From the research of David Donahue

This William Rushing owned land on Thompson's Creek and Little Brown's Creek and may have lived in what is now Chesterfield County, South Carolina. Most of his descendants seem to have lived in Anson County and are associated with the other Rushing group living there.

This William Rushing seems to have been the one who received land grant No. 495 dated 13 October 1756, on Thompson's Creek. He is listed as William Ruskin. This William Rushing also received land grant No. 947 dated 26 May 1757for 400 acres in Anson County of the S.W. side of Pee Dee river, joining the E. side of the N. fork of Thompson's Creek and crossing the creek twice.

This William Rushing is probably a grandson of Mathew Rushing and probably a first cousin of the contemporary William Rushing living on Brown's Creek near Black Jack Branch. Most likely name for the father of this William Rushing would be John Rushing.
