Abraham Rushing (Abraham, 4). Born 1772. Died 1848, Humphreys Co., TN.
The following information is from a sketch of Abraham Rushing 1772-1848 by Bill Medling which appears in "Rushing Past," III(2), June 1981.
Abraham "came to Tenn. in or before 1810. On 4 Dec., 1810, he and his wife, Celia (Cealy) joined Garrison Fork Baptist Church by letter"
"In 1813, Sister Ceiley Rushing was found 'faulty' and excluded from the church. She and Abraham were later divorced. In 1815, Abraham Rushing was also excluded from the church for marrying a 2nd wife & his first wife was still living. Now we learn from Cuz Betty Riley whom I obtained many of these facts, that Abraham bought land in Stewart Co. in 1832, moved to that county in 1834, being accompanied by an Abel Rushing."
Abraham lived in White Oak Creek section of Stewart County which was later transferred back to Humphreys County. His will was probated and his estate was settled in Humphreys County. Abraham is the ancestor of many Rushings in the White Oak Creek section of Hemphreys County, Tennessee. Through his son John, he also is ancestor of the Rushings living around Cannon County, Tennessee.
