Mathew Rushing was born in S. C. circa 1750, lived in Beaufort District,
Saint Peters Parish, S. C. and was a farmer. He was a patriot in the
Revolutionary War, having served 21 days. Mathew filed claim against the
State of S. C., claim 657, Book N.  The claim paid 9 pounds, 17 shillings
and 2 pence sterling for 500 Troy weight of beef for Militia and hire of
a horse for the Militia 1780-1782. Mathew died circa 1815 in S. C.
Elizabeth and Mathew had five known children, and there were probably
others.
Can you give me documentation on the father as Solomon? I am a decendant
of Malachi Rushing Beaufort District SC twin brother to Mathew who moved
to Mississippi in 1808. The majority of us who decend from this line
believe the father of these two to be a Mathew Rushing of Anson NC born
1740.
Mathew Malachi Rushing was b. 1760 in Beaufort Co SC. He married
Elizabeth Thornhill in Beaufort, St. Peters Parish SC. He d. 1815 in
Beaufort SC. His wife and children moved to Pike Co AL some time after he
died and were buried there. The children were Mathew Rushing, Arther
Rushing, Malachi Rushing, Temperance Rushing, Rosanna Rushing, William
Cain Rushing. If you have anything conecting to this family please
contact me. Teri Craft craftywench@@perry.gulfnet.com   (6/17/98 7:48:31

RON:
Elias Jeanerette is an approved soldier of the Revolution by SAR. So you
do not have to prove his service; you only have to show acceptable proof
of each generation that you descend from him.
The father of William Cain Rushing, Matthew Rushing, has also been
accepted by SAR, and I filed a supplemental application on him. Reference
to my National number of 144027 is sufficient reference to his service.
Application must be filed through one of the chapters in Alabama (I
assume you reside in Alabama).  Go to our National web site, www.sar.org
and the Alabama Society can be accessed, as well as the various chapters
and the chapter officers. Get in touch with one of them for information.
