1 male 10 to 15
1 male 20 to 30
2 males 30 to 40 - Isaac 3 females under 5
2 females 5 to 10
1 female 20 to 30 From the research of David Donahue Isaac Rushing was born circa 1799 in NC and died April 1853 in Natchitoches Parish, LA. Isaac is an interesting early Rushing. He appears frequently in early Perry County court records, often in scrapes (assault and battery, assault to commit murder). Did he leave Perry County because things were getting too hot? An oral tradition among descendants of Morning Rushing Tolley is that Isaac abandoned his family. This probably is not correct. Other records show that Isaac's Louisiana family and his Decatur County family remained in contact with one another until the Civil War. The family of Issac Rushing is outlined in the probate records of Natchitoches Parish, LA which name all of Isaac's children and all the children of Isaac's two wives. All children born before 1840 were born in Perry Co. TN. He was born in NC and lived in Perry Co. during the 1820s and 1830s but moved to Natchitoches Parish, LA before 1840. He has descendants in Decatur Co., including all present Tolleys. |
