyou for it the bit where You make out everyone from East Anglia is a bloody Saxon I think is a Load of B/S not everyone from East Anglia is an anglo saxon read Celt and Saxon Peter Beresford Ellis I think my DNA proves that my Rush family were there a long time before all the German tribes attacked and gave us the dark ages. is there anyone in this project interested in starting a sub branch of Celts of East Anglia Please contact me with your haplogroup.

Steve Rush, The genetic Anglo-Saxon part comes from an Oxford University study. https://www.peopleofthebritishisles.org/population-genetics of which surname analysis is not used. The part added, is a surname analysis given census distribution which I have contributed, which is not seemly agrees with the Oxford University study of Peoples of the British Isles. That words from the Germanic language, such as the word wolf and many others travel through the UK from Germany. With surname, when they travel between unfriendly nations sometimes the retention of the spelling of the former is not retains. For instance in north Germany where the Saxons migrated from there is a concentration of the name Rusch, and in the UK where the Saxons landed there is a concentration of the name Rush. Relations between England and Germany have always not be the best so the surname Rusch coming to England to indicate that it is not German would be changed in spelling to Rush. This surname analysis does not incorporate DNA. In a similar fashion the Oxford University DNA study People of the British Isles does not contain surnames.
