There is a kinship of some sort with: Abner F. Ussery b 1815 Perry or Giles Co., TN d 1854 Guadalupe Co., TX with my Jane McClaren in Perry Co., TN. She was either a Rushing or a Ussery??? She is my 3rd gr-grmo:
1840 Perry Co., TN.,p.158, next door to Abner Ussery, who had been Admn, for Daniel McClaren, Jr.'s Estate in the l830's in Perry Co., TN. In rec of Perry Co., TN., Journal of the Court, Vol.3, Wm. Bird, Chairman, etc., for the use of Geo. W. McClaren, Admin., etc., vs Abner Usry (Ussery), Admin., etc. As he was next to the widow Jane McClaren in the 1840 census, and Admin. of the Estate of Daniel McClaren, Jr.,..
Jane is possibly the aunt of Abner Ussery of Perry Co., TN, as she is the right age to be the sister to his mother.
I have thought for over 30 years that my Jane was perhaps the sister of Abner Ussery of Perry & Decatur Cos., TN., as he was her next door neightbor in the 1840 Perry Co. census, and he was the Admin. for the estate of Daniel McClaren, who I believe was her husband, as her four ch were McClaren's.
I recently have found out that Abner Ussery was b 1815 Perry Co., TN, and his mother was Frances Rushing b 1800 Perry Co., TN d Jun 1870 Giles Co., TN. Then I realized that perhaps Abner was her nephew, and Jane & Frances were sisters.
I found a Jane Rushing today that was b 1813 NC, d 1884 in Decatur Co., TN, it is possible that it is her, she was d/o David & Nancy Rushing. My Jane named her daughter, my ancestor, Nancy Malinda McClaren, perhaps Nancy was named for her mother.
David Rushing was b abt 1778 Anson Co., NC, s/o Robert Rushing, who was s/o William Rushing of Anson Co., NC, he was the s/o Mathew Rushing (Mathys Riessin). This is information from the Ancestral File, submitted by a man named Jack R. Rushing of California in 1994.
Does anyone know if there is a connection of this RUSHING line to my ancestor in Perry or Decatur Co., TN? I would be happy to exchange and share with you.
