Conversation, with Steve Rush, of Suffolk, England moved now to Australia

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.

Ayres in “Genealogy of the Rush Family ofVirginia and the Terrell Genealogy” as coming to America 21 May 1635 at the age of 20. He would have been born ca 1615. He was the father of at least one child; 20. i. William Rush II b. ca 1640 d. 20. William RUSH II] [2] [1. Wm. I 1] was born ca 1640 probably in Virginia. He married ca 1640 probably to Ann GRAY. He was with Sir Thomas Luntsford in 1650. Records show him listedin a deed of 12 Jan 1664 where he received a deed from a Howson for 100 acres. This land in Westmore, VA, was re-patented by him in 1704 and deeded to his son, William Rush on 22 Julb1689. They were parents of at least one son; 30. i.

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

Mark Stephen Elliott

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.

Both aDNA & mtDNA results should be the same between siblings, as it is through the same parents. Were there 2 different companies used? L21 has the highest proportions in Celtic areas like Brittany, Ireland etc. Those involved in the Norman Conquest, came from different areas in the north of France and Flanders and could have come from different ethnic backgrounds. While the leading group may have been descended from the Vikings and would be likely be hg I2, the ordinary soldiers might be descended from Celtic France and be R-L21 or R-U152 or so on. More significant is the distribution of samples of the R-L1066 subgroup [which one group of Greshams are in]. Most of the FTDNA samples are in Ireland, Scotland or the western side of England. There is a lack of samples in Eastern and SE England, and on the continent. Presumably the Gresham in Norfolk is recorded in the domesday census, and one possibility is that the surname came from that place. Another possibility is that there was an unrecorded event early in America, and we would need a sample from a Gresham who is still in England.

There is no record in my family tree, that we are related to Sir Thomas, but there is a record that I am not related to Dr Benjamin Rush. Not familiar with the Issac C and his son Cyrus Rush. Look below my Hammer line on ancestry.com shows an autosomal match going back a couple hundred of years. Could use more info on subject. Y-DNA goes back a long distance. Do you have any US surname matches, which may have submitted autosomal to gedmatch, which I could compare with?
