  1. Can anyone tell me how/why the Halderman family was one of the allied families of the David W. Rush family? I am the great grand-daughter of John (Allen) George Halderman, grand-daughter of Charles Edwards Halderman, daughter of Helen Louise Halderman (who died recently 4/26/11).

  2. Cherie, your great-grandfather John (Allen) George Halderman was married to Jessie Margaret Winters. Jessie's parents were Alrick David Winters and Nancy Ellen Rush. Alrick's parents were Louis Hollaway Winters and Margaret Loveall. Nancy Ellen's parents were John William Rush and Louisa Kemp.
    Does this answer your question?
    I'm going to get the upcoming Rush Reunion information posted in a few days. My husband would love to have you and your family come. He would also like to update your family's descendants.
    Thank you for posting! :)

    1. While I inherited three published genealogy books from my grandmother, the Oneal genealogy was not one of them. I took notes from her copy of Milton's research, however, I don't believe her copy still exists as my Aunt burned her papers. Sorry!

  5. I found my dads copies of Miltons Oneal research. ( two different copies). Also included with these copies i found Miltons research on the Canadays. Along with those items was pictures of the Oneals and Canadays.

  6. I am the great great granddaughter of Gertrude Steers Emerick who married/divorced John Nicholas Emerick. I have older documents of meetings and articles left by Sophie Fleischman (my great grandmother) regarding the Emerick vs Astor Estate as well as hand written notes. Sophie's half sister was Elizabeth "Lizzy" Emerick Fleischman. My mother wrote that she was probably one of the only or few direct descendants of this line. I had followed this for many years in my youth as I helped my mother work on our family tree. I am available to contact.

  10. Hi! We need a little more information on who Daniel Sullens is. I tried to find a Sullens in Jefferson County, MO. on Findagrave. Found 42, but not Daniel and Ada. My husband descends from a Peter Sullens. Maude Hoffman compiled some information on the Sullens family that my husband descends from. I have some more Sullen biographies on my sister blog, but not what you are looking for I fear. https://the-history-nut-of-missouri.blogspot.com/
    Have you tried the county courthouse for property records? Or Jefferson County, MO. history books. I found a History of Southeast Missouri by Robert Sidney Douglass, p.596 that mentions a Isaac Sullens. I added it to my Missouri bookshelf at Google Books (tab link above) if you wish to look at it. There is also info on page 348 for more Sullen info.

    1. You might also check out this website - the Bureau of Land Management General Land Office (GLO) Records website. It's been very helpful to my family research. -- https://glorecords.blm.gov/default.aspx

  11. Hi. I am a 4 x great grandson of Henson Rush thru John William Rush and Amanda Rush. I have been working for months on my tree and adding photos. I saw a copy of a photo of John William Rush in “The Rush Report” but have been totally unable to find any pictures of Amanda Rush. I am hoping it might be possible to download or be emailed the John William Rush original, and most importantly, get help in finding a picture of my great great grandmother. Thank you for any help.

    1. Welcome to our genealogy blog. I'm not sure if we have a photo of Amanda, but I can ask my husband. I checked Findagrave and it only has her tombstone photograph. If my husband knows of one, perhaps we can load it there for you and you can capture a screen shot of it. - https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/46944719/amanda-jane-loveall
      Stay safe!

    2. I have uploaded a photo to John William Rush, Sr. and John William Rush, Jr.'s Findagrave memorials. My husband said as far as he knew, there is no known photograph of Amanda. Sorry!

    3. I found the photos. I thank you and please thank David. That is perfect, and a very good place to share photos. I have been doing genealogy for months on the Buster and Rush family, and have been able to gather some photos from cousins around the country. My open tree on Ancestry.com is Buster/ Adams, if you use that site, at all. Though I am in Washington, once Covid is over I hope to maybe attend a Rush reunion. Many photos end up lost or in a shoebox or garage. Since so many of the Buster, Rush, Winters, etc. descendants still live in the central/west Missouri area, I wish there was a way to do a sort of photo drive, where people dug out the photos with names and shared them. Maybe someday. Thanks again for helping me with these photos. I really appreciate it. Cory

    4. You are very welcome! :) We both have the basic package on Ancestry and have had our DNA done. For the first time ever, since we began holding a Rush reunion, we had to cancel last year's reunion. I hope the best for this year (2021). At previous reunions, family members have passed around photograph albums and once we brought our computer and scanner and scanned many photos that day. That was back in the day before wand scanners. smile! Perhaps we'll see each other on Ancestry. Have a great week!

  12. How do I go about getting a copy of The Rush Report?

    1. It is online, at the Internet Archive/Open Library. I have a link to it here on my blog. Look under “His Family” on the side menu, scroll down to the link, click on it and the link will take you directly to the book. You can research what you want from the site or if you want a copy, I believe, you can download a pdf. If you have anymore questions, come back, and I or my husband will help you to the best of our ability.
