From the research of David Donahue

The birth date for Abraham Rushing is somewhat controversial. Several sources use 1730. I have been unable to determine if there is a factual basis for this or if this date is based on identifying the wrong Phillip Revolutionary War veteran Phillip) for the son Phillip (probably the Phillip I. in the 1800 census) named in Abraham's will. Based on ages of Abraham's children other than Phillip, Abraham need not have been born before 1750. Land grant records indicate a probably birth date of 1740-1745.

Abraham Rushing received land grant No. 6314 dated 15 November 1762 for 300 acres in Anson County on the North Fork of Thompson's Creek joining above John Jackson.

Abraham Rushing received Land Grant No. 8814 dated July 25, 1774, and issued by Josiah Martin, Royal Governor of the Colony of North Carolina. The grant was for 150 acres in Anson County on the branches of Thompson's Creek, joining Thomas Creek and Rushing's own survey, between the two prongs of Thompson's Creek.
