Note provided by Bob Mitchell: Deed Book Z, Page 531. Nancy Rushing to Robert Huntley, 246 acres of land on Brown's Creek and Little Brown's Creek. Nancy Rushing is the wife of David Rushing late of Anson Co. WIT. J. White and Stephen Huntley. Jan Ct. 1838.

Nancy apparently moved to Tennessee after her husband's death. She is living with son, William Gilbert in 1830 Perry County. In 1840 Perry County she is listed as head of family with one son living with her, probably Calvin Rushing. She is shown at the top of the census page with Rebecca Jackson next and then Mary Bennett, all female heads of families. Perry County was split in 1845 and the area where Nancy and her sons lived, west of the Tennessee River, was renamed Decatur County.

Janie: In the 1850 census Nancy is living with her son William Gilbert and his family. Next household is her daughter Rebecca Rushing Jackson. See census posted in William's Notes.
