1.   .

   There was another Rush Family from Augusta County (now Rockingham County), Virginia that has been studied by many, and incorrectly believed by some, to be the same family that migrated to Pendleton County, Kentucky.
   Charles O. Rush (also spelled "Risch") and Maria Elizabeth Seuss were members of the Peaked Mountain Church; formed in union between the Lutheran Church and the German Reformed Church in McGaheysville, Virginia; two churches of German culture. The children born to Charles and Maria were John Peter, George, Peter, Anliss (Anne), and Betsy. It was Peter Rush who would later marry Barbara Hanger in Augusta County, Virginia on June 20, 1786. However, this same Peter Rush remained in Augusta County, Virginia and is a part of the census records or tax records for 1782, 1787, 1790, 1810, and 1820. In the 1820 census for Rockingham County, Virginia, there appears a Barbara Rush. Peter Rush, her husband, probably stayed on in that county until his death leaving Barbara Rush to be counted in that census. Therefore, he would not have been the same Peter Rush listed in the Madison County, Kentucky tax records in 1792-1793, nor the same Peter who married Polly Mullins there in 1793, nor the head of household in the 1810 and 1820 federal census for Pendleton County, Kentucky, nor the same Peter Rush that deeded property to his son Greenberry Rush in Rush County, Indiana in 1824. Therefore the conclusion at this time is that Charles O. Rush and his descendants from Rockingham and Augusta Counties in Virginia were not related to John, Peter, and possibly Elizabeth Rush who came to Pendleton County, Kentucky.
