Note: From "Rushing Past" newsletter, II(1), Mar 1980, by Charles C. Rushing: "Let's start with the Isle of Wight Co VA. 'Early Eighteenth Century Palatine Emigration" by Knittle (pg. 252) states that on the 2nd sailing from Holland to England then to VA, there was listed 23 May 1709 Mathys Riesin (German for Rushing) and Vrow (wife) and three children. Then on pg 262 Mattys Russin - they were of Protestant faith and could not worship as Protestants in Germany. In 'Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight Co VA' by John Bennet Boddie, it states that Mattys Russian sold 150 acres to Wm Bridger in 1714. The Rssians (Rushings) were living in an area overrun by Louis XIV of France and had escapaed to Holland. They were helped by Queen Anne of England who promised to take them to VA to settle there. In 'Lost Virginia Records' by Louis Des Cognets on pg. 88, Mathew Rushin applied for 475 acres with a partner Edward Goodson. Russin sold his (or a part) to Wm Bridger as stated above. This deed was dated 10 Apr 1707 ( a little variation from what is stated in the 'Palatine Migration' book). Mathys Rushin had to live on it for a period to get title; on 16 Jun 1714 he got his title (pg 190 of 'Lost Virginia Records'). Here is a synopsis: 1707 Mathew Rushin applied for 475 acres; 1714 he received Patent." But this is only one theory of the Rushing family origins. I am presenting it because it is a theory that presents at least documentary evidence. However, there are several other legends and theories on the origins of the family, the most widespread being that the family is Welsh. There is evidence for a James Rushing in New Kent Co VA in 1667, and a Mathew Rushing in Charles City Co VA bef 1670.

The Rushings who settled along the Beech River in west TN came from Anson Co NC. The Rushings in Anson Co NC seem to be very closely related, but working out the relationships with them is extremely difficult, particularly because there are so many William Rushings. I propose the following hypothesis. The Beech River Rushings seem to be descended from two near contemporary Wm Rushings who lived on Brown's Creek (a contemporary John Rushing lived on Thompson's Creek in the Chesterfield District SC). To attempt to clarify the relationships, I plotted probable locations of Rushing land grants and deeds. This group is associated with the elder and younger Joseph Whites in land grand and deed records. This group includes two Williams, Richard, Phillip, Soloman, and a John. The other group is found 5-10 miles farther south on Thompson's Creek, on the headwaters of Brown's Creek and on Little Brown Creek. This group includes two or more Williams, two or more Johns, a Mathew, Robert, Noah and Abraham. They are associated to land grants and deeds with Benjamin Jackson and John jackson. The breakdown is not exactly this simple, however, and some adjustments have to be made. Except for living near the southern Rushing group, Abraham is most closely tied to Richard, Solomon, and others in the northern group.

Note: From gedcomr2493116: "According to Virgil W. Huntley of Mystic CT, who has studied deed records for the Rushing family in NC, "Mathew Rushing, father of William, had a wife, Elizabeth, as she acknowledges the sale of lad to Wm Bridges or Bridger on 15 Jul 1718. Widow Elizabeth Rushing is said to have married either Edwin or Edward Goodson as her 2nd husband. Elizabeth is said to have died about 1743 to 1747 leaving property to Goodson. A most dramatic will is said to be filed by Goodson. Virgil Huntley also estimates that Mathew's son, WIlliam, had to have been born abt 1710 or earlier because he purchased his father's property in 1730. Neither of the William Rushings on Brown's Creek seem to be old enough to be the William,son of Mathew. Either or both might be grandsons.
