Rushing or McKinney in AR

DiannaWisdom — 2012-05-25 17:49:11Z

I'm looking for any information on a Mrs. Jocie Rushing who was living in El Dorado (Route 5), Union County, Arkansas in 1939.

My grandmother's brother (Samuel Joseph McKinney) showed her as his nearest relative on his WW II Draft Registration Card, and I'm trying to figure out if she could be their missing sibling. IF she is a sibling, she would have been Jocie (Josie or some variation) McKinney, born between 1870-1900 in Union County, Arkansas. The only other possible connection that I can think of might be to his then deceased wife, Pearl Snell McKinney (d. 1919 Union County).

Thanks for any help.

My father's mother was Estelle Rushing (Negro)as far as I know her father was James Rushing (White)I've been told our Indian background was Chaktah Indian Louisiana. But there are tales of Cherokee still putting pieces together.

I have some Rushings up in that area. The Great Uncle's that moved out there from TN were Lewis Rushing and Donnally Rushing. There were also 2 Great Aunts Eddie and Robbie. They were all born in the 1880's and moved to Northern CA sometime between 1910 and 1920.

My mom is Tina (Rushing). My Aunt is Tracey (with an E) Rushing and my uncle is Travis Eugene Rushing (Dino). They were born to Elizabeth Jean Torres aka my grandma Betty and Travis Rushing Sr. My uncle Dino passed away 07/08/09. My great grandma's name is Opal. My uncle only had 3 girls so he wasn't able to pass on the Rushing name.

I'm not sure if we are kin or not? But my great grandmother was a Rushing by marriage, her maiden name was baker. She was a daughter to an Cherokee Indian slave that married her slave owner. I'm not sure on all the details, but she did walk the trail of tears. They ended up in Fredonia Kentucky. My great granny was known by the name Mammie. Her given name was Mary Jane Baker Rushing. Her mother was full blooded cherokee indian. My grandmother, Mammie's daughter had the high cheek bones and was dark skin.

John "Stud Hoss" Rushing 1787 - 1870

marushing — 2012-04-10 14:10:39Z

Hello, everyone.

I am looking for any information about John "Stud Hoss" Rushing, who lived in the Goose Creek Community in North Carolina (then Anson, now Union County). John is my 4th great grandfather, but I cannot find anything about his parents.

Any information would be greatly appreciated, but this has turned out to be a major road block for my research.

Thanks,

Matthew A. Rushing

My grandmother died at the age of 26 in the Palmer TB Sanitorium in Springfield Il. I cannot find any information to help me know anything about her. It is as if she never lived, but she did. She died leaving my three year old father Jack and his six year old brother James. If you have any information about the family please contact me. She deserves to be remembered somehow. Her father was James Rushing and her mother was Laura Jane Jones Rushing.

Alabama Rushings

2011-08-06 14:19:21Z

My grandmother's name was Rosa Lila (sp?) Rushing. She married James Madison Green circa 1918. Rosa Leila's parents were Mollie and Mr. Rushing (I don't know my great-grandfather's first name.) However, family history has it that he was either a Cherekee or Choctow Chief. Mollie Rushing was of mixed heritage, Indian and Creole. Some family members say that she was only Creole.

Mollie and Mr. Rushing had several children, my grandmother, Rosa Leila, Sara, Myrtle, John and Samuel. Samuel served and died in World War I.

They lived in the Demopolis, Alabama area. It is also near Dug Hill. My family oral history also asserts that they migrated to Alabama from Mississippi.

any information, please respond at lisarice@aol.com

Margaret married Houston Isaac Toney and had 4 children, Lee Toney, Henry W.

Cherokee Rushings

2011-08-06 14:07:22Z

I know very little about my grandfather, but here goes...His name was Walter Ewing Rushing, born 1/16/1904, died in August 1982. He was born in Benton County,TN (near Paris) and moved to Johnson City, TN in 1924. His first job was with Gamblin (sp?) Oil. During the war, he worked for Ralston Defense in Oak Ridge. He owned 2 different gas stations, the last one was a Texaco station purchased in 1952 in Johnson City, TN. I know that he had two brothers, Othell and Nathaniel. Othell died last May. (Sure wish I had started this in time to contact him!!)

Walter married Mae Raines and they had four kids (Bill, Betty, Bob and Ben). Ben was my father. Betty and Bob are the only two still alive to my knowledge. We aren't close, and I don't even know if I could contact them.

Let me know if this fits with any of your information! Nice to hear from you!

Cherokee Rushings

2011-08-06 14:04:17Z

Thanks for the info. We're probably related way, way back there somewhere. I've been told that there was Cherokee on both my paternal grandparents' sides of the family (Rushing and Reins). I haven't had contact with the Rushing side of my family for many years, so it'll take a little "doing" to get info. As I get info together, I'll pass it on. Happy Holidays!

My grandmother was supposedly 1/2 Cherokee, according to the Western Cherokee Nation of AR MO. She was b 1880 Hopkins CO TX. Her father was Jonethan Rushing b 1846 TX or IT. His father was Abel b Rushing mother Lucinda Barnard b 1816 Roane co tN. His father was Jason Rushing mother was Alice Gulledge. There was Cherokee in the Rushing Barnard lines but I don't know how much came from where. My great grandparents received land in TX for their Indian heritage. Billie

Re: Stanley Silas Rushing

I was glad to see the info you posted on Stanley Silas Rushin (the "g" is not used by my family). He was my gggrandfather. However, I need to correct my ggrandmother's name. Her name was Minerva Jane, not Malinda James. She married Anderson Taylor Webb, Jr. Their son, Mallard Stanley Webb, married Vera Carmen Forbess (later one "s" was dropped making it Forbes). My mother, Alice Marie Webb Choate, was the youngest of 8 children born to this union.
