Shared note

From the research of David Donahue

Martha Rushing was the daugter of David Rushing and Nancy Deason. Her birth date is not known but probably was 1814-1818. She died before 1850. The children of Martha Rushing are recorded in the probate records of the estate of Enoch Deason Rushing in Sumter Co., Alabama. Thr probate record generally lists the children in the order in which they later appear in the 1850 census in Decatur County. The probate records lists daughters Frances White and Matilda White not listed in the 1850 census. One of these probably is the Melvina listed in the census. The Sumter Co. probate records note that George W. Harrell had been appointed by the Decatur Co. Court as guardian of Martha's children.

She married Albert White, son of Reuben R. White and Isabella Welch, circa 1834. He was born October 18, 1814, in NC, and died March 15, 1885. Albert is buried in Ebenezer Cemetery, Henderson Co., TN. Albert White was a farmer. One source lists Albert White as a son of Henry White and Hannah Rushing. Based on age and location, he seems more likely to have been a son of Reuben White and grandson of Henry White. In the 1850 census Albert White is living in Decaturville (household #57) near William H. Morgan (#58), Nicholas D. White (#59), and Ruben White (#61).
